SOHH.com dropped a post today reporting that Cassie’s and Rhianna’s nude pics did nothing for their record sales. Shame, shame. Both celebs claim the photos were leaked without their consent, a fact of which is questionable. The timing of the leaks is too close to upcoming projects and recent cries for attention, so it looks like the leaks were contrived. 

If Cassie and Rhi Rhi did in fact leak the nude flicks, they can maximize the opportuntiy to peddle their goodies. Why not take control and make it work to your advantage? Example, Kim Kardashian. Became famous after a “leaked” sex tape of her getting down with Ray J. Guess who worked out a deal to get her cut from the sex tape from Vivid Entertainment? Kim took it even further and posed for Playboy, who pays centerfolds upwards of $100k. Cassie and Rhianna should take control of the images that are being put out there and profit from it. 

Maybe the reason the nude pictures didn’t help Cassie and Rhianna’s sales is because their music isn’t resonating with the audience. Consumers are savvy these days. Titty pics generate gazillions of page views, but they may not compel a person to buy the music. It compels them to want to see the pics. If the music is good, people will listen. They will buy. The will pay to see you perform.  

Here’s the math: are you using your sexuality to make money, or to promote music? If it’s simply for money and attention, work out deals and get your cut. Tap into the millions of page views that are generated off your boo-tay and get some rev share. If it’s for the music, it won’t work if you aren’t doing anything related to the music. Ass alone is not enough. It needs to be tied in to the creative aspect. 

The best way to promote your music is to get out there, talk about the music, perform, and leak some tracks instead of whoring your body out to garner attention. If you’re going to use your body to make money, do that. If you want people to be interested in your music try putting out good, quality music. Sex sells, but there’s always something else newer, hotter, and skankier. After you show your entire body to the world, there’s nothing left after that.
