Ofcourse artists get paid all the time for collabs.its strictly business,davido paid meek mills $100k for the song' FANS MI'.it doesn't also mean that choc city is broke for taking NAS to court now. Its just business.if you invest $50k on something and don't get what was promised you will also make moves to recover your funds.
It's not collab, MI is trying to bribe Nas to hail him.

That's what a great song is all about. Even though the song was released long ago but it's content still reflects the happenings around in our everyday life.

M.I is just mental slavering himself.
Abi nah...
$50k is a lotta money jus for ONE VERSE?

Hope U do know its as far back as 2013.. Its NAS we are talking about here, even in d US he gets paid to feature ...
Most rappers would pay to have Nas on their tracks



Who told he doesn't pay for his features? Every artiste trying to break into any market pays for features and wizkid is no different. Every Nigerian Artiste pays their American counterparts to get a feature..
wizkid doesn't

I think Chocolate City are broke, who knows how much Star Boy Entertainment are Paying now,but if they are not making huge income, they won't be paying that large amount of money to feature Artist

imagine Davido paid Meek Mill $250000 for his on his song, so 4 somebody of Mad calibre thats not 2 much for just the lyrics but not the feature

Please, don't make this kind of statement outside. If any artiste features in any song, he/she must be paid by the owner of the track.

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?

you are the one not reading well.
it was said there that Nas was supposed to deliver a verse to be added in MI's song.

That is how collaborations are done, you send the beat the rapper put his verse in, all from the comfort of your house.
That way you both don't have to be in a studio.

The now is that a exact theme was required for the verse but Nas delivered a generic verse excluding the requirements in the verse.

Read carefully.

Do your thing Choc boys.

If the original contract was well drawn up and duly executed by Nas' camp, Chocolate City will win this case and take some decent sum off Mass Appeal Records.

I truly hate it when talented artistes put themselves in harms way by share laziness. You picked up 50 gees since 2013 and can't flip 16 bars to date?? Going 4 years?? What will be Nas' excuse in court? The doe was fake or he has perennial sore throat??

Nas is not a Nigerian. His father was named "Oludara" when he visited Nigeria by a traditional priest.

No think say na Nigerian labels and their artist relations where you can be signed to a label and be acting outside their purview in matters that are supposed to be business.

There is no American artist that can feature in anybody's sing without a proper contract ... If he told you he didn't pay for features he is lying.

Artist don't own themselves when it comes to their music and how they go about it
