She is so irritating and cocky. I hate her attitude. No1 owes her a contract negotiation. She got some buzz and let Roc nation get in her head and tell her that she needs a new contract. I wouldn't renegotiate her contract either. She signed it and now she needs to honor it. She needs to humble herself. She hasn't even put out an album. Shes not signed to Roc Nation, they just manage her. Clearly they have good advice, and probably advised Meg to have them renegotiate(her 1501 contract), but Carl isn't ready to receive less money.

Why would he want to receive less money? LMAO. She needs to suck it up and deal with the bad deal she singed and make her money from shows or get someone to buy her out.

I probably said that wrong, but clearly Carl wants more, that's why hes holding her. J Prince is involved as well, so that could be the next step is for someone to buy the contract out. I hope Roc does that.

Mess. Young females are really preyed upon in the industry, I imagine it’s even messier for female rappers. I mean, Cardi is still in the middle of a lawsuit with her old manager over her record deal and Doja is signed to RCA which is scary and I only hope they don’t squander her current hype...
iRoc Nation can be hit or miss tho, they’ve been known to drop the ball a lot of times with some artists of their roster but I’m not sure if it’s the label or management side and the acts signed to them usually are already established names so it’s hard to gauge whether they actually create stars or just jump in when the groundwork is already kinda done.
Meg has the hype now so they really need to just throw whatever money at Carl/1501 at this point because time can kill her momentum if this keeps holding out.

Carl is obviously still salty that she signed with Roc Nation but also unwilling to admit that she needed them to get them both to the level she’s at now. 🤡 Why would Carl care that she got a manager? She didn't sign to Roc nation as a label and she clarified that in the video. Because he was managing her prior to and claimed he didn't know she was signing with Roc Nation until it was announced in the press.

I admittedly did not watch Megan's video so maybe I'm interpreting all the articles and posts wrong, but what I am getting from this is that Carl not only said no to the renegotiation but (supposedly) went to the extreme and is refusing to let her put out any music at all. Am I reading that right? If so, that doesn't make sense no matter how I try to slice it. It doesn't sound like she was trying to leave the label completely so why trip...that's like your boss cutting your salary to zero just bc you asked for a raise. Hella unprofessional (and in any industry but entertainment, illegal). Just tell her a negotiation is not on the table until the end of the contract and keep releasing (and banking from) the music. Megan didn't handle her business properly, but Carl is clearly being in his feelings about it for some reason and those feelings are not in proportion to the situation. I have my own thoughts as to what that reason is but that's neither here nor there.
I'm wondering what even made Megan think to ask for a renegotiation or who advised her to do so because it's not really standard, especially so early in the career. You usually only hear about things like that when an artist has had a really strong first album or two and reached either the option period or the end of their contract.

Roc Nation made Megan aware about the discrepancies in her contract when they looked over them. They are one of the main management groups that look out for their artists financially.

Thank Goodness!! I hope JPrince don't get his mobass heavily involved. As I said earlier. I feel Jay and whomever on the team is probably gonna just buy out her contract with Carl, and then maybe a full Roc Nation move?

Poor Meg, so many artists getting screwed, the industry does not give a single F about artists only the coin they make off them.

This is the same chick who just said Fuck You to all the people who flew I don't know how many miles and paid Lord knows how much for hotels just to see her...because she took too long to get ready and missed her set time? LOL.

They keep mentioning the 40% but not what has to come out of that percentage or whether that is just pure profit. If they are taking 60% of the revenue AFTER paying producers and whatnot I would be fine, but if that is off the top and Megan has to shell out of her remaining 40% for the creation of her projects, than that is some bullsh!t. Also get out of everybody's business J. Prince! Multiple people have claims about his intimidation tactics so he can cut the BS with this sweet innocent demeanor. Drake already derailed that train during the Pusha T conflict.

A mess, they really are robbing her if she has to use that 40% to pay for basically the entire making of her songs
Which is fucked up no matter how you look at it, hope she wins this

Yikes, that deal is horrendous but I’m happy she’s getting to release her shit. A lot of labels probably feel they’re doing new artists a favor by pumping money (even their earnings) back into them/promoting them etc and that the artist should be grateful for the exposure and that the 360-esque dealings are necessary. Mess.
