Hector Posted Wednesday at 09:53 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:53 PM (edited) Olivier Chastan's acquisition vehicle Iconoclast has revealed its latest music rights deal. According to a press release issued by the company today (September 25), it has acquired the "publishing rights to the catalog of double platinum-selling and Grammy Award-winning hip hop artist Eve". Sources tell MBW that the transaction was an eight-figure deal, in the ballpark of between $25 million and $50 million. Source What Ya Want, Gotta Man, Love Is Blind, Who's That Girl, Let Me Blow Ya Mind, Gangsta Lovin', Satisfaction, & Tambourine all deserve that alone Edited Wednesday at 09:56 PM by Hector 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breathe On Moi Posted Wednesday at 09:55 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:55 PM love her but I knew she needed $ when the memoir came out of nowhere. all once major artists go through this I guess. worth way more but good for her 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helix Posted Wednesday at 10:04 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:04 PM Get that bag! And let's be honest this is more money than she would have ever made from her catalogue otherwise. Tbh these acquisitions are getting ridiculous. How does that company make that money back? Her streams aren't huge (no shade) and she probably sells barely any old albums. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrettyHurts Posted Wednesday at 10:19 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:19 PM It's great to be able to live off your legacy but also sad to sell away the rights 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourFavoriteWeapon Posted Wednesday at 10:21 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:21 PM No shade because I like her music but how is she worth that much? It makes me think of how Austin Mahone alluded to being set for life after selling his masters when he only had one moderate hit under his belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elementary Posted Wednesday at 10:48 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:48 PM Whoever they're hiring to put a price tag on music catalogues must be scamming them. No shade but how would anyone make 50M USD back (let alone profit) from Eve music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slw84 Posted Wednesday at 11:43 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:43 PM That's wonderful. Get money, Eve. I wasn't expecting it to be that high but I bet her catalog will be used a lot for throwbacks. I heard WHo's that girl in a commercial not too long ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
