"Fancy" appealed to white murica. That was your buying force. And you had zero competition in THAT lane. You're already white, so no need to skin bleach, to wear wigs, or to work harder than your average to get through to music gate keepers. A less black washed persona and you would've become rap's Taylor Swift. Even Whitney appealed, and sold the most, to whitey. White majority = more buying power = more sales. DUHHH. #KnowUrAudience #KnowUrPrivilege
