Definition
hanger-on
(hangers-on)
If you describe someone as a hanger-on, you are critical of them because they are trying to be friendly with a richer or more important person, especially in order to gain an advantage for themselves.
For every one or two talented people in any group of artists, there are hordes of talentless hangers-on.
