KatyPrismSpirit Posted February 3 Posted February 3 That's great for her. I'm happy Warner is backing her and she remains in control of her work now.
FOCK Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Also, this happened a month ago, ain’t no “today hotties!”. 1

KeshaSwift Posted February 3 Posted February 3 She keeps winning ain’t she. Good for her, well deserved.

Well Tamar, if you watched the videos, he worked for Atlantic & Universal & was responsible for drafting & overseeing artist contracts. If you don’t want to listen to him, then here’s Lyor: Meg is a great talent, but is not some exceptional, generational powerhouse that could just have the industry bow down to her whims & favour or readily accept losing out. What even would be the incentive? And that this happened a month ago & is being conveniently re publicised now? It gives transparent. Sorry but with their greedy record, I can’t fathom it’s as favourable to Meg as is being made out. But I hope it works out for her. Edited February 3 by FOCK 13

justin. Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Megan making that flop ass song more outdated each day, and it hasn't even been a week. Meg deserves this! I hope she is feeling great.

You're quoting a conspiracy theory from a Nicki stan Twitter account (just look at all of the account's top tweets) with zero hard facts that pertain specifically to Megan. Is this really the best you have? It screams desperation. 2 3

You could completely ignore the accounts additional commentary & take into consideration the sources being provided & what they have to say & walk away with the same conclusion. The account itself isn’t relevant. The source broke down exactly how these corps operate, so unless you’re going to present a reasonable rebuttal, I’m more inclined to believe people from the heart of the industry, than publicity spins & fans? And it now sounds like she’ll be doubley indebted, both to Warner & Roc. It’s nothing to do with Onika. Every artist deserves to own their work & not be taken advantage of by predatory business practices, & I hope that’s the case for Meg, too. I just don’t believe Roc Nation & Warner woke up one day and just “saw the light” - specifically for Meg. Edited February 3 by FOCK 3

The Twitter account @Q4quise is still pushing the conspiracy theory that Tory Lanez did not shoot Megan, even though he's currently serving his 10 year sentence because all of the evidence showed that he did shoot her. This account has zero credibility. None. @Q4quise also being a Nicki stan account doesn't make any of their conspiracy theories true, but I understand this is easier to grasp for people who are not Nicki stans. All I'm asking is for you to vet your sources a little better instead of blindly making leaps of faith for anyone who supports Nicki. 6
ForgottenSoul Posted February 3 Posted February 3 (edited) This is like the perfect contract not sure why people mad , she has full control but has a label that backs her up? It's perfect Edited February 3 by ForgottenSoul

Again, the sources are Lyor himself & the guest from the Hip Hop Uncensored podcast. The additional commentary and which account happened to repost, isn’t relevant. J Cole, Rihanna & Jay Z himself and we’re supposed to be convinced Meg got the better end of the deal than any of them? And mind you, she was not coming to the table with any leverage. Everything linked aside, we now know from Meg herself that she’s signed a deal with Warner that covers distribution, radio promotion & marketing, AND she’s represented by Roc Nation for management & their own distribution services & project funding. How is all this debt & advances being recouped? And where is the line drawn for someone to claim “independent”? It’s a sweet high right now, but she’ll be having to pay these entities back, and with no established record of selling power, I fear she is being taken advantage of, once again. But hey, time will tell. Edited February 3 by FOCK 1
Archetype Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Lmao this is the best deal anyone could have hoped for, she’s really one of a kind
SomeGirl Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Happy for Meg, but it’s a disservice to truly independent artists to call artists who have deals with major labels independent. And this doesn’t just apply to Meg, I’ve seen it with a number of artists recently. If you have access to a major label’s budget, promotion, and marketing…you’re not an independent artist. There are plenty of artists who have creative control that are signed to majors, and we don’t call them independent. This also seems like the same kind of deal Beyoncé has for her Parkwood imprint with Sony, for example, and I don’t think we call Beyoncé independent? Major label deal structures are changing, hopefully for the better…master ownership, distribution & marketing deals, etc, are more and more common….but that certainly doesn’t make the artists independent.

I don't care about some random podcast with people talking about Megan's business when they have no first-hand knowledge whatsoever. If you go to YouTube and look up "Megan Thee Stallion Warner" you'd find hundreds of commentators saying that Megan is staying independent, so why should I believe this particular nobody who was hand-selected by a conspiracy theorist Nicki stan over anyone else?
unino Posted February 3 Posted February 3 YASSSSSSSSS MEG!! i'm so ******* happy for her to finally getting things her way! like for real she FOUGHT for herself like nobody else. it's satisfying af to witness this cheer bish 1
dawnettakins Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Not her showing Nicki how it's done like it ain't nothing, one time after another after another this week. Ended Petty!

I feel you. I worked at a major label and there were many “indie artists” that signed to majors but kept it on the hush. Seen it with my own eyes, in black and white. People are getting creative with the term “indie” for sure. But either way, I’m just glad she not with her last label. So nothing can stop her success now. And that’s all that matters ultimately, imo. Because 1501 ****** her over real bad. 1
