It’s not greed it’s what’s in the contract
And when was it 30 mill just because they said it?
Diddy is foul yes…. But I for one don’t see an issue with this you say you don’t mess with me but want my help? 🤔

Breh was owed???Bro said a “free ride” after Diddy made $30M off of Da Band touring and doing TV shows and told them it was all promotional and they weren’t getting paid for it.
They were getting a few thousand to live on.
After Katrina, people needed help. If you think he was asking for a handout, you’re bugging. He was owed and the least Diddy’s ho ass could’ve done was let him get the insurance money to get back on his feet. There’s a lot to the story not covered in that clip.
This is business, Diddy didn't owe him a mother fukking thing. He signed those contracts, he got fleeced.
Breh was owed???
So when Ma$e, The LOX, etc., were done dirty by Diddy y’all were on the “but they signed the contract” side of it. Got it.

i often wonder.....
why is it always the black label owners that get backlash from common music industry practices?
why isnt anyone making videos about Lucian Grainge? why arent people doing interviews about him?
i think we know why....

Because WE can’t talk shyt about the white man and equality out one side of our necks (suing Deleon) and act like the same white man and use his talking points out the other side.

That’s my question it’s strange
It’s like the black ones got to give extra on top of the contract and coddle these artist
I remember when black rob got sick
They came after diddy he was off bad boy for like 15 years at that point
And black rob said he get all his royalties from bad boy it was the child support that was getting him broke
Even then some said diddy needed to give him a job
I’m like
It a post on the music side of the coli and it’s Jim jones spending crazy amounts of money
about 10 years ago Like on dumb stuff but it’s no diddy to blame so we blame him
Because these guys and chicks want to continue to stay in the business and are afraid if they say anything bad about interscope they career is done
Not too many ice cubes out here today who actually criticize the jerry hellers and priority records
nikkas stand on business but only when referring to black businessess

Yeah because you stripping all the context out of it. It’s multifaceted. Diddy ain’t shyt. Those contracts are predatory as fukk. Morally it’s incorrigible. The artists made pennies while the company made dollars. I mean, this is capitalism. But I’m never going to say Diddy owes them anything legally.So when Ma$e, The LOX, etc., were done dirty by Diddy y’all were on the “but they signed the contract” side of it. Got it.
I personally would have a heart so I couldn’t do that to people who helped build my empire but I wouldn’t rise to the level of Diddy because I have a heart.

Ok
So what would you do on diddy position mind you these contracts come from the parent record company
He just the label
So when the artist not recouping because you did your side with promotion etc..
Just go in your pocket to make sure that artist is good forever?

I can't say what I'd do in that situation because I'm not built like that. He did a lot of fukked up shyt to get to the position he's in, all under the guise of getting rich. That ain't what I'm about at all. So I can't speak on it.

I think it’s more about their visibility, the fact they are seen as “one of us” and the vocality of the artists complaining.
