There's no real money in music unless you're a string puller or one of the 70 or some mainstream artists across the entire domestic music spectrum that are really eating.

Its such a waste of time and energy I feel bad whenever I see an aspiring artist..ups hiring may actually be a better prospect for most of them.

In Chris case he's fine till he falls off. We've seen this movie before.

He's probably low-balling that a little for tax purposes, but he hasn't done much recently either.

And most musicians/entertainers never made what athletes made. The most popular artists say a Drake/Cardi B/Adele/Taylor Swift whatever are not making LeBron/Serena/Tiger/Ronaldo/Mayweather/McGregor money.

The tradeoff of is most musicians are a little bit freer in what they do, say, and in general carry themselves. You can be an outright criminal and still have a career. Can't say the same for athletes.

And people were looking at method man funny when he asked where the hell all of these rappers getting money

Yet I'm somehow supposed to believe lil Yachty is pulling in 13 million a year
Yachty also has major sponsorships, tours and festivals - and acting.

In the post-$17.98 price for a physical CD current period, that is fantastic regular income for a music artist.

Unless he was solely selling out stadium dates like Springsteen, U2, The Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift or Beyonce (which he has not) where else would his extra money come from during a time when people don't directly pay for music?

Musicians are at the lower end of the spectrum in terms of entertainers.

The smart ones get into stuff like acting.

Will Smith, 50, JLo...bunch of other people, but those are who came to mind at the moment.
A lot of actors ain’t making shyt whereas an artist can make a couple thousand in a couple hours doing one show.
