“I’m so over this—everything and everyone—but it feels like things are finally falling into place. And honestly, it’s not just about getting rid of Drake; it’s about taking down whoever they thought was in charge. Take Sony for example, and Tommy Mottola—he’s the president of the Record Division—he’s been called mean, racist, and downright shady.
This affects more than just Drake. Every artist under that label is caught up in it, and things are looking real suspicious. Drake’s in hot water, and Kanye West just dropped some major info that’ll make you rethink everything you thought you knew about the music industry. Kanye’s out here warning Drake that his own label, Universal Music Group, might be setting him up. And we’re not talking about a minor issue—this is some Michael Jackson and Prince-level conspiracy talk.
Before we jump into all that though, let’s rewind a bit. Remember when Drake signed that massive deal with UMG back in 2021? Everybody was buzzing about how he secured a $500 million deal. Drake was on top of the world, thinking he’d hit the ultimate payday. But now it’s looking like that money came with some serious strings attached—strings that could choke him if he’s not careful.
What Drake signed wasn’t just any regular deal—it was a 360 deal. And if you don’t know, 360 deals are no joke. They’re basically the music industry’s way of owning you. The label gets a cut of everything—merch, tours, endorsements—you name it, they’re taking a piece. You’re locked in.
Drake probably thought he outsmarted the system at first, but word on the street is that he’s starting to realize he might’ve played himself. That’s where Kanye steps in. He’s been sounding the alarm for a while, calling out these big labels for being shady. Kanye’s even hinted that they might take drastic measures—like getting rid of you—if you become too much of a problem.”
When Kanye West talks about taking out artists, he’s not mincing words. He’s clearly pointing at what happened to Michael Jackson and Prince. It might sound outlandish, but the evidence is starting to add up. Let’s dig into it.
First up, Michael Jackson. The King of Pop wasn’t just clashing with Sony over his music rights—he was accusing them of trying to end his life. He even held up a sign on stage that said “Sony kills music.” Then, just as he was about to go independent, he suddenly dies. Seems a bit too coincidental, don’t you think?
This issue is significant because Black artists have been exploited for years. It’s time we confront this serious injustice. As Al Sharpton has pointed out, pioneers like James Brown and Sammy Davis Jr.—who inspired so many, including myself—had to keep touring or risk going broke. The record companies have long schemed against their artists, especially Black ones, through theft and deceit.
Things took a strange turn before Jackson’s death. His personal doctor, Conrad Murray, gave him a propofol injection to help him sleep. On June 25, 2009, Murray left Jackson alone after the injection, and when he came back, Jackson wasn’t breathing. Murray delayed calling 911 for almost an hour and a half. By the time help arrived, Jackson was already gone. Officially, it was a propofol overdose, but many fans weren’t buying it. Jackson had been saying for years that people were out to get him. He even told his sister, La Toya, that he felt someone was after him.
La Toya Jackson has said, “Michael told me they were going to murder him. He was afraid for his life—the people involved in his life, the people controlling him.”
Now, let’s talk about Prince. He spent years fighting Warner Brothers to gain control of his masters. He even changed his name to a symbol to mess with them. After finally regaining control, he died from what was deemed an “accidental” overdose. It’s hard not to see the parallels here.
Prince was vocal about the industry’s attempts to keep artists down. He once said, “Since my third album, I stopped taking large advances from record companies. I recorded my albums myself in my own studio, believing that since I paid for it and created it, it should belong to me. The companies disagreed, holding up contracts and saying, ‘You signed it.’ It’s the same old story.”
Both Michael Jackson and Prince had a sense that something was wrong and spoke out about it. Their sudden deaths only fuel suspicions that there’s more to the story than what we’re being told.
Alright, let’s dive into the latest drama with Drake and Universal Music Group (UMG). So, remember when Drake tried to drop that huge 100-gigabyte data dump? UMG didn’t waste any time hitting it with a copyright strike. But this isn’t just about some unreleased tracks; it’s a battle for control. Drake’s recent beef with Kendrick Lamar has gotten seriously intense. Kendrick’s not just dissing Drake’s lyrics—he’s hinting at some really dark stuff about Drake and the whole industry.
