[Reddit] BG Note: This blind item was posted on a public board by someone claiming to have been involved with famous musician. They posted their story in response to the question, “Redditors who know truly horrible people, how do they appear to the general public?” We have no way of validating the veracity of their statement.
I don’t associate with him anymore, but I was involved with a musician who basically groomed me from the time I was 18.
He was verbally, emotionally, and sexually abusive.
Almost everyone he knew, he had something bad to say about them, and he would play at friendship to reap the rewards of whatever they could offer. He’s purposefully pick fights with lesser talent just to watch the drama unfold, and would demonize people who disagreed with him or dared to call him less than perfect.
His best friend was beaten down as much as I was, and he used said best friend for free everything. I remember once trying to stick up for him and that didn’t end pretty.
However, his public persona is charming as f*ck. He’s outgoing, he’s fun, he knows how to build people up, he’s high energy. He’s built up this reputation as being this hyper-inclusive voice of the underdog and I’ve read people’s testimony crediting him with their own self improvement.
I sometimes wish I could tell his fans that he literally does not give an iota of a sh*t about them. All he cares about is their money and loyalty because he needs the ego boost, and if a single one of them stepped out of line he’d drop them like a sack of sh*t.
Sometimes, I’ll get one of his songs on a playlist or a remix or something and I seriously feel nauseous. I can’t believe he’s got away with everything he’s done.

[Optional] Did you think he was a good person?

Serj from SOAD? God, I hope not, but he sometimes sounds “hollier than God” and that’s always suspicious.

Musician: Logic, I’ve heard and seen people say this about him a lot – “He’s outgoing, he’s fun, he knows how to build people up, he’s high energy. He’s built up this reputation as being this hyper-inclusive voice of the underdog and I’ve read people’s testimony crediting him with their own self improvement.”
hbartma2 says
as much as it breaks my heart, i’m thinking maybe chance the rapper
breadpitt says
Musician: DRAKE!!!
[Optional] He’s always being so freakin shady tho. The way he acted towards Rihanna really makes me think he’s really like to put people on the spot so they don’t have time to retaliate plus he likes his women young!!! CREEP ALERT

Just a guess – Louis Tomlinson? I know he has a same on/off girlfriend for years, but lots of things fit – he talked about himself that he’s an underdog, always started fights on twitter with other musicians and journalists, has very devoted fanbase, during his 1D days he (and Liam Payne) used to mock Harry Styles in interviews even when Harry was his best friend. And his solo songs have several remixes, which would fit too.
matildablu says
I really hope this isn’t Harry Styles…
CanaryCry says
Dave Grohl?
Bruce Springsteen?
Jon Bon Jovi?
Adam Levine?
Sting?
Anthony Kiedis?
Billie Joe Armstrong?
Some British indie man?

Ryan Adams?
carneguisada says
first comment longtime reader, it sounds like Chance the Rapper although truly hope it’s not him 🙁
susiQ22R says
Well, of course this sounds like R. Kelly.
figossip says
Morrissey
No idea if he is a nice person. I believe he is a difficult person but that’s not the same
isthisseattaken says
R Kelly
anapetro says
The flowers made me guess Harry Styles, but I truly wish it’s not about him
YoGo8c says
The flowers are meaningless. That picture was put there by BG. BG also states it cannot verify the authenticity of that account, much mess know who it is.
mellekweller says
Could it be Ryan Adams? Although hes know for being a douchebag
Ramblingirl says
I feel like this is Elton John…mostly because of the outgoing, inclusive bit and the public persona of charm. Everyone loves Elton, right?? Maybe not.
Pebbles and BamBam says
Musician: this sounds like it could be Diddy. He was involved with Cassie since she was teen, and I’ve heard stories about the abuse…
[Optional] Did you think he was a good person? If it IS Diddy, NO never thought dude was a good person, even with all his “Brother Love” and NFL protest bull shit. He’s probably pathological, a true psychopath (they aren’t all inclined to murder). Cassie should’ve moved on years ago.
zillyzallie says
John Legend
Sassymom says
John Mellenkamp comes to mind. His songs are for the voice of the underdog. So is Springsteen…
cally2 says
I can think of at least three musicians this could describe. Would help to know if the OP is male or female.
pancakephanny says
R. Kelly?
kelseykkm says
Drake?

Lady Karma will eventually come to call. He’s going to do this to the wrong people who will take him down. You can relax. Justice will come, but it might take a while. Look at Bill Cosby.
