@safespacewithkay: What if “one hit wonders” are people who actually took the time to read the contracts? Most people would sign their life away if they had the same chance these celebrities were presented with.
Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson, Patti LaBelle are in their 80’s. There’s no fkng reason why they should still be performing.🤷🏽♀️

Mya is prime example. she didn't sell her soul and didn't want any parts but she still is able to be successful on her own.

People don’t think! Some people wanted to make a hit, get the money and dip! Not everybody falls off😂 they made the conscious decision to move on

Thats what basically made chamillionaire who he is today some ppl say. He sued an executive or something like that. Won big. Got out the game learned to multiply his money, invests, etc. and is very successful financially. But he had that 1 hit and seen what he seen and got up out of there.

I have said this for years!! The ones who “made it” were willing to take the risk. I think some of the most talent is still not really discovered

As an independent artist who's turned down deals, YES!!! Yall gotta support those independent way more. We're more authentic bc we have the freedom & creative control.

I got cast on my very first audition for a multi-show deal on a kids network at 18. Once I realized the producer/show runner required me to move into his pool house as ‘artist housing’ paid for by the studio I said no. They also had a 👃 job & orthodontia lined up coming out of my paycheck. They were paying themselves to exploit me. There were a number of ‘investor networking events’ I was required to show up to a month. Yup, yachting. They specifically asked how I felt about boat’s & appearances in a 👙 . I was on the diving team but I get seasick. I didn’t know what yachting was but my cousins other uncle did. So did the other actors my mom asked (there were a lot of background actors/stand-ins at her government job).

Also a lot of one hit wonders still tour at small venues. They genuinely love making music and do it at a level that is normal and have a decent enough fan base to make a living doing it.

Mya has hinted that her singing career was short for this reason. she never said it. all she says is that she can sleep trouble free at night when asked about her short music career.
