Meta dropping $16.7M to settle out of court is wild. If every other state starts pulling the same move, Meta might be looking at a very expensive headache. Feels like they’ve found another way to milk the billion-dollar company.
Running away from the 9–5 job, only to become a founder and realize you’ve created a 24/7 job for yourself. No clocking out, no weekends, just your vision, endless responsibilities, and the constant pressure to keep things moving.
Dear brother, sorry about this.
Bluntly put, the airline lied to you. Per Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023, when you are flown in a class below what you paid for, the airline is to immediately refund the difference via whatever means the ticket was purchased, and also pay a 30% compensation through whatever means is agreed to by the passenger.
If the airline has told you anything else, it is unacceptable and it is a brazen attempt to evade Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023.
Kindly demand the above from tbe airline (this is due process) and, should they fail to comply, file a complaint via https://t.co/nYk28xiuPm or send an email to [email protected][email protected][email protected]
He can’t do it all alone, at some point, he’ll still need a team, DJs, managers, labels, distribution, all of that, the difference now is control, Everything will be negotiated on his terms, not dictated to him.
A 13-year-old Canadian kid uploaded R&B covers to YouTube in 2008 from his bedroom. A talent manager named Scooter Braun stumbled on the videos and signed him.
For the next 15 years, Braun controlled everything. Tours, branding, business deals, public image. The kid became the biggest pop star on the planet, sold 150 million records, racked up 32 billion Spotify streams, and had three Diamond-certified singles before turning 25.
Then in 2022, he got hit with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Partial facial paralysis. Cancelled the world tour. Disappeared from public life entirely.
Here's where it gets interesting.
In January 2023, he sold his entire 290-song catalog to Hipgnosis for $200 million. Every song he'd ever released. "Baby." "Sorry." "Love Yourself." All of it. Gone. At 28 years old, he cashed out his past.
Then he dropped Scooter Braun. After 15 years. No manager. No agent. For the first time in his career, nobody was making decisions for him.
Fast forward to this weekend. Coachella calls. He picks up the phone himself. Rolling Stone confirmed he negotiated his own headlining deal directly with Goldenvoice. No agent commission. No manager cut. $10 million for two weekends, and he kept all of it.
Then he walked onto the biggest stage in music, sat down behind a MacBook, and pulled up YouTube.
He played "Baby" from 2010. He played his bedroom covers from 2008. He harmonized with his 13-year-old self in front of 100,000 people. Katy Perry joked about whether he had YouTube Premium.
Half the internet called it lazy. The other half called it genius.
They're both wrong. It was a receipt.
He sold his catalog for $200 million. He fired the man who discovered him. He negotiated his own deal. And then he went back to the exact platform where it all started and said: I built this from a laptop. I'm headlining Coachella from a laptop. And for the first time in my life, every dollar is mine.
The kid from YouTube just closed the loop.
When Burna Boy eventually gets married and has kids, his priorities will likely shift, he’ll have bigger responsibilities to handle than getting involved in unnecessary drama.
Kanye West is clearly a powerful force,Rockstar Energy, Pepsi, Diageo, and PayPal have all distanced themselves from the festival over one controversial figure.
