Over the past few days a rapper named Remy Ma attacked another rapper Nicki Minaj (I'm sure you've heard of Nicki before). In Hip Hop we have what you call "Diss Songs" that have been around for decades. For reference and perspective for those who don't understand hip hop culture, "Diss Songs" are part of Rap Battles. It's seen as a challenge and competition. In the song, Remy talked about Nicki having Butt Injections (Buttock Augmentation) and how it has negatively influenced other young women to do the same. She also talked about the dangers of Butt Injections and women even dying as a result of surgery complications.
This brings us to more serious issues outside of Rap Music or Entertainment as as whole. We are now talking about the very health and lives of young ladies (Oh, and older individuals as well...) who have these procedures for Hollywood employment and acceptance. Women already have various surgeries (Breast, Facial and Stomach) and now we're seeing even more extreme appearance changes. In many aspects of Entertainment, a "Big" or "Nice" butt is like having a very impressive resume. Women literally make money in the Entertainment Industry because of their butts and other physical features. This is why the gamble is worth it for many.
So.....
What are your thoughts in regard to medical procedures that aren't necessary and generally not recommended by many physicians. You can even look at the pain Kanye West continues to deal with in regard to the death of his mother. Ms. West died as the result of complications from liposuction and breast reduction operations. I'm only using her as a example because we have loved ones taking serious health risk all in the name of beauty. I tell you, the cost of fame and beauty at times is like Russian Roulette.
Thoughts?
