So sad, she is oppressed. Too bad--she did it to herself, because no one on Earth stopped her from doing anything. She and LeBron should get a grip and try living in the real world on actual wages paid by a company.
This. People don't understand that most "famous" people's lives are pretty much rented unless they tour like crazy and make investments.
Because the record company literally puts them in indentured servitude. You're signed. Great! Here's your advance. Seems like a lot of money! But all costs for everything -- your recording time, musicians, producer fees, then artwork and promotional material, video costs, and you now have to hope you sell enough records to cover THAT cost.
Well, time to make your actual cash: touring! Only that's all on your dime too. In fact, you are a medium-sized business at this point, now paying against door take and hoping you make a profit at end of tour.
Long story short: Lizzo is paying for her entire image and if she isn't smart will be enjoying, if not a fast food gig, than a grueling one that involves touring to pay off debts or keep her head above water. And that's a special kind of hell on earth.

Yup, that about sums it up, tour or starve, your choice.
Only way that fat tub is going to starve.
