To an extent. It can be negotiated as to where the money comes from. Depending on the size of the artist they could be on the hook for half or nothing. If they have a branding partner or 5 then, they pay nothing. There are people that work at the label's whose whole job is to get those partnerships for all these events. But like I said that's on the music side. As far as artists complaining about paying for the show and not getting a sales bump, possibly, but then their project was probably already in trouble because a label generally won't pay to lose.

I hear you but maybe it needs to change now. Can’t blame a sister for asking for something when all them honkies getting paid off her ass. She big enough now that she don’t need them to push her along. Just my opinion though. I’m a performer who gets paid to perform but you want it for free? All FREE? Nah, they wanted it to be one way...
That all should be inclusive I agree. But they will do things to minimize a rising star (That's not one of them) just to label them. "She's black and difficult to work with."I can see some exec saying do we really want her?
None of that is her fault but they'll look to label her anyway. Its the games they play. I'm really hoping she wasn't the one who made this public knowledge.
Truth is there should be no award night. Hundreds gathered to sit in an arena for hours. But before that, we've got meet and greets, photo ops, the hours of awards, performances then after all that after award parties.
the "unaware" is the president of the organization. Do you think that after that public apology any celeb asked after tiffany is gonna do it for no accommodations? Or do you think a precedent has been set?
I have to say its NOT about her getting paid its about the accommodations for her time and presence....
You said your a performer...if an NFP organization asked you to perform for them but they can't pay you and your ok with that but then that tell you oh nd you have to drive yourself, provide your own make up (if necessary) and eat before you get here... so they ain't picking up, providing dressing room prep help and no food...you just show up dressed and prepped and ready to rock on your own and thank you very much...
BUT the exposure can boost you (you're already well established).....are you still doing the gig??
Big biz tends to find the right people to always go with the plan.. so when 1 won’t do it 5 others will.. I can see them finding a hungrier person willing to do it for future
Always a hungrier person willing to do it.. so they probably will find them.. throw them 1 of them 30,000 dollar gift bags that shut them up
well the media fucked up by reporting she was complaining about not getting paid when she was complaining about not getting any basic accommodations for doing it. Those are 2 different things. If the question is have previous people ever been PAID to host the pre show and work the red carpet the answer they've said is NO...if the question is have previous people had to provide their own basic accommodations like hair and make up etc to host the preshow and work the red carpet the answer is we don't know because no one else has chimed in and said they did it and got no accommodations.
If a past celeb says I worked it and no they didn't give me shit to do it...then she's wrong
But if a past celeb says I worked it before but they gave me hair and makeup and what not...then some bullshit was up.
I have a hard time believing ellen and Chris rock drove themselves and paid for their own hair and makeup especially when those things for the host are unsung duties...the most any host is going to get is exposure for their outfit..ain't nobody askin who did your hair and makeup. So that's totally coming out your pocket at your expense and it ain't cheap to do that shit for a high profile event youre NOT getting paid to work.
First off she was a pre-host.. not the same level as starring as the main host..Ellen and Chris rock was the main..so main prob got preferable treatment as far as hair and makeup being that it was the top gig.. the pre-host is a secondary position and prob dosent get the same treatment.. notice nobody who played that role is coming out saying they had all that giving to them... like I said if you know the inner workings of entertainment ull be surprised on what they don’t receive and make..people assume they making a lot of money or giving red carpet treatment at certain gigs but they don’t.. many front cover appearances, performances, Hostings they get paid nothing.. notice you are under the assumption she was supposed to receive certain things but it’s not the case.. notice most pre-host use to be random acts happy to get that spot lite .. some were just pretty faces wanting shine, some were up and commers, some new the politics and followed them hoping for network opportunities and things to boast about on their resume... like I said 30,000 gift bag, networking, FaceTime, free food, after parties... next yr they’ll be like fuck that let’s holla at that dude big jah from them YouTube clips he’s funny and will appreciate the spotlite to plug his channel and get these free gifts.. that’s how big biz works
You talking about The Kouncil? She'd be funny as shit as host. Jess goofy ass would fumble that bag too trying to be faux edgy.
