"I have considered rap music stars, and there is one in my new book, Lovers and Players, and there is also a hip-hop music mogul who I think you will like a lot"
About this Quote
The specific intent is promotional, but not generic. Collins is reassuring her audience that she’s still current, still prowling the hottest rooms. “I have considered” plays coy, as if she’s a novelist doing careful research rather than an entertainer chasing the zeitgeist. It’s a subtle bid for legitimacy: she’s not exploiting hip-hop; she’s incorporating it. Then she pivots to pure invitation: “I think you will like a lot.” That direct appeal turns the mogul into a reader surrogate - an accessible “insider” figure who can guide traditional Collins fans through a newer cultural landscape without alienating them.
The subtext is also about power. A “rap music star” suggests charisma and heat; a “hip-hop music mogul” suggests empire, control, and the machinery behind fame. Collins isn’t interested in authenticity politics; she’s interested in hierarchy, appetite, and the transactional nature of desire. Contextually, it’s a late-career Collins move: stay glued to the next shiny, controversial corner of celebrity, and translate it into her signature high-gloss melodrama.
