Brooke Candy, a rising talent in underground music, found it thrilling to team up with a celebrity from reality TV. However, the collaboration took an unfortunate turn when Brooke alleged that Erika Jayne, known for her role on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, allegedly elbowed her out of the limelight, claiming credit for their song Drip. This track eventually made its way into the award-winning independent film Anora.
In the vibrant music scene of Los Angeles, Candy, renowned for her collaborations with artists such as Charli XCX, Lizzo, Grimes, and Sia, asked Jayne to contribute the chorus for her 2019 album “Sexorcism”. Additionally, Candy successfully negotiated a deal for their song “Drip” to be included in the film “Anora”, which eventually won multiple Oscars. However, when “Anora” started gaining recognition and award nominations, the production company Neon unexpectedly invited Jayne to host a screening, without informing or involving Candy.
According to Candy, Jayne advertised the event as a celebration of her own song “Drip,” without giving credit to the original creator. It wasn’t until Candy spoke up that Jayne changed her post to mention Candy’s involvement. However, Candy points out that by then, the harm had already been done, as the song was automatically labeled as “Drip by Brooke Candy (feat. Erika Jayne)”.
The situation became more complicated when Jayne brought up the topic of the song during the reunion for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Although Jayne acknowledged her role as a featured artist, Candy felt let down because Jayne didn’t take advantage of a public platform to give her proper credit. Candy emphasized that independent artists frequently face challenges in receiving the recognition they deserve and stressed how challenging it can be for many to sustain themselves financially through their art without adequate acknowledgment.
Additionally, Candy gave a quick nod to the talented group responsible for crafting the tune on Drip – namely, Oscar Scheller, Ashnikko, Sega Bodega, and Jesse Saint John. She acknowledged their significant role in bringing the song to life.
Simultaneously, a reliable confidant of Jayne contended that Erika didn’t financially benefit from the project, covered her own costs, and found out about Anora using the song in the movie after its premiere. Furthermore, they justified Jayne’s role in hosting the screening by explaining that the invitations and guest list were entirely managed by Neon.
Meanwhile, Candy persists in supporting independent artists and seeking fair acknowledgement for their work. On the other hand, Jayne finds herself embroiled in public scandals, despite having successfully defended her name during her husband’s extensive fraud trial. As Candy carves out her unique journey, including joining OnlyFans to circumvent industry limitations, her experience underscores the challenges artists often face when striving for recognition.
