Meek Mill Threatens To Release Details of Record Deal
Meek Mill accused his record label of mismanaging him, threatening to make the details of his record deal public in a tweet on Monday.
In a now-deleted tweet, the rapper accused the label of not paying him for his music, noting that he doesn’t know how much money the label has made off him.
“I haven’t been paid for music and I don’t know how much money labels make off me!!!!! I need lawyers Asap!” Meek wrote. He also said that he plans on revealing his deal to the public to expose the alleged bad business being done.
“Ask the record label? How much have you spent on me as an artist? Then you ask how much have you made off me as an artist? I’m about to make my record deal public by Monday just to let the world see what these people are on!!!”
He also went on to note that he was willing to fight for everything he deserves.
Responding to Theshaderoom post on Meek Mill’s tweet, Keyshia Cole commented “Never received a check from any record label, period. But I just thought about that the other day. There’s nothing wrong with Obtaining Audit Attorney’s [sic] so that you’re aware of where every dollar went. Trust me. A lot gets ‘Lost in the sauce.’”
Tyrese also commented, “Most of us who were signed 20 years ago should ALL DEMAND OUR MASTERS be reverted to u. Yeah, I said it by Dec 2022; I will own 5 of my masters from releases over the years…… Speak upon it, or they will keep collecting off of your body of work….”
Meek’s tweets come just as he plans to drop his fifth studio album, Expensive Pain. However, it is unclear whether Meek is referring to Atlantic or his deal under Maybach Music Group.
