And Cortez Bryant and Gee Roberson.

Drake and OVO 75 %

25 % -> Universal and Cash Money, Cash Money has a pretty good deal the old one was like 85-15 split -> ⅓ of that 85% of the 25 % to Aspire who are supposed to pay Jas Prince. The question is if Drake still is signed to Aspire. And obviously Young Money is an subsidiary of Cash Money, I don't know what type of deal structure they have, probably none.
Yeah I don't think YM has any deal structure :snoop:
Wayne should be eating nicely from Drake and Nicki sales but Birdman at it again finessing the game :birdman:
Wayne had to sue universal for unpaid royalties :snoop:

Unless you know specific terms of his deal you don't know that
Those were the terms. Drake was never in a 360 deal or depending on advances to make records. He had 10 million before cash money paid him royalties from sprite, virgin, shows etc... Eventually went to court for royalties owed to him jprince Jr and Wayne. Only album sale royalties...

These goofy dudes in here always making shyt up but can't explain why he banking more and more than his fake bosses every year. His record contract better than his fake boss who depends on advances and needs permission to release. Drake drops when he wants and keeps his pub. Since then he's got Jordan brand and the raptors paying him too.

But meanwhile on the coli a pusha t bar thrown in jest is taken as truth but the man who spit it likes to throw stones and hide his hand all the time. Definition of a coward.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
I don't understand how Apple can distribute drake's album online exclusively when he's signed to Universal? Does Universal get a cut? Even if they do, why would they allow that? That means they are splitting the pie with Apple, when they already have Drake's rights. Which makes no sense business wise.
cause he signed to one nikka that's signed to another nikka that's signed to 3 nikkas

Universal > Cash Money > Young Money > J.Prince > Apple > Drake

:wow: Be a Jew and have worst deal in the industry brehs


:mjlol:this made me laugh bruh, but i'm sure Apple could buy him out of his contract if they tried. but doubt Birdman letting him go. it was stated he got a exclusive deal and owns all of his music, he probably gettin paid more than Lil Wayne right now. ain't Cash Money /Universal just distributors?
