Bugie revealed that many male artists often seek more than just a professional relationship, which complicates collaboration efforts. “When I decline their advances, it can lead to personal tension,” she shared, highlighting how this dynamic can create barriers for female artists looking to build genuine connections in the industry.
Additionally, Bugie addressed a troubling trend where some male musicians expect sexual relationships as a condition for collaboration. She believes this expectation places undue pressure on female artists and hinders their ability to work freely and creatively. “It’s essential for women in this industry to remain patient and focused on their careers,” she advised.Despite facing significant challenges—including a recent incident where a private video of her was leaked—Bugie remains resolute in her ambitions. She encourages aspiring female musicians to be financially and mentally prepared to resist pressures that could compromise their integrity and artistic vision.
