TV and radio personality LootLove has touched on the “opening up the industry” debate.

Loot took to Twitter on Thursday afternoon to explain that it looks like when people finally make it inside the industry, they then become like everyone else and are reluctant to “open up the industry”. 

“I’ve picked up that 'open up the industry' seems to only apply when outside the club... once y’all get in, it gets tricky. Very tricky. You almost become the same people you complained about,” she wrote.

She said that once people are in the industry, they then realise how tricky it is and are all about “keeping theirs”.

She added that it only makes sense to make way for others once you're on top and are stable.

The TV personality concluded her thread with a plea to people to judge less and walk a mile in celebrities' shoes first when it came to passing comments about opening up the industry.
