      An example of a good balance between music and business is Nicki's Pink Friday nails and numerous brand deals with designer brands. Nicki's revenue obviously comes from music but it's not too much to have a business that sells and markets her brand of avant-garde to her consumers that's affordable. The success of Rihanna, Nicki & Selena different from Beyonce, and Fenty beauty impacted the beauty industry, and Nicki's pink Friday nails and sneakers are affordable. Both sell a plausible image, unlike Beyonce. But Beyonce turned it around with products that are more in her lane of luxury.

    I think people forget that some of these women, while they might truly love making music, go through phases of life where they find new interests that they prioritize, just like everyone else. Rihanna for example seems fully involved in Fenty, and if that’s where she’s feeling the most driven and inspired right now (in addition to being a mom), I don’t think she owes anyone new music until she’s ready for it. Just my thoughts.

    • @CamrynSuzanne

      This is such a great point! I think music fans often get possessive and very attached to how you were introduced to somebody. And we have to remember that we’re not entitled to what they choose to do. Like you said they have interest just like all of us and I think if they create a brand that provides value, I don’t see a problem with it at all.

Why would a celebrity that is known for their face and beauty and flawless skin or outfits yadda yadda go for idk furniture? It wouldn't sell as much.

    Also, I really liked your break down of why these stars might need to make brands for themselves. I've never really thought of it that way but it makes so much sense! I generally don't care if a celeb makes a brand because 9 times out of ten, I'm not buying it anyway lol but it does bring a nuanced layer to the discussion which is appreciated.

      I think the people who are genuinely mad with Ariana acting our people who became fans yesterday😭 she always saying, but she always acted as a kid too. And victorious is what shot her into the spotlight and it was mainly for acting so I also get confused as to why people are so upset about it. Especially when this is a huge role, if she does it well it can only do great things for her career from here.
      And yeah, I wanted to add some perspective as to why some of these celebs are doing this so frequently! I think most of us jump to the perception that they’re all greedy and rich and don’t need the money but clearly some of these artists are not getting paid as well as we think they are once they’re finished paying their teams, and agents. Seems like a lot of conversations go back to artist being underpaid, even when they meet the highest threshold.

They simply parlayed the years they spent building and establishing their careers in Hollywood as actresses and as fashion models, becoming popular people who others wanted to be like and made fitness their personal product.

    I remember when Zendaya's clothing line "Daya" first started. same with "Tsnmi Co." by Kehlani. They had a brief moment with their first few launches, but then the faces of the brands slowly stepped away until the businesses closed. 2015 was a big year for health/beauty/makeup social media content. Influencers (instead of celebrities) became the new ambassadors for existing brands. Then after Rihanna launched "Fenty Beauty" it was a cultural shift. Not only did it become the standard for foundation shade ranges today, she launched before the celebrity vendor market (regardless of product category) was oversaturated. Nowadays, there's another celebrity brand at every corner.. "Jhenetics" (Jhene Aiko), "Know Beauty" (Vanessa Hudgens and Madison Beer), "Tresluce Beauty" (Becky G), "Bero" (Tom Holland), "MARI" (Marsai Martin), "Sun Goddess" (Mary J. Blige), "Viarae" (Issa Rae), "SKN" (Lori Harvey)..... I can respect the hustle but this is overwhelming.

      That's bc Fenty had an "it" factor, something that set it apart from the rest, which was inclusivity. Shade range, then size range, and even the models for the brand. It was very openly inclusive and the first time many people felt seen by these two markets, but especially the makeup one. Others were forced to step up their game. I'd say another brand that had this in mind was Rare Beauty. Selena's brand is inclusive, but in a different way, targetting people who have mobility issues, and it worked. That's what most of the other celebrities don't really think about and what makes it feel pointless. They're just "another brand", they don't have a rarget audience aside from fans, they don't have "it" factors that make them special in the eyes of the public aside fron just a famous face plastered on commercials and labels.

