Billboard and the coli need to be consistent and fair in terms of what is counted towards the sales.

Also both sold more than Pusha T.

@Detroit Wave can suck my dikk.

It depends on if your numbers are correct or not and if you follow the rules. You can’t sell 1 buck drinks and give out download links. It’s got to cost around 4-5 bucks for it to count. And board is even more strict than riaa.

Khaled most likely broke both those rules. We need receipts for those 100k purchases of his energy drink flavor.

Basically Billboard are saying that he tried to finesse them with fugazi numbers. Would be ironic if they countersue for fraud
I was thinking something like this. Like maybe the product you buy has to cost more than what the album will :yeshrug:

He was probably trying to sell 2 dollar energy drinks And you get the album :mjlol:

Compared to if you cop a shirt and hat for 50 bucks and get the album link that way. I could be wrong

Khaled coming across like a salty fakkit. Nobody cared that he came in number 2 but with all his bytchassness he's made it a thing.

Let it go, you made a compilation and people didn't feel it like you thought.
That's not his point.

It's that billboard suddenly changed their mind and has a double standard on which bundles count.

Khaled gotta chill... seems like the money for the bundled shyt is there just not the credits.

Should be more worried that no one is clamoring to hear any of them songs than tricks to boost the numbers. Put a lot of emphasis on the hybrid reggae songs and they made no waves.

They said there were anomalies in the number. Just cause someone purchased the drink doesn't mean they used the download code for the album and this is probably where the disagreement started. More than likely Khaled wanted to count the drinks sold and Billboard wanted to count the actual downloads from the drink. Couldn't get an accurate number from Khaled's camp so none of it counted.

Tyler probably had more clear numbers as his bundles were included. There is no reason for white ran Billboard who lives for the mainstream to try to purposely fukk Khaled. :hubie:

Khaled is showing his ass here :camby:

Nicki went after Travis, Kylie and her brand so bad that Charlemagne cornball ass gave her donkey of the day.

She didn't record a video about it and try filing a lawsuit. :dahell:

She threw up a couple of shady tweets (that were very DIRECT BTW) and called it a day. She then tried to explain and be friendly to Kylie and Trav after IN PERSON, not on some throw stones and hide hands BS that Khaled is doing in reference to Tyler. We all know that "mysterious music no one listens to" jab was for Tyler.

He's bytch made :ufdup:

Bundling energy drinks with an album, especially a DJ Khaled album sounds like a dumb idea to me in the first place so idk what he was expecting. If nikkas won't buy DJ Khaled albums on they own why would they buy energy drinks for one?? :gucci:

I mean if they are counting Tyler's bundle sales and not his then he has a real case. Im not seeing anything he's doing wrong. Am i bugging?
So merch and clothes are fine but energy drinks aren't? Weird stipulation from Billboard I can kinda see why Khaled mad.

Having said that, the album would have moved more units if it was better so :yeshrug:
The devil is in the details. Tyler's album bundles are actual merch related to his album (shirts, hoodies, etc). DJ Khaled went to some 3rd party MLM company that recruits people in that pyramid scheme bullshyt to "sell" some energy drink no one has ever heard of. That company is running some promotion that for every pack of drinks their member sell comes with a free Khaled album download. The problem is they're a scam MLM company that recruits people to recruit people to recruit people who are forced to "buy" the drinks. There's no way to verify how many are actually sold.
