Cher Lloyd says she was urged to seduce Justin Bieber | Music News

Singer Cher Lloyd has made some sudden claims about her early profession that contain fellow artists Justin Bieber.

Lloyd appeared on The X Factor in 2010, the identical season as One Direction, and rapidly rose to worldwide fame, releasing two hit albums and even making it to the Top 10 within the US together with her hit Want U Back.

However, regardless of her success on the time, Lloyd claims issues weren’t really easy behind the scenes and have been truly fairly darkish.

Discussing her expertise with sexism within the industry on the We Need To Talk podcast, Lloyd alleged that she was not given a promotional finances for her album and that her file label urged her to attempt to “hook up” with Justin Bieber to put it up for sale as an alternative.

She mentioned: “We spent millions on this album but there’s no budget to get people to go hear it. I walk in and I say, ‘Look, I really need some cash to try and push this record.’

Elsewhere in the interview, she claimed that she was told to keep her marriage a secret for the sake of her career.

She said: “Me and Craig have been about to get married and I was advised by people on my staff, ‘Do not let the label know as a result of they may do something to stop this marriage.'”

She continued: “The manner that they considered me getting married is as soon as I’m married I’m “off the market”. I hate that. I’m not a singer as a result of I need to sleep round and I need to be in several celeb relationships.”

Fans mentioned the singer’s feedback about her file label on a Reddit discussion board, with one fan writing: “Welp that is disgusting. These poor younger girls. I’m glad she had it in her to say no manner, however think about how many people would not have that sort of spirit, since ladies are socialized to do what different people need first and take care of themselves final.”

A second added: “Just a reminder to you all that for each horror story in Hollywood, there are a hundred within the music industry. It is insanely predatory at each degree, and probably the most insane issues are utterly normalised.”

On X, formerly Twitter, one fan fumed: “Sickens me to see additional artists undergo what Little Mix went by with being advised to flirt with people so as to promote their albums.

“Cher Lloyd has spoken about this matter and I imagine theres a load more artists that were signed to S*co that suffered the same treatment.”

A second raged: “i knew it.. cher lloyd was and still is such talented singer who was ROBBED by the industry.”

Yet one other added: “Fairplay to Cher Lloyd for coming out and saying this publicly. Must have been an awful thing to go through at that age.”