    One thing that I think a lot of people are missing from this conversation is that these mainstream artists are a product within themselves (as terrible as it may sound). Even when people like Rihanna or Beyoncé are selling stuff that’s not their music, they are still selling themselves and boosting their personal brand, which is why you see them in so many of the advertisements. To think that these people are ONLY selling products to people (mind you, no one HAS to buy them) is simply obtuse.
    If it was solely about the on the surface product at hand, no one would care that Beyoncé has come out with so many brands at this point. Does Beyoncé NEED a fashion line, hair care line, perfume line, AND liquor line? Absolutely not. But those products are not the only thing being sold. She is also part of the product in these brands. I personally think a deeper discussion of capitalism would benefit this video a lot!

    I used to work in the music industry years ago. The industry has changed quite a bit. Most artists today are not making money from album sales and a lot of these rappers are struggling to chart right now.
    Only dedicated fans want to attend these high priced concerts, and unfortunately sometimes these artists put on a lacklustre show.
    So some of these fans are choosing to go to festivals such as Coachella or Rolling loud, where they can see several rappers/singers for a cheaper price.
    So of course some of these artists are choosing to make money outside of the music industry. It's funny how Rihanna and Asap Rocky are criticised for focusing on other things instead of music but they make a lot more money outside of music.
    Asap Rocky got on the forbes list for fashion, not music.

    as someone who wants to make music but is also getting a degree in business management and finance. i think music and business creation is one in the same when you sign a deal to be a music artist that’s a business right there it’s the business of making your art so it’s not surprising that some would move to actually owning a business they not only want to own something for themselves and not have someone over them to tell them what to do but also it’s to also leave a piece of themselves not only in music but outside of it where they can show more of themselves but also show there creativity. Now i will say it’s getting out of control because not everyone NEEDS A BRAND OUTSIDE OF THERE OWN BRAND! J-lo for example DOES NOT NEED A BRAND! j-lo outside of being j-lo does not hit and doesn’t gravitate towards audiences . Beyoncé could also be someone who doesn’t need a brand outside of who she is as Beyoncé but with her putting in the behind the scenes work with some of her brand it has worked and sold for her so she is someone who can make and sell a brand but she has also had some falls but so has Kim K so it’s truly a tricky area in todays world

    • @CamrynSuzanne
      @CamrynSuzanne  28 дней назад +4

      Thanks for your perspective! when you look at it that way, absolutely. Music is a business and you are the brand, the selling point, what people come out to see. I agree with you, it can offer more control to these artists outside of their craft and control can be so important as a creative because we often get it taken away when working under the machine.
      A word fr, everyone doesn't need a brand outside of who they are. And J-Lo is a good example of that. I also think Bey is Bey, so that relatability aspect when it comes to selling is missing. Beyonce is the catch, she is that superstar that people are more than happy with hearing the music and seeing her on stage bc she's that great at what she does. I do think failure is apart of the process when it comes to making businesses sometimes so one or two duds here or there isn't horrible but unfortunately audience can lose trust when it's too many, one after another.

    Music and acting are very linked to each other. Before Ariana Grande was a household name in pop, she was on the broadway show 13: the musical and Victorious, a tv show. Music isn't as profitable as it was previously. Not every superstar wants to just keep making music, they want to do other things.

    I'm honestly so tired of celebrities turning themselves into brands. Inauthenticity and commercialisation of everything is a plague. I miss the times when artists or actors just did their damn jobs and the frequent endorsements rather than constantly marketing stuff to us. It's borderline influencer behavior. While the TikTokers are trying to make it as musicians, the musicians are seeing the bank in being business owners and as a result, selling stuff to people. Of course, with record labels being stingy, the artists are gonna seek out modes to diversify their incomes. Once again, thank you late-stage capitalism, you're really killing the vibe here!

    Theres a difference between making a brand with the intention of making money just because it has your name and actually taking time to make a company that represents them and that fans and people would buy because the product is good ,like riri for people of color who back then in 2017 makeup brands didn’t make dark shades at all and, selena with rare it’s friendly packaging for people who have lupus like those companies were made with a good intention and actually making peoples money worth it, but then the companies that are just name are like the kardashians no joke some of there companies are kinda trash and like millie no joke who actually buys from her company cause the products are good like yk then theres the old A list celebrities who think they’re name will make there company money when it doesn’t like jlo beauty gurl aint no one wanted that, so honestly some companies can be good if they have the intention of making a good product that can be marketed well and that people will love slay but if its just your name unless your loved at the moment it will either fail or people will say that the bill must be that high.

