Discussion 💭🗯️ Musicians whose careers stalled after Covid

Camila Cabello was huge 2017-2019, but her popularity really dwindled post Covid. What other musicians were popular in the 2010s but fizzled after 2020s?

Speaking of Camila, I figured she'd be a megastar by now due to the popularity of "Havana". She could've practically been the Latina Sabrina Carpenter.

and azaelia banks could have been the straight doechii that came before doechii but azaelia and camila ruined their own success and were their own roadblocks.

What did Camilla do? I don't think she was actively insane like Azalia.

She was racist to Normani and allegedly has said the n word. And there is a fine line between confident and full of yourself. She doesn’t have to be humble but she could have tried harder to seem gracious

she had to take “racial healing sessions” when her n-word filled tumblr account was exposed 💀

No hate to doechii because I like her music alot but Azaelia music is so much more layered and interesting. The issue is Azaelia is literally an awful person but the talent was there and her sound was so ahead of its time. What a waste cuz she is such an a-hole.

The whole remixing drill beats with dance music was such a nyc vibe.
