It was naive of them to think otherwise when its Joe and Ian in rooms doing deals and negotiations without their consent or input. They were happily popping bottles after that Spotify deal without ever questioning why they weren’t at the table for it.

Yeah the answer for this whole Joe vs. Rory/Mal thing is definitely somewhere in the middle. Joe ain’t communicating shyt cause he feels like he’s the undisputed boss while Rory/Mal didn’t ask the right questions when signing the contract that made them feel like they have ownership stake of some sort in the pod.

If I’m Joe, there’s no way I’m not setting the stage with my friends upfront to make sure we’re all on the same page regarding the roles and responsibilities before the contracts even went out.

If I’m Rory/Mal, there’s no way I’m not questioning what I’m signing and why Joe can make decisions that affect the podcast while I’m not in the room AND not even tell me about them.

Joe definitely got his flaws but this last Patreon episode with the clips with him and ish debating definitely helps me understand why he feels like he’s right (even though I 100% disagree with how he did it).

Why are you saying Rory and Mal didn’t ask the right questions? That was the whole issue. Joe refused to answer them because “his feelings were hurt” and then would talk about “transparency” every podcast to troll them.

That’s on me. I should have phrased it “weren’t asking” because I’m talking about before all of these issues popped off at the time the initial contracts were signed/agreements were made to enter the profit share agreement.

In the Patreon ep Joe made it clear he wasn’t sharing pertinent info about the contracts he was turning down with Rory/Mal because he was only obligated to share accounting info that they couldn’t even veto but we’re contractually obligated to see. He didn’t even tell them and/or disclose details about the deals he was turning down.

All I’m saying is if questions like “why am I signing as a profit partner when erratic ass Joe can unilaterally make the decision to turn down contracts that severely affect said profit?” was asked beforehand, those contracts probably wouldn’t have been signed. Ish is asking all the right questions relevant to his situation IMO which is why he’s not signing that contract.

When did he become unpopular?

Tours been selling out since 98 and albums being going gold first week (until Tidal exclusive week) and platinum plus :jbhmm:

After EIL flopped they couldn’t deny it any longer.That’s why he’s no where to be found on Renaissance. Those tours selling out had nothing to do with Jay z. I saw Jay for the MCHG tour with a $5 resell ticket

Also Jay z TikTok sound :mjlol:

Joe really thinks that he didn’t have to pay Rory and Mal after the Spotify deal ended :gucci: He’s truly acting as if that was a gift, like they weren’t working for it

He’s also lying by saying there was no money for Rory and Mal outside of the Spotify deal. How about YouTube? Why didn’t they get ANY of that money from the visual podcast episodes. They also were on tour, which is another stream of income.

As the “owner”, it’s your responsibility to pay people regardless of how much money is coming in. They’re not working for free.

He also keeps glossing over expenses and not explaining what exactly made the podcast so expensive to run. Joe Budden deciding to launch two new podcasts with 5 combined hosts and staff has zero to do with Rory and Mal. If they’re not getting a cut of those profits, why should those expenses impact they’re income?

Joe is a shyt businessman.

This tickets were for his top generating completely solo tour, that's a pricing strategy.
Maximizing the average price per ticket, it seems to be rocket science to some. But it's quite basic business applied by LiveNation.
Those 5 buck tickets were if you were lucky for the last maybe 100 tickets in a 20k arena.


Jay unlike other big rappers is the only one with balls to go on tour without other big artists too.

And I'm not downloading that kids app to listen to something about Jay-z aimed at kids and nikkas who like the same content as kids :ufdup:

Lol they were percentage partners right? They asked to see accounting so they could see how much they were owed because of their percentage. Joe didn’t show them the accounting.

There ain’t much u can do if the nikka with the money telling u he ain’t showing u the money. Besides Sue, and I don’t think Mal cares to do that. I can see Rory saying fukk it eventually and Sue to see them numbers.

I’ll preface this by saying “I get my info from the pod”. :russ:

From what I can tell the real issue seems to be that Joe showed numbers but they looked fugazi to Rory/Mal so they wanted to open up the books more to a deeper scan.

At this point I think all of these dudes are wrong in some fashion until somebody sues and proves their case.
