Nelly joins the club - sells 50% of catalog for $50M to HarbourView Equity Partners

[CHICAGO]

People keep comparing how much one person got against how much another person got...

You can only compare the prices if both artists each own 100% of their own music.

What if Logic owns more of his own music than Nelly owns of his?

DO NOT IGNORE THIS POST...

THIS IS THE CORRECT ANSWER...

PLUS NELLY FROM AN ERA
WHEN ARTISTS WERE GETTING RAPED
AND TRICKED INTO
SELLING PUBLISHING.

Cacs love Hot In Here....Nelly got lowballed

 

[Sauce Dab]

He sold his catalog for 50% ownership, not full control so y’all getting too caught up on that 50 million part. He would’ve got more if he gave 100%

 

[Easy-E]

No, 50 million is more than I'll likely see in this lifetime but it's like Hov said, only dudes moving units is Em, Pimp Juice and us. Nelly was that nikka for a hot ass minute.

We are all remembering his run and it just seems super low breh, that's all.

Remember it's "half" his catalogue.

Excuse Me Miss came out in 2003

After that he had Sweat, Suit that went 4x platinum, but, that was some double album fukkery, And he had a Gold album.

Nelly's career as a chart topper was over before 2005 ended.

I'm a Nelly apologist and for HALF his catalogue, he's being more than paid well

Hit records aren't mailbox money, you've got the have the proper infarstructure to make money off it

Ask yourself why ALL BLACK LEGENDS families end up selling to a record label...except maybe Marvin Gaye's family

Plus OPPORTUNITY COST, Nelly better off getting 50 mil, now and investing and living off it, instead of maybe making a few million more by the time he's 70 years old.

50 million, now = doesn't have to do another show, interview, long ass international show

Sit at home, pay the taxes and spend

50M seems like a low number for Nelly.

not really.. all of his music is heavy samples, multiple writers, probably doesnt own a big %.... and lots of the 2000's music didnt age well.

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

so they are saying his catalog is worth $100 million …. Yet Logic’s is $60-$80 million

My most recent post about Nelly which I later recanted when I had learned his first album was mostly his demo which was produced by someone closed to him

Didn't that 60-80m figure come from Say Cheese? They're not credible. Most other sources just said Logic got an undisclosed 8 figures. It could be higher or lower than what Nelly got for his 50%.

This. For whatever reason, the coli thinks these rappers are making 20 mil a year off streaming. Meanwhile in other threads when it comes to sales numbers, they bring up how artists make all their money from touring. This is a great deal for Nelly . 50% for 50 mil, still gets some revenue off streaming and can do more with that money than he could waiting on a pub check.

White folks getting raped by streaming

Taylor Motherfukka Swift complained about royalty payouts

T-Pain was the hottest nikka on Planet Earth at the same time with Prime Kayne, Prime Wayne and he says he made more off fukking Twitch than he did the music industry

 

[kingjones29]

Seems low for Nelly. He was literally the hottest rapper on the planet for a couple years

that wasn’t a couple of years ago, nelly was hot 20 years ago. That’s a win for him

Yup, if nelly invest that money right, he can turn 50 million into 150m.

dilemma, ride wit me and hot in herre still streams big numbers till this day.

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Coli accountants always know what the artist should’ve got

 

[BK The Great]

Not bad for an irrelevant artist, but people will still listen to his stuff especially on commercials and movies where his music will probably land on.

 

[IIVI]

Cats acting like $50 mil for 50% is an L.

Remember, that ain't all he's made from music.

Plus that's $50 mil for making music.
