Ye's Return To Festivals, Diva Extinction & The Girlification of 'Betting'

Ye's Return To Festivals, Diva Extinction & The Girlification of 'Betting'

Hey EICrumpets,


This week Wireless Festival announced that all three days would feature Ye as their headline off the back of his 12th studio album Bully. Ye was blocked from entering Australia last year after releasing the song ‘Heil Hitler’, and declared himself a Nazi around 2022, going on many X rants saying countless antisemitic things. We ask why now, and why are such comebacks easily dished out to men?


Are the divas in for the same fate of dodos? Pop culture writer Louis Staples argues so. In a piece for Harper's, he says we're witnessing the extinction of divas in real-time.


Women are the target for predictive market apps – platforms that sees users betting on everything from war, to Taylor Swift's wedding. Social accounts like @Polybaddies on X and @Kalshigirls have their eyes on young women through memes on matcha and starter packs. Why? Owners say they want women to be benefitting from the financial gains available to men, but is this really true?


THANK YOU Cue Podcasts.


And thank YOU for listening <3 We'd love to hear your thoughts in the Spotify comments or in our DMs xoxo O,R,B
