'I'm a Mess' singer Bebe Rexha said she's being 'punished' by the industry in a series of social media posts
Bebe Rexha attacked the music industry in a fiery series of X posts Tuesday.
Rexha, 34, first found success as a songwriter and has written hits for Eminem, Selena Gomez, Tyler Hubbard and Nick Jonas, to name a few. She's released three of her own studio albums, in addition to appearing on numerous chart-topping singles.
The "Say My Name" singer, who has been with Warner Records since the beginning of her career, claimed she could "bring down a BIG chunk of this industry" in a series of posts.

One fan suggested, "nobody should be forgiven for the time they took your name out of Hey Mama." Rexha simply responded, "My love. That? Compared to all the other stuff you don't know about? That's Child's play."
David Guetta's 2015 song, "Hey Mama," was co-written by Rexha, Guetta and a number of other people. While she was initially given a co-writer credit, she did not receive credit for vocals on the track, which also featured Nicki Minaj and Afrojack, a situation that's since been rectified.
