man if they doing all this for Love and hiphop

raqi is also a mega spiritual hoe so I take what she says with a grain of salt because she probably believe China puts plastic in uncooked rice or some other wild ass conspiracy s***

I also feel like she would just straight up lie about being involved lol she just seem like that type person

This is raqi's point of view on this

@NiGHTS

If that s*** is true its f***ed up.

But you cant tell me this ain't unusually convenient timing for Spotify.

dawg this just look like when a dude is trying to to talk to his ex-girl through her homegirl

what is even the point of raqi doing this

Damn. Im reading thru the texts tho and I dont see joe giving Raqi the go ahead to manage Cyn or anything. It just look like he’s trying to keep up with how his baby momma doing post breakup and with the lawyers and s***. but ima take my nose out they business now cause I feel weird lol

yeah she didnt really provide enough evidence for what she saying happened

and she has a stake in the s*** because she managed cyn's music. I know joe isn't blameless or whatever but she doin a lot lot

Since Joe claims that she leaked that phone call in his IG live video + alleged that she managed cyn to manipulate her etc
Well raqi just leaked her text messages to clear her name I guess
her story and Joe's story do not match up...

yeah but it doesn't clear up s*** we're just looking at this one part of a bigass dumbass argument

s*** weak

If a corporation does something shady to a s***ty person, we can/should question the corporation without making the s***ty person a “victim” or absolving them

Bill Simmons and Joe rogan have a history of domestic violence?

if you told me in 2003 the pump it up guy would be being talked about on a daily basis in 2020 I would not have believed you

How did you miss the point lmao
My point is that Spotify gave a quarter of a billion to these guys which is an overvaluation. Meanwhile Budden was one of the earliest signees and was the top podcast on Spotify for a long period

If they are in fact running a smear campaign because he rejected the contract then it’s gross when they were willing to overpay these other people who hadn’t already provided value to Spotify

The domestic violence part has absolutely no relevance Spotify were happy to sign him in the first place none of these are new allegations

your point literally made no sense whatsoever but ok brotherman
i have no idea who Bill Simmons is, but unless you have a deep understanding of a***ytics or somehow you have the information on How much money Joe rogan used to make before his Spotify Deal, i cannot possibly understand How could u come with the conclusion that hes being "overpaid", considering hes running the biggest podcast in the world. like lmao. Joe budden doesnt even come close to him

and the whole Spotify being behind all of this sounds like some conspiracy s*** ngl

You can absolutely say whether something is overvalued

And sure it’s a little conspiracyish but it’s weird that all this stuff is old news and is all getting pushed again this week
Weird timing

ok, so you think the Man whos running the biggest podcast in the world is being overpaid because of what exactly?

My bad I thought that deal was $250m but it was only $100m

Still shaky imo but not crazy

The Ringer however I think is definitely an overvaluation. Their only major draw as a network is Simmons who is massively smaller than Rogan. The highest ringer podcast on Spotify is currently #17

If this is a capitalist hit job he is most def a victim.

You right
