COMPLEX CONFIRMS: JOE BUDDEN QUIT EVERYDAY STRUGGLE

[Fani Willis fan]

Still, that's 1.6M a year, when Complex allegedly wanted to pay him 200K? That's a huge gap. Sometimes you can't come to terms in negotiations, these things happen

Its a lot of money but..Complex is owned by Verizon, they could pay Joe if they wanted to.
They're pulling the wool over people's eyes like it's an independent media company.

This is a one time special.

Looks like you were right.

 

[Mr_X]

Haven't watched Everyday Struggle in months, can't stand Wackademics. Would definitely watch a show with Joe and Charlamagne.

Nah, you don't understand corporate shyt b. You the dumbass nikka that would throw 5 mill at Joe Budden. I guess you chose the most apropos name on here because you really are a crackhead.

you do understand throwing around insults and negs doesnt make you smarter, right? you don't get to claim you know what you're talking about because you made a crackhead joke (though i'm sure some of the coli wolves will appreciate).

i dont need to neg you. i know my shyt, and i'm secure in what that knowledge has allowed me to do with my life so far. i never said i would give joe $5M. i actually said he came in "really, really, really high" with his ask. but if he had the numbers to back up his ask, fukk it. why? because i also said there's tremendous value in understanding your own worth, regardless of what nikkas like you think based on nothing but your own personal opinions.

there's a lot more i said earlier, some of which is being proven true. but i'm sure you'll just reply with more insults, so let's both move on. respect.

I ain't reading none of that shyt. You a dumb nikka that would give Joe Budden 5 mill if you ran a company. Clearly you a mental midget. Stay out of my alerts.

5 million isn't even a lot of money


that's an MLE contract in the NBA.. a bum player contract...



shyt, that KCP bum from the Lakers is getting 18 million this year and it's not even considered expensive. He's low on the totem pole..

#GMB never fails
Certs = Hoes
Billy Ocean HATES Joe Budden's existence

These will always hold true

im not sure of buddens over numbers but ak has a billion youtube views. he’s helped break at least half a dozen mumble rappers. fukk red carpet passes, celebs would still go on their own platform if the views are right. just like record labels are begging ak to put their artist up on his instagram. its also not that hard to rent a studio and hire some editors.

i understand they will lose certain networks, but if they can push out the same numbers; people will flock to them. hell, they’d probably be able to pay their own salary off a patreon account

That's not how it works lol. They get artists like Yachty, Joey Badass, etc. on the show because they're a professional publication and they have the connections + standing to be able to contact those artists' publicity teams and get them on the show. And without red carpet passes, you don't get the infamous Migos interview or content over something like BET Awards weekend.

And yes, it is "hard" to "rent a studio and hire some editors", you need to set up a company to do that, establish payroll, find and hire experienced people who would rather be working at a large publication like Complex, etc. You know how many producers, editors, interns probably work on the Everyday Struggle show? In order to get together news for the day, put it all together for them to talk about, set up that studio, make sure the audio and equipment is good, setup the cameras, get in touch with guests and their publicists, catering, graphics and videos and whatnot, making sure videos are uploaded on time, etc etc etc. It's a fukking operation like any TV show.

It's not just about numbers, Budden and Ak obviously get numbers. It's about platform, no different from anything else in the world. Now I'm not saying Budden and Ak couldn't go do this independently and be successful with it, but they would have a lot of things to consider in order to that

 

[desjardins]

No one has ever said that man.

I see we just making shyt up now

plenty of ppl online were saying Ak was carrying the show. Especially early on when Joe was going thru those weird mood swings where he would barely speak during the show
My son (and his friends) knows about everyday struggle because of akademiks ....dude really is the voice of this lil pump/trippie redd generation

 

[Will Ross]

I would not be shocked if this was a publicity Stunt. It’s odd how a couple of months ago ak kept Talking about leaving the show but now he saying he under contract.

 

[The Minister Of Culture]

If a nikka quitting call em Joe Budden

You know this isn't how profit and losses work
