This is objectively untrue. Drake was a free agent and had all the leverage. He obviously isnt taking a bad deal. It's entirely illogical. Who is getting most of his contract if not him? He even said he got 360mm upfront on a song.


Even in '09, Drake had a great deal with Aspire. Lil Wayne manager spoke on that.

Thebooth likes to say Drake is protected by the jews but also say that he has a bad deal. How does that make sense?

Brehs really thought it was over :laff:

I tried to tell yall. Come on back in here @boogers :lolbron:
It's over man, give up . if he has something more to say to kendrick let's hear it...other than that he just gonna focus on nikkas that either can't or won't respond. This whole beef with metro is a distraction and you dudes are using it to salvage some semblance of a win. Whole strategy is transparent which is why he got his feet whooped in the first place

You should do more research. Way more.

He's been on paper before the Cash Money deal. Look it up. That contract is still active today. I'm not even talking about the Republic deal. And let's not go with the "He even said" sh*t. He's said a lot of things. How many lies has dude been caught in? Come on. He didn't have no "great deal" with Jas. Wayne manager back then was a part owner of the label. Of course he said it was a good deal, lol. They're still getting paid off of him today! And they were suing Cash Money years ago because they said they owned like 25% of dude's music rights. They took Baby to court because he wasn't paying them the money they were supposed to get. They ended up settling for like $11M, off of Drake's royalties. This was just a couple years ago!

Why do you think every rapper that throws shots at him, speaks on him being "signed to one person who's signed to another dude, who's signed to another dude"? He's been extorted before he even inked with UMG. Why do you think he's not taking that "break" he said he was going to take? He can't. Because he has to go make those people their money. They're all getting paid off dude, STILL. Which is why every time he gets into a little trouble, his handlers come out and speak on his behalf and work behind the scenes and in front to squash sh*t. If the brand ends, the payday ends. This is pretty much common knowledge now, bro.
They sued because they allowed Drake to record for Cash Money in exchange for a third of net profits (which is the worst thing to get in deals) and a third of the masters. That had nothing to do with their Drake contract, or Drake's money. That was Birdman not paying them their share.


Drake's deal with Aspire:
"They have given me one of the greatest situations in hip-hop," Drake, 22, said of his team.

Under the unusually lucrative agreement he struck with Aspire/Young Money/Cash Money Records distributed through Universal, Drake received a $2-million advance. He retains the publishing rights to his songs and cedes only around 25% of his music sales revenues to the label as a "distribution fee," his managers said. By contrast, the overwhelming majority of new artists sign financially restrictive "360 deals" that sap their touring and merchandise income and offer much more restrictive profit-sharing."


After Views, he was done with all that. People can diss him any which way they want, doesnt make it a reality now, especially when he had all the leverage in the world this time around. This UMG deal he has now cant be compared to anything else.

Everything you just typed is mad inaccurate.

You’re hurt. I get it. But crying over Drake’s bad deals ain’t gonna change anything. They're still robbing dude today. 1/4 of his publishing and royalties still goes to them. Because dude signed an indefinite agreement with them. Which means it's not ending, until they sell the rights back to him. Which they aren't doing anytime soon.

He's also kicking 40% to UMG today, as the sub with OVO. Only thing he's out of, is his recording contract with Baby. But Baby is still eating off of his publishing. Those were two different deals. So after Views, Baby was pocketing royalties and not splitting those with the labels. Which is why he was sued. I know this because I was at UMG when he inked. What Drake didn't understand, was that just because he's not recording under the CM umbrella, that doesn't mean all of his rights go back to him. Those deals are all very separate. This is why Ross told Drake to help Baby get out of foreclosure. Because even with the millions he makes off of Drake's publishing today, that's not gonna help him with the wild debt he still needs to recoup on.

So this fantasy "leverage" you keep posting about, doesn't exist. UMG and Republic helped him to clear his deal with CM and YM. Millions he owed Baby. Now he has to pay those same millions back with interest to Republic, while also kicking 1/4 to Jas and another 40% to the parent company, which is UMG again. So, you can believe what rappers say about their deals all you want. None of them tell the truth about what's really going on. But enough people in the business talk about dude having "one of the worst deals ever" for you to know what's been going on by now. I've been in the room, I can speak to it. Or you can go with the fantasy. That's on you.

He could’ve used you back in ’08-’09 before he inked up with those people. You could’ve warned him then. LOL!!
