Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald recently covered the MTV Awards and Australia Fashion Week, which caused millions of famous people to descend on the smallest continent. Most of the first half of the article talks annoyingly about entourages and which rappers had the biggest posse following them around. 50 Cent had 20 people with him, for example. But here’s what the article had to say about paw-print-tattooed rapper Eve:
Female rapper Eve appears to be on a budget, opting to travel here with only her manager, her bodyguard and personal assistant, a small posse she refers to as her “family.”
Um, really, guys? It seems you’re missing the point. We should be commending celebrities who don’t need a well-paid army of soothsayers to shield them from the world at all times, not snarking on them for paying uneccessary money for friends. It’s great that Eve a) might be choosing to spend her fortune on more practical things and b) is reducing the size of her herd. Maybe she’ll be able to someday go out in public alone, thus setting a precedent for all rappers. We can only dream of this future, and the last thing we need is the Sydney Morning Herald doing its part to set back the cause of the un-posse.
