The financial aspect of a lot of these deals are worked out by the artists' business departments and record labels. Lot of financial shenanigans go in behind the scenes.

90% of nairalanders don't read before they comment. The article didn't say collaboration, it said something else which you guys didn't see. They wanted Nas to mention M.I's name on a verse on his own song and not a collaboration. Lmao, 3 Years ago though, all these artists and fake life. M.I wanted to tell the whole world that Nas knows and recognizes him. Imagine if you listened to a song from Nas and you hear M.I's name, won't you be very happy that a rapper like Nas recognized M.I?

Apart from the lyrics, he didn't include what they wanted him to, that's why they are suing him.

he paid a legend for a verse. that's how it's done.

before you criticise, how much did davido pay meek mill when they did a song?

in the music scene, you pay to get a verse from a bigger rapper except the bigger man likes you and stones it in for free.

NAS is a rap legend so having him on track is a big deal for any rapper and especially MI
