I don't know how old she was when she signed it, but she was almost 30 when her first album dropped. And she should have known the business enough due to her releasing her own music prior to signing with J Cole. She wasn't a child and I KNOW she heard the horrors of the industry back then.
Ya’ll don’t realize by now this is her gimmick?
She’s asked to be release from the label 3476 times by now and usually ends up dropping a project a few months later.
She’s also talked about not being “protected” several times by entities that have ZERO responsibility to do so. She complained about Rod Wave not “protecting” her when the fans at the tour turned against her when thats her management’s job. Just like the label isn’t going to “protect” you because their a RECORD label not a security company.
These are buzz words she uses to get fans in her corner while she gears up for another project. Just like Summer Walker always has a man whose done her wrong right before she drops an album and Cardi B has marital issues before she drops a single/video.
Its all marketing.

Boo Hoo bytch, you signed. Is this bytch ever not complaining? These bytches use to same playbook when they don’t like their deal and they love using that word “protect”. Without this deal, your ugly ass is working in a call center getting sexually harassed all day.

She signed to Interscope? If so good luck. Entire industry is predatory.

Look....READ....THE....CONTRACT!!!
If you got to have a lawyer, a granny, Ed from Good Burger, something to read the shyt to see where you will stand with the label, its essential. Lets keep it a bean, Dreamville in itself is the weirdest label in existence. She would be essential in the 2000s during the whole Neo Soul/R and B last stand era. You either have the drive to go independent and accept the grind, or you are stuck recouping STUPID...STUPID....STUUUUUPID
