Bebe Rexha might not be your regular Grammy darling — but she doesn’t need any of the trophies to confirm the most important thing in this biz … namely, people love her music.
Here’s the deal … BR has three songs that have now broken a billion streams each — including her hit with G-Eazy, “Me, Myself & I” — which clearly means fans dig the content and then some — but as Bebe herself noted, she doesn’t have the hardware to prove it.
That’s what we talked to her about this week at LAX … where we asked why she thought the numbers don’t necessarily translate to awards, even when the consensus among listeners is overwhelming.
Watch what she had to say … in Bebe’s eyes, there’s a lot more at play behind the scenes when it comes to collecting accolades — including politics and money, and it sounds like she thinks her music, for whatever reason, doesn’t sway the powers that be.
No matter, though … ’cause Bebe tells us she’s got everything she needs to be happy — including enough dough to take care of her family, and the love and support of her label/team … not to mention her adoring fans, which is all that matters to her.
Great perspective here, and it might actually be a trickling down philosophy courtesy of Champagne Papi … who’s been snubbed many a time at award shows.
Seems this debate is still ongoing, even after last year’s Weeknd drama — and Bebe’s given her two cents.
