Grace Jones Insults Just About Every Pop Star Going: ‘They’re All Replaceable ‘

Grace Jones has caused all kinds of uproar and Twitter trending today after quotes of hers’ were released in which she calls pretty much every decent pop star our world has to offer a ‘replaceable middle of the road passing phase’.

Yep – Grace goes IN.

In excerpts from her forthcoming memoir, the former pop star lays into Rihanna, Nicky Minaj, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga and even Sia saying that they are all just ‘adhering to the status quo’.

The now 67-year-old says she never wanted to be ‘famous for being famous’ and accuses the above of doing just that and then some.

She then accuses them ALL of copying HER.

“Trends come along, and people say, ‘Follow that trend’. There’s a lot of that around at the moment: ‘Be like Sasha Fierce. Be like Miley Cyrus. Be like Rihanna. Be like Lady Gaga. Be like Rita Ora and Sia. Be like Madonna.’ I cannot be like them – except to the extent that they are already being like me,” Grace writes.

Well, they do say that imitation is the finest form of flattery.

“I have been so copied by those people who have made fortunes that people assume I am that rich,” she adds.

Er, is it just us or did it all just go a little Kanye West in here?

She accuses today’s pop elite of being ‘replaceable’ and having ‘no long term vision’. N.B.: Grace Jones has not had a hit album or single in nearly three decades.

“They dress up as though they are challenging the status quo, but by now, wearing those clothes, pulling those faces, revealing those tattoos and breasts, singing to those fractured, spastic, melting beats – that is the status quo. You are not off the beaten track, pushing through the thorny undergrowth, finding treasure no one has come across before. You are in the middle of the road,” she writes.

The singer, who says Kate Moss calls her the only remaining diva, is also sick of the label being banded around willy-nilly.

“Every singer given a makeover or a few weeks on a talent show seems to be called a diva these days! Christ almighty. Where’s the exclusivity? It’s so commercial now.”

And for that reason – she’s steering clear.

“I’m a Jones,” she says instead.

Well, she certainly is one-of-a-kind that’s for sure.
