FKA Twigs on fame: 'People want to shame you, not celebrate your talent'

FKA Twigs has revealed that fame definitely isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Chatting to Elle magazine for its August issue, the singer admitted that being a celebrity is a strange experience because you're constantly scrutinised: "Being in the public eye is so weird. People want to shame you. It's not a celebration of a talent."

She also talked about her fans during the interview and explained that she doesn't like that term, and instead prefers to call them “people who like my music” or “people interested in me as an artist”: "They don’t influence what I make, but they have a role in us all coming together and creating something genuine.”

Back in April, she told Allure magazine that artists nowadays are mostly used as vessels to make money: “Imagine if you were an artist that wasn’t being herself. Imagine you’re an artist that didn’t know how to do your own makeup, didn’t know how to do your own hair, didn’t know how to put an outfit together, didn’t write your own music, didn’t direct your own videos, didn’t produce your own music. They’re not artists. They’re vehicles, vessels. The majority of them are like that. Imagine how hard that must be.”
