This is HOW Festivals killed the STARS — & Bobby Shmurda Ashanti tickets are proof…. Watch this!!!!

Festivals killed the star — and Bobby Shmurda is the proof."

In this unfiltered Raydar Report, Ray Daniels (@raydaniels) goes OFF on why hip-hop’s biggest names are struggling to sell tickets — and why being famous doesn’t mean you have fans.

“There’s no connection to him anymore.” — Ray Daniels on Bobby Shmurda

From Rolling Loud to Coachella, festivals created a fake perception of celebrity — bundling artists together, cutting real artist-fan relationships short, and making stars believe the crowd was there for them when they weren’t.

Ray holds nothing back:

• “You think 100,000 people were singing your song. No — you were part of the bundle that day.”
• “Beyoncé sells tickets. Kendrick sells tickets. Jason Derulo, Flo Rida? Never sold tickets.”
• “If you can prove you can sell tickets, you can get signed.”
• “Akon turned down a tour for $40K/night because he was used to getting $300K overseas.”
• “Bobby’s charging $40 a ticket to perform a record from 11 years ago — fans aren’t paying for nostalgia, they’re paying for connection.”

Ray also name-drops:
Ashanti, Playboi Carti, Tory Lanez, Adele, Taylor Swift, Tupac, Aaliyah, and Frankie Beverly & Maze — showing the difference between legacy and hype.

This isn’t just about Bobby Shmurda — this is about the death of the star and the rise of the bundle.

Watch this clip if you’ve ever wondered:

Why today’s artists have fans of moments, not movements
Why streaming and festivals ruined artist development
Why TikTok heat doesn't equal ticket sales
Why the money stops once the hype dies
"You want to make $100K forever? Keep hitting clubs. You want to make $1M a show? Sacrifice and build." — Ray Daniels
