    In 2013 Drake moved from Bmi to ASCAP

    However ASCAP's awards were held today for Rap and Rnb. Going Bad won BUT Drake wasnt listed as any award winner for ASCAP

    So I did more digging and it turns out God's plan in 2019 also won Ascap awards and Cardo/1da/40 all got listed as Ascap writers EXCEPT for Drake

    So yall saw anything about what Drake did with his publishing? Is he handling it with another agency or is Universal handling it ??

    If he wasn't listed as a songwriter, it means another company handles his publishing.

    I have no idea. What do you think? Universal would be my guess. He is signed direct now

    Yeah but with who? And why? Everybody else in his camp is with ASCAP.

    My guess is that he sold his publising to universal for a huge upfront cheque

    I remember Tez said it was all a part of the plan. They took every meeting, got offers, dropped SFG, pushed BIEH and Successful to radio with their own money to create all the hype and leverage. They always knew where he was signing lol but they got everything they could out of Cash Money/Universal

    taking notes on this strategy that’s some king s*** cause some of the deals be like 2-4% publishing to the artist

    The whole interview is really insightful. This is about a year or 2 after the Wayne/Birdman stuff. Shows what could happen with multiple levels of entities involved. Dude ran YM and managed all of them for about 5 years

    Drake talk is somewhere in the middle like around the 30 minute mark
