The currently trending discussion on Twitter is Tinashe and, sadly, it isn't because " Joyride" , the long-awaited follow-up to 2015's Aquarius, sprung a leak. It's over some surprising comments she made in an interview with The Guardian, which is doing no favors for her career.
Things started out fine enough. When asked about where her career is going, Tinashe kept it 100: "Things haven’t always gone according to my original plan, but that’s life, and things change." As the interview progressed, the concept of being a woman in the music industry crept up, and Tinashe voiced her frustrations about the unfair boxes women are painted into. "There are hundreds of [male] rappers that all look the same, that sound the same, but if you’re a black woman, you’re either Beyoncé or Rihanna. It’s very, very strange." After it was suggested that Ciara made a go of it, Tinashe agreed, saying "It felt like they almost had to sacrifice someone because there wasn’t enough room, which isn’t true. Ciara’s an amazing artist, Beyoncé’s an amazing artist, Rihanna’s an amazing artist, and they’re all very different!"
It was after this that Tinashe dropped the comment that's gotten her into hot water. Explaining that being mixed has been an issue for her in the industry, Tinashe said "There’s colorism involved in the black community, which is very apparent. It’s about trying to find a balance where I’m a mixed woman," she continued, "and sometimes I feel like I don’t fully fit into the black community; they don’t fully accept me, even though I see myself as a black woman. That disconnect is confusing sometimes."
And with that comment, Her Twitter fans went on placing sorts of comments about her as an artist and her career ...some comments are in pictures below
