Charli XCX, like many women in the music industry, works very hard and she is tired of being underestimated.

i am an artist, a songwriter who’s co written multiple “hits” for myself/other artists, a video director, exec producer of a netflix show, a&r, i run a label, co manage 2 artists.. if I was a man I’d be hailed as some sort of music industry god but as a woman I’m just - doubted??

btw i don’t need people to feel sorry for me or anything - i’m just saying it how it is. women in this industry are constantly questioned on their validity... “did she REALLY write that?” “can she REALLY produce?” “does she REALLY know what she’s doing?” i see it all the time.

any and all female popstars in 2019 are obviously business women: running their own careers, making their own decisions, directing their own teams, proving points, being groundbreaking and making their own art. like, this is SO OBVIOUS. don’t insult us.
