Drake has never received a royalty check and is trying to leave YMCMB contract (Long Read)

That nigga is rubbing his hands right.

Drake saw $11 million last year. How can anyone say he's not making money? LOL

you dont know how royalties work....where is that 11 mill gonna be at when drake is 60 yeras old? he needs his royalties when he cant do shows or record anymore. why do you think these old ass rock dudes still do shows? because they were the pioneers of getting jerked by the industry

What does the $11 mill last year have to do with future royalities? You're acting like Drake has to pay those with the money he's earned.

Nicki and Drake could have their own tapon don music and coonpaigns respectfully without being screwed over by having to share that shit with ymcoonmb. I still don't see what the label has done to boost any of their stocks since signing. If drake did the same shit on another label it was bound to still do just as good as it did under ymcoonmb. Same thing with nicki. A black barbie who wishes she was white is some shit that would have again sold regardless of what label it was on.

My question is why did both drake and nicki sign with young money coon money out of all the labels? Granted Drake does love nicki and lil wayne on a special level.

The bold applies to most of those older rock acts. You think Aeroesmith, Bon Jovi, Brett Michaels, Metaillica or dudes like that are hurting for money still? They tour sold out year round for 2-3 yr periods at a time. They tour w/o even putting out new albums

The bigger question is, the dude suing says he hasn't been paid yet and neither has Drake. So why is Drake not questioning YMCMR about where his money at, this dude is just content with people owing him millions.

Ironic thing is, Drake didn't need to sign to YM, he had all the buzz in the world and was a indy artist. He literally could of written his own path, he could of been Mac Miller except 10 times the sales. smh

 

[kingofharts]

Alot of people had been reporting that Jas' contracts with YM and CMR were only verbal. But he actually did have a written contract with them (in the exhibits).

And if you go to the end, in the last exhibit there's an April memo from Drake's legal representation where they're saying CMR's had already breached the initial contract for nonpayment. So it's not just Jas Prince saying Drake wasn't getting paid.

Dang, why would you not pay your best earners in an era where only a select few are selling? That's crazy.

"Industry rule #4080/Record company people are shady"

A verbal contract is still binding

you just proved my point. its not that they don't need to record albums, they probably dont want to. come on if the beatles, probably the most legendary band of all time didnt own the rights to their own music, none of the bands you mentioned are above getting jerked. if you do your research you will see alot of those bands dont own any of their rights as a recording artist

I'm saying most of them tour because they love to play live and it's easy money, not that they need the money or went broke. Steven Tyler, Jon Bon Jovi, Mick Jagger, Bono aren't hurting for cash at all.

Well that's on his own personal spending, not on the money he's receiving....but dude is making money. Nobody broke buys a 7 million dollar crib.... but niggas who buy 7 million dollar cribs will probably be broke soon.

-_- What I'm saying is him being broke or not when he's 60 falls on how he personally spends the money he's making... because obviously he is making bookoo bucks. Anyone who makes 15-20 million within 2 years will not be broke at 60 if they aren't fiscally stupid.

You're not making any sense
