In the entertainment world if you don’t stay relevant people forget you, and if they forget you, you have no power as a public figure. It’s important to make people believe that you are relevant with any kind of scandal that happens and that has come to music, in this specific case, the case of Little Mix and Leigh-Anne Pinnock speaks ill of Little Mix just days after her debut as a solo artist.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock revealed just days after her solo debut, that she felt too “frustrated, sad and angry” to be ignored by the pop industry, the artist also added that she was undervalued in her early stages in Litte Mix. The 31-year-old singer made the big leap to fame when she entered the girl group created in 2011’s X Factor.
However, it wasn’t all rosy for Anne, as she felt “ignored” by a significant portion of her “predominantly white” fandom and the pop industry in general.
In an interview with Vogue, Leigh-Anne Pinnock confessed that in her view, the pop industry is very white, “We had a predominantly white fan base. It took me a long time to understand why I felt so undervalued. I blamed myself. Expressed the singer to the entertainment media.
“‘Don’t Say Love’ is a song that talks about truly wanting to be loved, and the self-love that a person can feel for themselves, if it’s not that, then I don’t want it. Getting to that stage is quite a journey,” Anne explained.
