This Twitter Thread Perfectly Breaks Down How White Pop Stars Use Black Artists


It wasn’t but four years ago that Disney Channel child star-turned-industry-singer Miley Cyrus was jamming and twerking out next to rap’s super-producer Mike-WiLL-Made-It on the club hopping single “23.”
Popping mollys, blazing blunts and rubbing elbows with hip-hop was the buzz of Miley town for awhile and we witnessed it by way of several collaborations and stage performances. Now that rap music has “pushed her away” due to what she dubbed its vulgar nature, the former Hannah Montana actress has decided to return to her pop and country music roots. But many couldn’t help but to notice how opportune the career transformation was for Miley. After much deliberation, however, her latest move comes as no surprise to one person who’s seen it all from white pop stars such as Miley before.
And it’s now been broken down in a practical, well-reasoned series of 140-characters for the rest of the world to digest as well.
