I'm looking at the angles that people are using to defend this petition and they are heavy reaches.
1. No one is truly asking themselves why would UMG allegedly undermine their cash cow? Contrary to people on Twitter, he isn't done with his deal, so it doesn't work as a negotiating tactic for UMG. This is the guy the same people have claimed has been keeping the industry above water for a decade.
2. Admitting UMG helped his career with streams may help his legal case but it shatters his legacy and future earning potential. He don't all of sudden care about the state of the industry and artist treatment - so all them accolades and records don't mean anything.
3. Nobody is bigger than the program - from this day forward, the music industry will do everything it can to throw water on any spark he may have simply because he could cost them business in exposing the practices they use for ALL artist.
4. What's going to be left of his fanbase outside of the gaggle of coli and twitter stans when this is all said and done? This isn't how rap/hip-hop is supposed to move and it fa sh*t sho ain't how the culture moves.
This not how you get out of your deal champ with all them people in your pockets.

All of the sudden nikkaz is Pro-industry, Pro- Machine
Nobody being pro industry. This has ALWAYS been unacceptable to do in hip hop. This has always been looked at as corny. It’s part of the culture to just go back and forth and off you catch a L, so be it. Has nothing to do with supporting labels, because if he was suing for some shyt like they underpaying him… I would definitely support that . Don’t matter how I feel about a artist

It's over for you Gary Owen.
Don't ever come around these parts pretending to be Black or down for the culture or whatever charade you wanna act out. You can join Drake and take your ass up outta here.
Ak was damn smiling like a proud dad watching his only son that made it when he was telling ducktales about all the rappers being mad at Drake because Universal somehow allowed him an ownership stake in all of their publishing deals…
Now the truth is Drake ain’t never been nothing but another worker bee and now he’s mad his time as top dog was cut short because he couldn’t out-rap or out-strategize his opponent.
Dude BEGGED Kendrick to drop for two weeks and in that time had ZERO contingency plan for if the pulitzer prize winning lyricist just so happened to flame him? Pathetic.
