I said this yesterday. Yet we’re supposed to believe the albums on his new deal (plus the tours) have magically hit 500mil+ in a couple years.
He’s mad he’s stuck in a bad deal and is trying to get out by any means. That’s all this is about. Go look at Prince’s 1992 deal if you want an example of how past album success can be used as a weapon by labels with an artist who isn’t selling as much as he used to. Prince couldn’t replicate his mid/late 80s success by 1992. Drake clearly can’t replicate his Scorpion/Views era success. And just like Prince he tricked himself into picking the big headline number out of ego.
That would have been the perfect time to do his own thing
