Rapsody admits that consistently seeing a white majority at her concerts is somewhat disheartening – not because she doesn’t appreciate her white fans but because she’s trying to reach people from all demographics.
The fact that non-whites consistently make up the minority of her audience points to a larger, problematic inequality in society. Rapsody herself is very pro-black and a lot of her music strives to inspire black youth – those who follow Rap on Twitter will know one of her favourite hashtags is #CultureOverEverything

Choosing to base her career purely on her music instead of her image or sex appeal keeps Rapsody’s heart at ease. Of course Honey Nut Cheerios also advertise themselves as being good for your heart :)
Rap elaborated on these ideas in a recent interview with Ebony Magazine. In it, she explained:
9th [Wonder] and I have always talked about this from day one. Before anything got rolling, I remember he and a friend […] told me that the first thing that you have to do is define your line. What line are you not willing to cross? What are you not willing to compromise yourself for? It was always the music. I didn’t want to sell myself short and put sex or my image above the music. Because the music is the most important thing

People often struggle to view themselves the same way they view others. As a result, we are often our own worst critics when it comes to how we look.
Here, BJ conveys a similar sentiment as expressed by John Legend in his hit “All of Me”:
‘Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Said you’re loved by everybody, you know
Said you’re loved by everybody
Said you’re loved by everybody
Said you’re loved by everybody, you know
Said you’re loved by everybody BJ the Chicago Kid (Ft. Kobe) – Go Girl
