MindyHOST
Melanie Fiona, she did a little rant on TikTok recently, which I think sheds a really great light on this issue.

MindyHOST

Friday Ricky DredHOST
i will say this though right and and respect to the promoters and stuff like that but there has been like problems with ticket sales these days when it comes to stuff um like a lot of these festivals you know they don't sell as much as they're projected to sell and they're like rather than take the l let's move this until we might have a better time i I have a clip from Melanie Fiona, right? The queen, Melanie Fiona.
Friday Ricky DredHOST
And she, you know, remember the last time we played a clip from her, she was like exposing things that were happening in the industry from her perspective.
Friday Ricky DredHOST
What was the last thing she exposed? She said...
Constance CarterHOST
But from your point, it is very, very hip hop because it was built on that foundation of having all those celebrities.
Constance CarterHOST
And then Boyce also said like, you know, Breakfast Club, initially, and you know, Melanie Fiona said that this morning too, not this morning, maybe it was yesterday, but she on Hollywood Unlocked, she said, you think that these celebrities got money when they be on the Breakfast Club and they be doing all this media? They gotta pay for that shit.
Constance CarterHOST
You got to pay to play.
Constance CarterHOST
So getting on the Breakfast Club and getting on all these podcasts, you got to actually pay to be on there to really promote your stuff.
Curtiss KingHOST
Matter of fact, to that point, I love the fact that this video went viral at the same time.
Curtiss KingHOST
Shout out to Grammy award-winning singer, Melanie Fiona.
Curtiss KingHOST
She sends a message about the importance of supporting artists as she reveals the hidden costs for an artist to appear on television, AKA be famous, and says it costs to be on TV, revealing that it comes out of an artist's budget, which they have to pay back, whether they're signed to a major label or independent.
Curtiss KingHOST
Say it ain't so.
KempireHOST
Maybe for me it's sorta like I hate the fact that you can sell out a- around the world, and there's people that can actually sing their face off that can't even have that opportunity.
KempireHOST
I just saw that Melanie Fiona, Grammy-winning singer and songwriter Melanie Fiona, did a video talking about, you know when you see your favorite artist go on these TV shows to perform? It actually costs them money to go and perform.
KempireHOST
It costs them maybe, on the cheap end, $20,000 just to go perform.
KempireHOST
They're not getting paid for that performance.
Friday Ricky DredHOST
