Seems more like she's calling out black people for dismissing her just because white people attend her concerts. What's the problem calling that out?
“So am I making music for that girl right there who looks like me, who grew up in a city where she was underappreciated and picked on and made to feel unbeautiful?’” she asked before answering, “Yes.”
I think her point is that she can write with a black target audience in mind but that feel good music with a message to picked-on people appreciate themselves can resonate beyond black people. How and why people are bullied olvaries wildly. Two people don't have to share the same bad experience to both enjoy a song.

She didn’t though. She said her audience is white and then said she doesn’t make music for white people.
An easy exercise is to switch the colors with the same statement and see if society would be okay with it.
Imagine a white singer saying their audience was black and they weren’t making music for them. They were making music for white people. Their career would be over immediately.

Bingo. At least one person here can understand the written language.
