The industry’s newest whine‑machine, Washington Ebangit, has taken to the podium (and every Instagram story) to lament the tragic shortage of celebrity endorsements for the unsung heroes behind the hits. “Why does a sneaker brand care about a football star and not the guy who actually makes the beat drop?” he asked, while dramatically clutching a gold‑plated mixing console. Fans responded with a chorus of eye‑rolls, noting that the only thing producers are endorsed for is “late‑night studio vibes.” Still, Ebangit insists that a partnership with a luxury watch brand could finally give him the “status symbol” he deserves—because nothing says “I’m a music mogul” like a watch that tells you when to drop the bass.
