Fun fact: RCA didn’t want to do a music video for Normani. so Normani spent over 2 million dollars out of her own pocket for this video to be done.

Nah RCA gave her a smaller budget for the video and the vision she had for the MV called for more money than they provided so she spent like a million dollars to bring her ideas to life and have a greater video

Another fun fact, Cardi B let Normani use or team and they came up with the concept/visual which is why Cardi B was upset when less than 2days after the release Normani said who should be on the next remix Cardi B said well remove me from the song. If she wanted to do a remix where was she gonna get help. A lot of artists won't let you use their people but Cardi B did.

Normani is a naturally sexy woman. Normani is a dancer so she has to wear clothes that shows her dance moves the way she wants them to. In this industry nowadays.. yes sex sells and to have ppl look at your videos , you may have to show a little skin. But Normani has always been proud of her natural figure, she’s never had surgery to look the way that the girls in the industry are looking. She’s a trained dancer & gymnast . Lol she didn’t have to wear a lot of clothing growing up doing that so why should she change that now bc of the way the industry is ?

@@LuckyOuijaBoy17 She was honestly looking out for Normani. Bc let’s be clear, Cardi did more for Normani promotion wise with this single, than her tired label did.

Cardi B asked to be in the song one because she's a huge fan of normani's artistry and also because within the industry there are a lot of people who are trying to make sure normani doesn't make it so cardi wanted to make sure normani did really good numbers on this song. Thank you guys for the reaction

YESSS!! you’re the only reaction-ers who pointed out the janet/rhythm nation influence in the all black scene! janet is one of normani’s influences for sure, ever since mani performed a tribute for her in 2018 they’ve met multiple times + janet even posted her on her instagram account and told her that she is proud of her and loves her.

I always see Janet in the pose where Norman’s siting with her hand above her head above her head. That pose in the beginning of the red room is straight of a Janet video, just like the bopping head at the end is straight from Aaliyah.

The truth about Cardi B is that Cardi and Normani are actually friends and Normani assisted in Cardi B Wap video and Cardi heard Normani track and offered to be on it and Normani took the offer to work with her friend …. I don’t think Cardi part was needed but it was two friends doing a collab React to Normani motivation

Normani is not getting the rec she deserves so!!!!!

Normani also song with Sam Smith" Dancing with a Stranger" and Khalid "No Lies" . She was also in the group called Fifth Harmony.

cardi actually heard the song and jumped on it last minute. normani was okay with her on it bc this song is meant to be her “grown woman” song. she’s usually chill and uses innuendo when it comes to sexual songs so she liked the juxtaposition between her more subtle lyrics and cardi’s straightforward wordplay.

The beat is sampled from Aaliyah's One in a million,its supossed to have a 90s RnB vibe similiar to how TLC,Aaliyah and Destinys child were in the in the 90s prime of Hip HopR&B and dance music(notice the locations and dance formations as well). Hope that helps Im mixed race black and hispanic also gay and grew up with legends like that so might have a cultural advantage there haha.

Word

The age of MTv (late 90s on) changed pop music so that pop stars had to look a certain way to be successful. To the detriment of the genre, in my opinion. I'm sure we all missed out on some phenomenal artistry because they weren't "TV friendly". The age of KZread and artist promoting their own work on line is starting to slowly reverse this. Talented artists are garnering large followings online, regardless of whether they fit a narrow cookie cutter attractiveness, but this bias still exists. Normani is one of the most talented performers in the business, but has had trouble getting industry support and publicity, in my opinion because she is not a light-skinned woman. But not for internet fans, Normani probably would have never gotten her slot on the VMAs and she had the best performance of the night.
