R&B legend India Arie is speaking out on what she sees as a damaging trend in music today – where Black women are forced to over s*xualize themselves to sell music.

India blasted some of the biggest Black artists – she wrote, “When we as a culture make something like this [th*t culture] mainstream, it shows a lack of discretion and discernment.”
She added, “Does everything belong on stage.”
