Ishaquine:im not making anything up cos I will have no gain in doing that, I follow both Peter and Paul on Instagram and I have listened to their interviews but if Peter had said anything different from insult on his wife Lola and what I wrote up there, please tell the whole world. I maintained that Peter was co-owner of PSquare and that PSquare didn't pay him but he shared with his brothers so anything May D said, Peter is included and Peter bringing up PSquare issue in Cynthia Morgan issue is childish. Peter should move on, he is not poor though musically Paul is ahead of him now, thank you. |

deltaprincess:lol ...why are u taking this kind of personal already tho? Well , last time I checked...labels do the approach most of the time... once they see u are doing well and would definitely go places...they come around to entice u with small piece of cake to steal your whole cake....so it's not by force too if they can't deal with the heat when trouble arise....they should leave artists alone... Wow just checked your PP...you're too Preety to have that much badbelle embedded in your heart tho |

Artiste are wiser now, they understand how the music business is run, thanks to technology, artiste can even bypass or most times don't need record label, hence the record label come to beg the artiste to sign with them. But it wasn't that way before and it killed a lot of careers, see the artiste under kennis music and other labels. It wasn't easy back then but people are wiser now. So I believe we will rarely have legal dispute this days |

janzguy: pls dont mistake the smell of common sense with anger... i do work with music so i have a pretty good idea when someone is getting fukced... Entertainment is more complex and complicated here in Nigeria. Unlike in the West were radio stations pay you to play your songs, in Nigeria you actually pay radio stations for your songs to be played. alright, Nigerian artists have to pay to get their songs on the radio, should these artists now be taken for a ride by their record labels?!?!? The typical Nigeria artiste sees record deals as a getaway from Poverty. Least we forget record labels are bigger risks than even an average company cos artistes might be a one hit Wonder!! mind you not every talented is bound to stay too long in stardom. Secondly out of 5 artistes in a label only 1 might blow.. What happens to the other 4?? They feed and live under the labels income. if the above was true, then nobody would open record labels left right and center.... and whether an artist blows or not is irrelevant to the issue at hand. here you are trying to make us feel sorry for the record label (while they are the one who choose their artist) AND, while we all know they make money from these artists. whether an artist blows or not is irrelevant to the issue at hand. again: you cannot praise the record label when an artist blows, but turn around and blame the artist if the artist doesnt blow Do you know why record labels always win?? It's because artistes are usually greedy and they don't care about what's in the contract, they only want that instant money the label has. They instantly hop on the big life, ride expensive cars, post fancy pics on social media and intimidate their old friends at the expenses of the label. They want all the big things immediately spend more more than they have generated. EVERYBODY wants to win in the music business, dont get it twisted... if you think artists sign these record deal because they love the record label then you best wake up. this is a business venture where EVERYONE is trying to succeed. the fact that you would expect ONLY the record label to succeed is where you are failing to understand this issue. YES, some artist want the flashy bling bling and get money advances from the label, but when the money is finally nrolling in, the record label deduct these advances from the artist cheques. so technically, nobody loses. now, if the artist took advance money and is not making any money then DONT blame the artist, blame the deluded record label who gave this "no good artist" an advance. what you wrote would be as stupid as a bank giving a 10M loan to a jobless man, and then turning around and blaming the jobless man when he cannot repay the loan. BWAAAAAAAH! A record label is like a normal company; you don't earn extravagantly at the expenses of the company regardless of whatever contribution you are bringing into the table. The company has to make more profit for you to live that life. Or have you ever seen a company were the workers live larger at the expense of the company? not even the CEO is allowed to do that!!! what the hell are you talking about? there is a contract in place and the artist should get EXACTLY what the contract says it should (and no a penny more/less), same with the record label.... whether the record label is making less money than the artist (or not) is IRRELEVANT to the issue at hand!!! tempem: sadly, this thread was probably created by one of the interns of one of these record labels... in their mind, they are not guilty of any wrongdoing whatsoever, while any smart person would easily see through their smokescreen BS. very simple questions to ask: - how can you invest 40M and after 3 years of receiving cheques from that established artist's revenue streams, she still owes you 40M?!? - how can a man write/produce/record songs for your label without a contract (for god knows how long), and when you finally offer him a BS contract that he refuses, you point fingers at him because you took him for shooping sprees in LV and made him sleep on the floor in your BQ while dashing him some pocket money ?! |

azpekuliar: Not just Cynthia. This whole matter and the opinions expressed by many 'neutral' people has exposed me to how wicked, ridiculously entitled, unreasonable, and morbidly ungrateful Nigerians are by default. Your papa for village no discover your mumu talent and help you blow, na stranger risk am take chance on you and bring you to limelight, otherwise you for die for obscurity, yet you come later dey do open eye. Help these fools at your own risk and to your own eternal regret. Personally, some people I was planning to invest in, so to say, would be incidental victims of this newfound realisation. All fucking called off. My brain dey touch like that. 2 Likes |

Possiblegee: Streaming from reputable stores like Apple, sportify, Amazon means you pay before streaming. Part of the money goes to the Artiste, while the other goes to the platform. But if you download for free, how will they make money from MB that you buy from MTN? Lol. I am telling you from experience. |

JessetariahMD: It is called Piracy. Abroad, they will arrest you if they catch the owners. Which is why most of them will sell their rights to Netflix and you can't see it anywhere on the internet. Or they sell to Cinemas, so you can only see Cinema dub on the internet. |

Re: Why A Record Label Should Never Be Blamed For A Musician's Down Fall by sureteeboy(m): 11:27pm On May 26, 2020 |
razible5384:From ads placement. Mostly Google ads and some other ads. Most of those ads are pay per click. So, once visitors click on them they earn a certain amount from those online advertising companies. Some of them also earn via donation. You must have noticed a donate button at one site or the other. Another means they earn is through premium subscription. For example, PSARIPS website will let you download videos from their web site without any advert if you can pay a certain amount |

lawyer: Do you also know that a source of trouble between an artist and his label can also be insincerity of Labels in telling the artist the truthful amounts coming in for recouping the invested money? You think the artist will be happy to find out that the Label may have recouped its money but is lying to him that it has not recouped? Even the additional money meant to be shared after recoup can also not be truthfully delivered in its actual amounts by the label owner too. |
