Usually the label will front the money with the expectations that you'll pay them back.
Her label takes majority of her income and makes her fit the bill for her career, out of pocket, not on loan.

he was taking 60% told her she could have the remaining 40 but out of that 40 she had to pay for the engineers, features etc.
Hakim from Channel Live said it best- the money you get from a label is a loan to complete a project...its not money to go buy cars and floss to ya bytches or ya mans....promotion, warddrobe, dinners, flights, phone usage- all that is coming out of that 40%- the money you gonna make is whatever you get per song/stream/project sold and show/ tour money (unless you have sneaker or clothing deals and if you sign a 360- ya label is getting a piece of that action to)
These things have a way of working out. t
Its not surprising that this happens. The contracts are filled with language the general public won't understand, It's definitely designed for Lawyers, You definitely need a lawyer to navigate those contracts over 200 pages in many cases. It's designed to get people lost; but mainly to cover themselves from future litigation
"When I signed, I didn't really know what was in my contract."
Stupid

Really out chea
I'm saying the standard recording contract is always gonna be grossly in favor of the label. That's just how it goes in any business negotiation.
Think about it. The label is the one who is fronting the cost of wardrobe, videos, studio time, features, etc. The label has to be compensated out of the artist's cut. How else will they get a return on their investment?
That's why it pays to come into a negotiation where you have leverage where you agree to pay for alot of that out of your pocket. That's so you don't owe the label as much. The more you do for yourself, the more of the pie you can get.
1501 invested 8 figures into her to make her pop. She signed the contract and apparently didn't put up much of her own bread, especially in relation to what 1501 spent. Her bigger issue is that she allowed her 1501 projects to be labeled as "mixtapes" instead of an "album." They didn't count towards her 4 album deal.
Sadly, the only people she can really blame is her and her mom for not knowing how the business works.
60%?! 
if the contract language was deliberately manipulative than you can voice the contract.
she’s suing because they owe her an accounting of the money she’s brought in and they aren’t giving her thst
substandard contracts get voided all day every day in every type of business
