Wow! Good one! Brave one! Caused me to have many thoughts: I believe there is something violent about bringing a child who has no sense of themselves yet, no matter what they say they want, onto a global stage, where predators lurk, looking for the next superstar to anoint. Blue Ivy was on a stage when she was in the womb. As a toddler. Now, as a pubescent girl. North TikToking. Filtered coquettishly by mother and aunt. Recording tracks with her father before she knows who she is or wants to be. And can any nepo baby ever know that outside the circus? Nah. I’m glad you brought up Joe Jackson. It's delicate how you did it, but it’s the correct reference point, imo, though I’m not pointing fingers. Also, MJ’s “childlike” nature always hides something more sinister for me. “Childlike” men always give me pause, no matter how twisted and horrifying their raring. Anyway, I’m curious: what part of Blackness is enough for everyone?

Incredibly put. Thank you for writing.
As always, beautiful and no misses. Thank you.
damn thank you
Traditionally, castrati had their balls cut. At least Joe spared Michael from that.
Wow. (Btw, the link to your article is broken, just needs one more canopy in the url)
Amazing insight. That pic from the Demon Ye was also compelling. I hate what has happened to him.
