Amid speculation as to whether DaBaby has been blackballed, which many believe is evident in the low sales of his latest project, "Handsomer" artist Russ stepped into the conversation.
Russ, who has been very vocal about the benefits of being an independent artist, and who also started his own artist-friendly label "DIEMON," believes that no artist can be blackballed. In a post on his Instagram Stories, Russ wrote, "No artist is 'blackballed' Unless they cut off your Wi-Fi, remove your social media accounts and take your music off all the streaming platforms, you are not blackballed."
Russ continued, "If you are famous and can still tell your fans 'hey I'm putting out music' then you're not blackballed. Fans will listen to your music or they won't. Also if you are a famous artist and you NEED playlists in order for people to listen to your music, how real are your fans? Why don't they support you regardless?"
