Being Played

I read an article that was written about what Rich Dollaz had to say about comments made by Fifty Cent concerning how much money he spent on Olivia Longott's career. I'm sure he didn't want to continue to spend big money on Lloyd Banks' woman.  Having a first lady of anything is expensive. All the former first ladies are gone. It costs much more to promote a female artist than a male. A man can spend $25 for a haircut and a line and buy a new outfit and he'll be straight. When weave costs $1000 a bundle and they have to have their hair and nails done all the time. It doesn't take long for female entertainers like Olivia to spend a fortune just for appearances sake.

Now I have a different perspective on female singers.  This is where the R&B Divas came from. They can all sing but they had no sponsors. This is why Rasheeda has lasted so long without a hit record. She isn't high maintenance.like K. Michelle or Olivia. She bought an outfit for her video at Marshalls that she went and bought herself. All she has to buy for her hair is gel for the edges. She is built up like a pretty white girl with a few bumps. The male rappers liked her, but her booty wasn't big enough to be a video vixen. They call her part of  the "p**sy  patting crew". She is cute but not a Nicki Minaj. She is so slim she doesn't have to wear spanxx. That's not thick enough.

Olivia once told Rich Dollaz she "was riding around the city looking pretty". How much did that cost? You have to be more than somebody's girl to make it big. That's not enough  these days. Look at Lore'l and Diamond. They are a thing of  the past.  They were being used, but not to their advantage. Now they're all Independent. K. Michelle is doing shows off a mixtape. Olivia has resorted to stealing other people's songs. There are only so many slots. She needs a song of her own that's being played on the radio.
