The prison is in large part of her own making. It's not like she *had* to make Basil lie about the attack, or join Generation Colors, or force Basil to take control of her acting and singing. Things keep getting worse because she keeps escalating rather than take responsibility for her own shortcomings.

Her prison isn't generation colors, her prison is basil. Has been since birth.
I wasn't sure until the bit where basil tried to plant the idea of her buying a freaking planet. Whenever he can he pushes for more and more or puts her in situations where her alternatives to pushing for more are untenable.
We read it as basil doing these things for her sake because he cannot think of his own actions in any other way but every time there's leeway for him to interpret his instructions HE escalates. He's perfectly capable of having shaped things from the memory editing until now such that A gets a moderate following and freedom to just do her own thing but he didn't.
