Pink has quite an odd bank account

  • August 28, 2012

P'!'nk has quite an odd bank account.

The 'Humble Neighborhoods' hitmaker spoke about a special account she was advised to set up by LA Reid (as quoted here), saying: "When I first started, LA Reid said, ‘Make sure you put money into your Fuck You account'."

"That’s the account that, one day when people ask you to do things you don’t want to do, you say 'Fuck you’," she explained. "I make sure that my Fuck You account is okay, so that you never have to make decisions based on money. I feel like that’s where people kill their careers.”

We can't imagine where you'd go to get yourself one of these 'Fuck You' accounts. Perhaps from HSBCunt, or LloydsTSBastard.

Pink also revealed that she's "never the kind of person who’s sitting at home reading the charts and basing how I feel about myself or even my career on stats". Notes Alecia: "I’ve always based it on, 'Am I doing the best that I can do? And how’s my Fuck You account?'"

Wise words.

(Actually a 'Fuck You' account does sound like quite a good idea.)

EDIT: Music industry executive Colin Roberts has been in touch to suggest that Pink may in fact bank with "Halifucks, Royal Wank of Scotland, Co-operatit Bank and Standard Bastard".
