“I could bring down a BIG chunk of this industry,” Bebe wrote in a heated post on X (formerly Twitter). “I AM frustrated. I Have been UNDERMINED. I’ve been so quiet for the longest time. I haven’t seen the signs even though people constantly are bringing them up and they have been SO OBVIOUS.”
She continued, writing, “And when I have spoken up I’ve been silence and PUNISHED by this industry Things must change or I’m telling ALL of my truths. The good the bad and the ugly.”
In follow-up messages, Bebe told fans that they had “NO IDEA” about what she’s experienced, saying that they’ve only heard “5 percent” of her experience.
Another fan mentioned that her name had been removed from the song “Hey Mama,” which Bebe said was “child’s play” compared to the other things that have happened to her.
Bebe told another fan that artists are punished for speaking out.
“This is not just coming from a place of anger. It’s sadness. I’m sitting in my hotel room in London Crying my eyes out. I’ve felt hopeless for the longest time,” she wrote in another post. “I’ve been walking a lot through this city and meeting fans and they have really ignited something inside of me.”
She credited her fans for giving her the strength to keep going.
In a final post on the topic, Bebe thanked everyone for their support and mentioned how people could support her.
“Thank you to everyone checking up on me. I’m working through these issues and fighting for what I deserve. Many news outlets have asked for an interview. If you want to write about me please support my new music. Thank you again. Love you. ????????,” she wrote.
Last month, Bebe slammed one of her former collaborators and said that she had dirt on them.
