Are they Sincere or Just Jumping on The Bandwagon
 Every black female celebrity who has ever suffered some degree of abuse or loathe the idea of a woman being abused is coming out with something to help promote their new projects against it.
Mya who has been lost in the dark for sometime recently did an interview about a song called “Blackout” of her upcoming album. Here is a snippet of the interview:
What inspired you?
I was inspired by two different incidents involving two of my female friends. I remember being disgusted, angry, outraged, sad, sympathetic, and fearful of what I would’ve done if I were in their shoes. I’m still pissed from it and even more pissed that they are back with these guys. But those are my girls and I love ‘em for life. I just seriously hope there’s not a next time.
What did you think when you first heard of the Chris and Rihanna situation?
I honestly didn’t believe it when I first heard of the situation. I assumed it was another outrageous, untrue rumor from an illegitimate gossip site.
Did you immediately want to drop your track?
I have so many songs I’ve written [that] it didn’t even come to mind until I played a bunch of my music at a listening session and everyone responded to “Black Out” in particular. After the incident I had my management contact Rihanna’s team about giving her the song. I’m sure it’s still a sensitive time for her to address the issue at all.
Do you think some people will think you’re jumping on the bandwagon to get press for the new album?
Say what you want Mya, it sounds mighty suspect. I have never seen this
many black women band together on any other issues. No matter that no
one is really trying to get to the root of why women stand for abuse or
why men abuse women. No matter that videos are filled with young women
exploiting themselves on a daily, no matter that women are settling
left and right for knucklehead dudes – and oops getting pregnant – and
oops she’s a single mother.
I may get bashed for this, but we have more pressing issues facing
black women in particular that would help them not be OK with abuse in
any of its form - and manage NOT to bash the brothers while doing it.

Sounds like Mya is using Rihanna's situation as a stepping stone to revitalize her own career. What's next, all these female celebrities are gonna write off men forever and date each other?

Nobody really knows if she is jumping on the bandwagon like the article said but more black women than you think have been in abusive relationships at least once. Your sisters, mothers, daughters might and will experience some kind of abuse from another man in a relationship at some point in time. It takes one person to speak up.
Most women dont speak up and then its too late....a life is lost or the relationship has been over for years.

First of all she wasn't jumping on anyone's bandwagon. But if she did make the song because of the Rihanna incident, then so the eff what! It's not like she put the song on an album and make it her debut single. It's from her mixtape (which is dope BTW)...get over it!
