You aint wrong but i remember how they KILLED Hammer for the kfc commercial toys and cartoon...
And look now?
We got rappers with vape pens marijuana strains fruit flavored liquors dildos fast food restaurants (not healthy at all) ugly over priced child labor made sneakers
I could easily go on..
Yeah this is wrong
But if Beyonce had a limited edition Tabasco texas hot sauce when her lemonade album dropped?
She would have been called a marketing genius and made millions.
Beyoncé is a brand. Just like Bron, Drake, Rhi Rhi, and so forth. There is a reason why they stuck to particular things. The things you do is associated with your branding.
I got your point though. She can do and advertise however, but it all adds on to her brand. It can continue to build over time until a person have created a brand that doesn’t really represent them or leaves a bad stigma.