It all kicked off when Kendrick threw some heavy accusations at Drake and his OVO crew. We’re talking beyond the usual rap beef—Kendrick’s suggesting there’s some seriously shady stuff going on, maybe even hinting at illegal activities. And it’s not just Drake he’s targeting—Kendrick’s implying that this mess could even reach up to UMG’s CEO, Lucian Grainge. Yeah, the same Lucian Grainge who got dragged into that wild lawsuit involving Diddy, which allegedly included hidden cameras and blackmail material on everyone from celebrities to politicians.
In that lawsuit, filed by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, Grainge was reportedly seen visiting Diddy’s places late at night, and they’d disappear into Diddy’s bedroom for hours. Lil Rod also claimed Grainge was at these secret “listening parties” where some pretty sketchy stuff was rumored to be happening. According to Lil Rod, Diddy had dirt on everyone, including recordings of powerful people doing who-knows-what, and Grainge was allegedly part of keeping this operation running.
UMG managed to dodge major fallout from the lawsuit, but now Kendrick is stirring up more trouble with Drake. UMG is sweating bullets, trying to keep Drake under control because they’ve got a lot riding on him. Drake’s in a tough spot, trying to deal with Kendrick’s attacks while managing his relationship with UMG.
Kanye West’s warnings about Drake seem to be hitting closer to home. After the scandals involving Michael Jackson and Prince, Kanye’s advice seems pretty relevant. He’s suggesting that Drake’s situation might be a lot more precarious than it looks, especially given the industry’s track record of dealing with troublemakers.
Kanye’s remarks highlight some serious questions about the music industry’s darker side. With Kendrick’s accusations and UMG’s involvement, there’s definitely more going on behind the scenes. Kendrick’s tracks have been dropping cryptic hints about industry corruption, and if you put it all together, it paints a pretty unsettling picture.
Instead of backing off, Drake has actually escalated the situation by bringing Kendrick’s family into the mix. Kendrick didn’t hold back in response—he’s accused Drake of some serious wrongdoing and even threatened to expose more industry secrets.
For Drake, the stakes are incredibly high. UMG, with all its power and influence, might decide he’s more trouble than he’s worth. If Drake keeps pushing, he risks uncovering secrets that could be dangerous for him. But if he backs down, he might sacrifice his credibility and creative freedom.
This isn’t just about Drake anymore. It’s shining a light on some seriously ugly stuff in the music industry and making fans question what really goes on behind closed doors. The drama has fans buzzing and the comment sections are on fire, reflecting the widespread interest and concern about these unfolding events.
First up, let’s talk about this comment that’s seriously unsettling: “Drizzy better hope he doesn’t become worth more dead than alive.” Yikes. It’s got that creepy thriller vibe, but this isn’t fiction—it’s real life, and it’s chilling.
Then there’s this insightful take on Prince: “Prince fought hard to get out of his contract and secure his own publishing. Drake messed up with his contract deal.” Prince wasn’t just fighting for himself; he was trying to show the whole industry how things should be done. Did Drake take that advice to heart? Looks like he might’ve been too busy enjoying his success to pay attention.
And Kanye’s fans are out here dropping their own truth bombs. One fan simply said, “Kanye is telling the truth.” Kanye’s always been outspoken, but this time, he might be revealing some hard-hitting truths that could have real consequences.
It’s clear that the fans are rattled, and honestly, they should be. This is no longer just about music. We’re diving into some serious stuff—life, death, hidden agendas, and a lot of money.
So, what’s going to happen next? Will Drake back off and follow UMG’s rules? Will he keep pushing his limits and risk it all? Or will he try to find a middle ground that lets him keep his career without selling out?
And what about Kendrick? Is he really going to go through with exposing the industry? If he does, what kind of chaos could that unleash?
One thing’s for sure: This story isn’t over. If Kanye’s right and there’s something shady going on behind the scenes, we might be just scratching the surface of something really dark.
