BB Rexha is no stranger to the music industry’s bright lights, but behind the glitz and glam, she’s faced a dark side that has left her both broken and determined. With a slew of hit songs and over a billion streams, you’d think her name would be on every red carpet, every award show, and in every headline. Instead, BB has been pushed into the background, often overlooked and silenced by an industry that took advantage of her immense talent without offering the recognition or respect she deserves. But now, BB Rexha is done staying quiet. She’s speaking out, exposing the toxic, manipulative, and downright creepy practices of the music world. From celebrity feuds and harrowing encounters with producers to the trauma she’s endured, BB is ready to take down the industry that’s tried to break her.
Celebrity Feuds: G-Eazy and the Silent Treatment
BB Rexha’s outspoken nature has caused her to clash with some big names, and her feud with rapper G-Eazy is one of the most public. In a Twitter rant, she called G-Eazy a “stuck-up ungrateful loser,” claiming that the song they collaborated on, Me, Myself & I, was the only reason he gained popularity. According to BB, G-Eazy’s treatment of her was less than stellar, even after she helped make the track a massive hit. She didn’t hold back, saying she could reveal all the shady things he did behind the scenes. For BB, it’s about standing up for herself and letting people know just how hard it’s been to get the recognition she deserves.
But G-Eazy isn’t the only celebrity BB has had to go to war with. Throughout her career, BB has been overshadowed and pushed aside in favor of other artists, and it’s something she’s finally calling out. While many people know her music—whether it’s her chart-topping hits like I’m Blue or her viral anthem Hey Mama—she’s still a relatively unknown face in the public eye. “If I were to stand on Hollywood Boulevard and ask, ‘Do you know who BB Rexha is?’ I feel like a lot of people wouldn’t know,” she said, a sentiment that highlights how the industry has failed to push her into stardom despite her undeniable talent.
Creepy Producers: A Dark Side to the Spotlight
BB’s struggles aren’t just limited to shady celebrity feuds. She’s also spoken out about unsettling experiences with powerful music producers. These encounters have ranged from feeling unsafe in studio environments to being manipulated by people who hold the keys to her career.
In one particularly disturbing instance, BB recounts how a producer put her in an uncomfortable position, trying to touch her inappropriately during a session. She describes a moment when this producer tried to massage her feet and then crossed boundaries by getting too close. Despite her clear discomfort, the producer insisted on continuing his behavior. BB, raised to protect her body at all costs, pulled away, but the episode left her shaken.
This wasn’t the only scary encounter for BB in the music industry. She also describes another situation where she felt her life was in danger. Alone in a studio with a producer and a group of men, she became terrified, suspecting something could go horribly wrong. In what she describes as “the worst night ever,” BB quietly called a taxi and escaped. She later learned of the producer’s troubled past, which made the encounter even more unsettling. These traumatic experiences have left a lasting impact on her, but they’ve also fueled her decision to expose the ugly truths behind the curtain of the music industry.
The Trauma of Body Shaming and Label Control
In addition to the disturbing encounters with industry insiders, BB Rexha has faced body shaming, which has taken a toll on her mental health. The entertainment world is notorious for its unrealistic standards, and BB Rexha has been no stranger to these pressures. She was told by her label early on that she needed to lose weight, even when she was already slim. The pressure was so intense that she resorted to extreme measures, like starving herself before filming music videos, just to fit the mold of what the industry demanded.
BB’s body became a topic of public scrutiny, particularly when she gained weight. Despite being diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), a condition that causes weight gain, BB was relentlessly criticized by fans, the media, and even her industry peers. When it came time for the Grammys, she struggled to find a designer who would dress her, as her body size didn’t fit into their narrow standards. “People are saying you’re too big to fit into their dresses. It broke my heart,” BB shared. “You’re saying all women in the world that are a size eight and up are not beautiful?” The experience left her feeling worthless and depressed, and she was vocal about how damaging this mentality is to women everywhere.
But BB has continued to fight back, rejecting the industry’s cruel standards and standing tall in her truth. She has always made it clear that she will not conform to the body image ideals forced on women in entertainment. “I’m not mad about it because it’s true,” she said about her weight gain, but she added, “It just sucks when people don’t know what you’re going through.”
Mental Health Struggles and the Strain of Fame
As if the body shaming and industry manipulation weren’t enough, BB Rexha has also been open about her struggles with mental health, particularly anxiety and depression. She’s always been vocal about using her music as an outlet for her feelings, which hasn’t always been appreciated by her record label. When she first began writing the song Monster (which was later turned into a global hit by Eminem and Rihanna), her label warned her against expressing her inner turmoil. They told her it was too dark, too raw, and would turn listeners off. But BB pushed forward, and Monster became one of her biggest accomplishments. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most vulnerable art comes from the deepest pain, and BB’s willingness to confront her struggles has touched countless fans.
Unfortunately, the industry’s pressure to conform extends to mental health as well. BB has faced harsh criticism for being open about her feelings, with some suggesting that her honesty could scare away fans. But for BB, it’s essential to be true to herself, even if it means taking the harder path. She has found strength in her fans, many of whom have thanked her for being a voice for those who feel alone in their battles with mental health.
Standing Up for Herself: A New Chapter
BB Rexha has had enough. No longer willing to stay quiet and let the industry continue to manipulate her, she’s now using her platform to speak out. Her recent social media posts have been a declaration of independence, letting the world know she’s done being silenced. She’s standing up for herself, for her fellow artists, and for anyone who has been mistreated by the music industry.
“I could bring down a big chunk of this industry,” BB wrote. It’s clear she’s not afraid to take on the giants that have tried to suppress her. Whether it’s shady producers, corrupt record labels, or celebrity feuds, BB is done hiding in the shadows.
And the truth is, BB Rexha is a force to be reckoned with. With countless hits, millions of streams, and a voice that resonates with so many, she’s shown time and again that she’s not going anywhere. Her authenticity, talent, and bravery are what make her an icon—and it’s only a matter of time before the world finally gives her the recognition she’s fought so hard for.
BB’s journey is far from over, and we can’t wait to see where she goes next. No matter what the industry throws at her, one thing is certain: BB Rexha will continue to expose the truth and fight for the respect she deserves.
