Rory and Mal said their revenue share was 1%, they were largely paid based on salary.

When did they say that? All I’ve heard both sides say was that they were supposed to be paid strictly off revenue share and Joe wanted to move them to a salary structure.

It seemed pretty obvious to me Joe fukked them through contract language. Joe even basically gloated saying "it's not my fault you signed a bad contract" in one of his response videos.

So basically they all agree to a profit split of like 70/15/15 for podcast profits. When Joe signs to Spotify he signs the contract under Joe Budden Productions to produce content for Spotify. This allows Joe Budden Productions to then divvy up what he wants to the podcast and to produce additional content. Say the deal is 10 million. That let's Joe dedicate 5 million to the JBP and use the other 5 million towards the other network shows. It also gives him room to put his personal expenses as business expenses before profitability is determined (i.e. cars, new teeth, drivers, personal chefs). It would also leave Joe room to pay himself a salary as the head of Joe Budden Productions before any of the money makes its way to be considered as the JBP revenue.

That would leave R&M no room to see since their profit only comes out after expenses are settled (which Joe says in the contract he has the right to determine expenses).

At least that's how I think it shook out and why R&M can't sue since Joe signed the spotify deal under a production company.

I could believe that except he went through the motions of sending them the fake excel sheet

If he did that knowing he schemed them, that's diabolical behavior

They talked about it in one of their earlier videos when all this happened. They were on salary, but also had a 1% revenue share, which is why they asked to look at the books and the 400k stuff came in. I'll try to find a vid

I could be wrong but I don’t think they were ever on salary. I thought one of the things mentioned was that Joe was trying to move them to salary once their contract was up.

You might be mistaken, I remember them saying that they had a revenue share agreement but Joe wanted to put them on a salary.

This.

I don't ever recall themselves saying they were on salary

Yes. Joe hinted at wanting to put R&M on salary and they pushed back.

 

[Yayo Toure]

I don't care about it any more

I'm sure Joe did them dirty, but they keep crying when he throws shots

There's an easy way to settle it, and that's to sue

I'd definitely do it if a dude kept bringing my name through the dirt

At minimum I'd start the process, and if we settle, a public apology has to be given, and dude has to show the contract live on air apologizing

Exactly.

If so much money is at stake, why not sue? The guys that thought an excel spreadsheet was not official accounting are either too dumb or don't have an actual case. Budden is a dikkhead but these guys are no better. A career hanger on and a culture vulture feel disenfranchised, woe is me.

Podcast fans still talking about contract business they know nothing about 3 years later is crazy
