orangetcovidUMG is not a publicly traded company so theres that.
UMG is owned by 3 different companies so finding out their worth would be tedious.
So lets use Warner, the less of the Big 3 in the music industries. They are owned by Access Industries with a market cap of 57 billiion.
UMG is way bigger but we will assuming they have the same market cap.
Drakes deal of 500 million is 0.63% of the market cap. In what world do you think someone like that would have the power to call the shots other than profit off of it.
Also why would you think he put all the money they gave him back into the company. Or are you saying they gave him all that money just so he can control other artists???Went public in 2021

Cole2It’s cray how much he got it on lock
Big money and media behind him crazy
Drake been carrying the rap game for almost 20 years now I think if anyone deserves this it's him besides ain't this what niggas like Hov Nas and others strive for I'm proud of drizzy and don't think this should be looked at in a negative light although I know that's inevitable
Good s*** tho OP this is great research

Apr 17, 2024I gave it a read op but I'm not sure what the big scoop is. Gamma is promoting their artists the same way every other label does? I love plants getting exposed as much as the next guy but I'm not seeing any smoking gun. But of course you said you're just connecting dots for now, hopefully we get real hard evidence because this could either be huge or a whole lot of nothing. Keep op updated

yungkingThe Weeknd, Kendrick And Metro’s labels are all under UMG which allegedly Drake has some stake in
And Joe Budden mentioned that Drake allegedly almost stopped the Tems record on Future’s last solo album and it was only cleared when Drake got on it.
This not even true lmao
Tems only wanted to be on the record if drake was on it - Apr 17, 2024

Smacked VoodooThere is money to be saved and made off AI. We are living in a world where whole film studios were tryna replace actors, writing crew, animators, etc with AI just for the sake of money. The moment these labels can find a way to exploit AI and not have to pay artists they will jump on that s*** instantly. It'd be naive to think otherwise.
And regards to that 4batz singing s*** that can very easily be made fake too lmao we literally live in a world where Milli Vanilli existed. Again, don't be naive to this s***.
They're already exploiting AI on streaming services. If I had my thread-making privileges I could make a thread about it.
Look into all those faceless tik tok artist like bbygirl and skitzu
they're making A.I versions of stolen songs that already exist and they are blowing up bigger than the original songs on tik tok
skitzu did it with Glorilla's new song "Yeah Glo!"
the original artists are credited on each release, but if you click on their name it'll just bring you to a dead account with the same profile picture as SkitzU. This is done to hide unassuming TikTok users from the reality that they are listening to stolen material, yet SkitzU doesn't even bother editing the song to make it a little bit different, it's just a direct lift of the original track.