Where she has gained the trust of consumers. Selena Gomez also did a great thing with rare beauty and it's being well received. I also think that they both didn't make themselves the sole marketing point. They put the products at the forefront, models etc. vs. Kylie who made her entire brand centered around who she is. (which worked for a good while, but what happens when the public grows a sour relationship w/ you or you fade into the background)...People won't be checking for the brand in the same way they did before. The actual product isn't offering unique value

Now, it just feels as if the celeb merch market is now oversaturated. It is as if they don't realize that what made those things special was how scarce the celeb brands were in the mid 2000s. Now, all they are doing is making celeb brands to maintain their money and not expanding their portfolio.

    I think an example of good balance between music and business is Nicki's pink Friday nails and numerous brand deals with designer brands. Nicki's revenue obviously comes from music but its not too much to have a business that sells and markets her brand of avant gardeness to her consumers that's affordable. I think the success of Rihanna, Nicki & Selena differenciate from Beyonce, Fenty beauty impacted the beauty industry, and Nicki's pink Friday nails and sneakers are affordable. Both sell a plausible image unlike Beyonce. But Beyonce turned it around with products that are more in her lane of luxury.

      lowkey, True Religion is such a "hood" brand, its PERFECT for Sexyy Red to have gotten it. I know Megan is the bigger artist but i don't think the relation is there. Megan is more polished sex symbol, Sexyy is Ghetto Fine Hood B*tch and there would be MORE relatability w/ Sexyy, especially if she mentions them in her next few songs.

    I like music artists founding their business ventures because they’re understanding the power of ownership. A lot of them came into the public eye not owning their music, and seeing corporate companies take the lion share of profits from their labour creating art & touring. I respect artists leveraging their fame to start a business they _do_ own that can potentially earn them far more generational wealth than if they lent their face & influence to build someone else’s. Why build theirs when you can build your own?
    Also, once they see how much money they can make from owning a profitable business, it suddenly makes music seem like an extremely laborious, extremely time-consuming, high-effort, low-return venture or an expensive hobby. Like, I’m sure Jessica Simpson earned far more from her business than she ever did singing.😅 we know despite a massive catalogue of 14 no.1s, successful tours and 100s of millions of records sold, Rihanna earned _far_ more from her business ventures in _far_ less time.

    Honestly I get it. As much as I miss Riri😭🙌 I understand why artists branch out. The entertainment industry is so uncertain. So having something else under your belt is not a bad thing in my opinion. People, some, always get mad at celebrities doing something to stay relevant and unfortunately that's the quick world we living in. Rihanna needs to bring back 'Nude' tho😭💔 That was my signature scent and now it's no longer sold

    it also bothers me when artists have been putting out less and less music and more product and people keep saying "we dont want your products, we want music." ok well what if they dont wanna make music anymore? would you rather them throw you a bone and make a low effort/low quality music just to placate you? the artist is doing something else. get with it or dont. they will be missed but the era is over.

    I do just think of music as this purely artistic thing, some kind of new song they're dropping that's a fun bop to add to my playlist. But yeah the people behind it need to get paid, it's a job a livelihood that they sorely need to be compensated for. So ig I should be more understanding really, we're all here needing to make money.

    Bro no joke r.e.m beauty no joke seems like a cashgrab like it seems kinda desperate how much ariana tries to keep promoting rem but aint no one buying it no joke when it launched people hated it and the only thing that had hype where the pot concealer and lip oils but it died off so fast cause no joke rem doesn’t feel like ariana grande no joke she should do what gaga did she saved haus labs cause it was a flop honestly but the rebrand helped it so much and thats what ariana needs to do with rem.

      I'm not gonna lie, I was quite suprised that Ari created a make up line. Her perfumes were always great and pretty successful considering a lot of celebs kinda left the perfume space. I will say that I've tried the foundation and I really like the formula alot. The pricess thooo are a bit hefty for me to consistently drop money on it

    They’re definitely not sucking money out of anyone. Y’all don’t gotta buy any of the non necessity items.
