It seems Drake has a Dr Dre Suge Knight deal and he still owes Cash Money one more album.

1)On Drake label status:

“Meanwhile, Drake’s status remains something of a mystery. On his 2018 album Scorpion, he declaredhimself “out of the deal” after fulfilling his contractual obligations; Cash Money’s spokesperson says he’s scheduled for one more. Neither Drake nor Universal would comment on his status. The Williams brothers say they are “forever in business” with Drake, but won’t get more specific”


2)On Royalties and not paying artist:

“Despite that kind of success, many of Cash Money’s early acts left the label after complaining they’d been cheated out of royalties. Mannie Fresh departed over such claims in 2005 (he did not reply for a request for comment), while Lil Wayne spent much of the last five years suing Cash Money over money issues amid the specter of violence. He finally left the label as a multimillion-dollar 2018 settlement cleared the way for the release of his latest album, Tha Carter V (a representative declined to make him available for an interview).

Cash Money’s founders deny any nefarious activity and argue that the contractual conflicts stem from the fact that many of their artists aren’t familiar with the music business when they arrive. “Contracts haven’t been done, producer agreements haven’t been done, samples haven’t been cleared,” Brown says. “Ninety percent of the time, it’s not that we owe them money. It’s that other people worked to get paid that they didn’t know had to get paid”

:manny: Apparently that’s not what his contract says according to cash money.
According to the same article that says they don't scam artists after universal forced them to settle Wayne's debt and hold the charge

Drake is not on CMR anymore. He is on universal their parent co...

Baby will say anything to save face. All he's got is royalty payments. He never had a say in that man's career

'The Williams brothers say they are “forever in business” with Drake, but won’t get more specific”':deadmanny:

:mjgrin:this shyt ridiculous by now
aubrey probably signed a lifetime contract and doesn't know it yet.
i don't know how many times this guy has been off cash money, just for birdman to pull the ':birdman:nah,pleighboi'

he's been off cash money since them take care days according to some of you stans
either drake's team didn't read the fine print or birdman's lawyers wrote some parts of drake's contract in invisible ink.
