    around 4 mins in he voluntarily brought up the fact that the cease and desist is real, he wasn't asked about it.
    interesting to note 4batz and Sexxy Redd are also on this label

  • Drake not following Larry on IG

    The running theory is, Drake owns a slice of GAMMA. So Artists that are signed to them EG Rick Ross, French, Sexyy Red, 4Batz, Drake gets a % of their publishing. Could also explain spending so much time with Sexyy Red and the 4Batz feature. Might also explain why Ross is so salty.

    Similar theory about Drake and UMG. Let’s just say UMG have many big artists under their bracket, many who have recently chosen the side of Metro.

    This theory started on the Joe Budden podcast. Whatever your views are on him or his podcast, it’s an interesting theory and it’s quite plausible when you think about it.

    This ain’t even a new theory. A couple of years ago the same thing was being said about Quality Control

    Thank you for this

    Could not figure out wtf Joe and them were tryna say with this on their show

    Its interesting that Kendrick could genuinely have a purely rap issue and theyre just latching on with this lol. Kendrick could expose/say he doesnt stand with them niggas and really make this WW3 lol

    Who was the artist that would own some of it? Drake still?

  • A LOT of his lyrics are starting to make more sense after this rumor

  • French what at his tour after the album came out

    its bs

    If you seriously think Drake is championing Sexxy Red like he is just because he "fucks with her" and not for any financial incentive... When he doesn't even do that for any of his own OVO artists.........

    like he doesn't make money of the OVO artists too. Why ain't he doing all that for them

    That's the big question. He doesn't give any of them more than a story post at most. From Drake Sexxy has gotten features, tour looks, music video appearances, multiple main IG page posts, etc. He absolutely has some type of Gamma connection that isn't public knowledge. It makes perfect sense tbh.

    "act ii: date @ 8” was released through Vydia, a music tech company which is now part of the Larry Jackson-helmed gamma; this marks another win for Vydia, which also brought in Sexyy Red, one of last year’s few genuine breakouts.)"

    Mind you, the Billboard article that quote came from (billboard.com/business/record-labels/singer-4batz-major-label-bidding-war-viral-hit-song-1235589973) dropped way before we knew of any Drake feature coming or seeing 4batz at one of his shows. Gamma essentially is providing "distribution" and other services to the most popping indie up and comers in music via Vydia (which they own). It's essentially an elite minor league system and they can pick through whatever important a***ytics they want to.

    Not listening to Fat Albert who 🧢 most of the time his opinions are meaningless.

  • Joe Budden is so trash. Dude just makes up theories and everyone believes them.

    Nobody was saying Drake was getting a % of Kendrick or other's publishing so that quoted tweet is foolish. Drake getting a cut via Gamma doesn't have to be publishing based at all lol

    This is good for the game no?

  • Ross said this was a lie

    If it was true Ross would have used it as an angle or maybe he was just don't wanna be a rapperwho works for another rapper who came after him
