Bebe Rexha discusses her new project 'Better Mistakes' and her journey toward body positivity, highlighting the struggle with self-image and the impact of online bullying. She shares insights into her creative process, contrasting hip-hop and pop music sessions, and emphasizes the importance of therapy and self-acceptance in navigating fame and relationships.
Key takeaways 5
Body Positivity Advocacy: Rexha launched the '#everybodyisbeautiful' campaign to promote self-acceptance, sharing vulnerable content like a leotard photo despite facing severe criticism (being called a 'cow') in certain cultures.
Creative Process Differences: Hip-hop sessions are described as vibe-driven, spontaneous, and confidence-based ('do it and don't overthink'), whereas pop sessions are more structured, technical, and perfection-oriented.
Mental Health Importance: Rexha credits therapy with helping her manage insecurities and relationship sabotage, noting that she previously couldn't afford it regularly but now values it highly.
Industry Authenticity: There is a growing demand for authenticity in entertainment, with fans resonating more with real, unfiltered content than manufactured perfection.
Collaboration Dynamics: Working with female artists like Doja Cat provides a different, low-drama energy compared to male-dominated hip-hop sessions, though Rexha appreciates the confidence she learned from male collaborators.
