info_outlineWhy are Black women’s bodies STILL a topic of debate in the music industry? For decades, Black women in music and entertainment have been told they’re “too much”—too thick, too bold, too revealing, too unapologetic. From Missy Elliott and Jill Scott being overlooked in the 2000s to Lizzo facing constant scrutiny today, the industry has always policed Black women’s bodies.Meanwhile, white artists and thinner performers can profit off Black culture and curves without the same backlash.
