In a recent Instagram post, Margeaux Simms pointed out that Nicki Minaj and Erykah Badu have called out cultural appropriation, but they aren’t necessarily supporting with other black artists.
She writes:
There is so much tension about so many things right now in popular culture. I find myself getting mad at some bullsh*t I read too.
It’s kinda funny to me how we blacks scream and get irate about being appropriated by others ( I’ve done it too) but then I realized…. Erykah Badu (who I like) can’t give Azealia Banks props or Nikki Minaj and Azealia Banks can’t do a record together. Granted maybe they don’t creatively get along, but you get the point. We should really look at how we support each other As we keep petty feuds alive; and not buy music from our so called favorite artists. There will always be appropriation, especially when aging artists think they can say what they want but don’t realize the power they have. Get mad at yourself not others. #firepower #girlpower #insideout #iTunes #startawar #beyourself #beyou #torontoswag #hofm #houseofmargeaux @nicksuttle ? @iamjamalscott ? #snoopdog

Who asked her unemployed a-s her opinion?

This is such an ignorant outlook on what’s going on with the industry. Black artists collaborate and they still struggle to sell albums. They tweet support of each other, and they still flop. This isn’t the fault of black people beyond the fact that we should hop off our butts and buy more music.
Thank you. The fans are the bigger problem here.
No the trash music is the problem. I will always buy dope underground music but some non humble, usually doing little to nothing for the community save for cheap tweets, industry slave won’t get any of my coins especially in 2016.
Who?
I guess Margo was hiding under a rock when everything went down. People don’t support Azealia because she has a nasty attitude and she starts too much drama.
Did she really use Azealia Banks as an example? Really? That made her whole argument void.
Exactly. She tried it.
Margeaux and that big a-s jaw of hers needs to have a seat! Nobody collaborates with Azaliea because of her fked up attitude….ask K Michelle!
Nah. She really did try to sound deep though. Good for her.
And this is why she got fired from the show. Her holier than thou attitude is annoying and I’m not here for it.
Azealia Banks is a messy person who bullies people who have been in the industry way longer than she has. She can’t get along with anybody. But it’s dishonest to say black artists don’t support each other. We see that’s a lie every time they do songs together and in some cases full albums. J Cole and Kendrick have an album on the way together and even Drake and Future had a successful mixtape. Black artists also tour together and promote each other’s albums all the time on social media. She should pay more attention before she attempts to come for people.
Ok Imma give Marg-No a pass for Nicki….cause I’m trying to think who does Nicki support besides Young Money, Herself, Beyoncé and her boo Meek Mills?
She married Nikko everybody. Nikko! So I can never take her seriously.
Perhaps…..a bunch of yrs back Nikko wasn’t a slime ball who looked like a slime ball…….but anyway Marg-No is twisted…and usually twisted sistas like her just settle for any man who comes their way cause they are trying to figure themselves out..I knw a few females like this lmao
