Meek Mill reminds us the record labels are still doing fine even if the artists aren't
Maybach Music Group’s Meek Mill understands how the game works and he’s pushing for some serious change. The hip-hop veteran has stepped up to reveal he’s made ‘only’ $11 million after 10 years in the music biz.
Meek Mill reminds us the music biz is still cutthroat
Just to be clear, Meek is talking about how much he made from the music side of things - not his side ventures and other opportunities. But facts are facts and it’s clear he’s big mad about the music industry still having a chokehold on how much an artist can make from the empire.
#askmeek I made 11 million dollars in 10 years from music ‘just music payments’ I was shocked mad and didn’t wanna really rap for any label … . Now I got a real point to prove to show you can survive without getting rapped!
One day I asked how much ‘going bad’ made just that song… . They said 24m I was like how much did I make? All I got was uhhhhhh lol im@like wtf I know all the financials to my other businesses lol I signed out lost all trust for that whole system!
Don’t give me a plaque give me the financial paper of how much the song I recorded for 20k made 20 million … not a award … I’m from the trenches I don’t want that shit I want a estate … I want my whole family tree to beat the ghetto!
