CelebNMusic247.com reports that Halsey was “Brutally honest, outspoken and fearless” when revealing a new piece of poetry focusing on inequality for women.
Halsey revealed her new poem at Glamour’s 2018 Women of the Year Summit.
The poem reads as follows:
Brutally honest, outspoken and fearless / Goes with their gut, never favors appearance / ‘Cause who has time for vanity with opponents to extinguish? / And don’t you think that hint of the silver hairline is…distinguished? / In men? All these qualities, they make you a genius. / But if you’re a woman, you’re an inconvenience …
…So, if you’re offended, and viewing at home / I’m here to say that I’m not sorry / For being… inconvenient. / You were not put on this earth to make everybody else’s life easier./ So please, be inconvenient.
In addition to her new poem, Halsey sets the record straight to everyone in the media, she hates being called a pop star.
She said:
Kendrick [Lamar] has done a Maroon 5 feature, a Taylor Swift feature and a Sia feature – which is more pop features than I’ve done. And no one’s calling him a pop star. But I’m being called one, even though I’m inherently an alternative artist. I don’t know if it’s a male thing, I don’t know if it’s an urban thing. I don’t know what it is. But if you’re a female alternative artist and you do anything that’s even slightly pop leaning, it’s condemning.
Over the weekend, Halsey performed with Lil Wayne on SNL:
