Clearly a lot of people disagree. And don’t think that only “white America” supports her. She has a big fandom in Latinamerica, Europe and Asia.

Yes, this article is just ridiculous.

If Taylor’s music is “tired and lame,” what does that make yet another rap artist talking about how rich and important they are and passing it off as some sort of groundbreaking musical contribution to the world?

She’s former reality show star who actually managed to drop a record, like majority of them are trying to do. People seem to be confused as to why this new performer is being beaten by somebody who’s been in the business for 13 years.

It definitely doesn’t help that I’d never heard of Cardi B before this article.

“white mediocrity” Yeaaa.... she is famous and you are? Diminish this woman’s accomplishments is disgusting.  

See if you can spot the important word in the article’s title:

It doesn’t seem as though you comprehended this story correctly.

Seriously, there are plenty of actual cases of discrimination that you don’t have to go and try to invent more. Can’t really make a case for the Billboard 100 being racist when it was dominated by a song called “Despacito” in Trump era America for a good chunk of the year.

Sorry, it isn’t some proxy battle or anything.
