The SBA’s SVOG grants were intended for struggling small artists. But big stars like Post Malone and Chris Brown got $200M in pandemic relief funds.
Considering Chris Brown should be in jail, the fact that he got anything is disgusting.
KoRn being on there as well as slipknot was unexpected, but Post Malone is surprising because i always read what a nice person he is. Nice people don’t receive taxpayer money they don’t need. This article made the program read like thinly veiled wealth redistribution from the needy to the already incredibly rich. Helping a few of those honestly in need being incidental. Sigh.
The truth is none of these people “did” anything. They have managers and teams of folks who handle their livelihoods in their name. I bet the majority of artists named by the article are just finding out about it today.
So no, Posty probably didn’t have anything personally to do with this, but he caught the check. Same with Chris Brown and the rest.
Was about to say that while I don’t listen to posty… he seemed like a genuinely cool dude and was worried he’s gonna be one of those too good to be true sort of deals
Oh this editor knew what the hell they were doing here.
“Nevermind who did what, we can mention two of the most reviled acts of modern times in a negative light? Print it.”
For the record, this also involved Post Malone, Melissa Ethridge, Smashing Pumpkins, and many many others. But let’s focus of the two names that inspire the most hate.
also feels ugly to lump Nickelback and Chris Brown together? Unless I missed the news where Chad was a woman-beater.
I thought Nickelback was Canadian?
