When you’re dealing with a scandal of epic proportions, rushing to speak is always a bad idea. Some issues require a long game mindset like a chess game
I just got an unsolicited scam message from this number +234 813 612 5813
They shared a fake PVC registration link requesting my occupation, address, email, phone number etc.
This is how scammers and kidnappers harvest data @inecnigeria@PoliceNG@OfficialDSSNG
THE FIVE STAGES OF EVERY AFROBEATS CONTRACT FIGHT
Stage 1: Nobody Has Money
Artist is struggling.
Label is taking a risk.
Everyone is friends.
Everyone is family.
Everyone is excited.
The artist thinks:
“This person changed my life.”
The label thinks:
“I’m investing in the future.”
No problems yet.
Stage 2: The Label Invests
The label spends money on:
* studio sessions
* producers
* videos
* accommodation
* feeding
* transportation
* marketing
* PR
* radio
* influencer campaigns
The artist sees success.
The label sees expenses.
This is where perspectives begin to differ.
Stage 3: The Artist Blows Up
Now the artist becomes famous.
Streams increase.
Shows increase.
Brand deals arrive.
Fans arrive.
Money arrives.
Now a new thought enters the artist’s mind:
“Why am I giving these people so much money?”
This is where most problems begin.
Stage 4: Contract Review
The artist finally reads the contract properly.
They discover things like:
* ownership of masters
* revenue splits
* term length
* options
* exclusivity
* publishing clauses
Then they become angry.
Stage 5: War
Suddenly:
* songs disappear
* lawsuits appear
* interviews start
* fans take sides
* social media explodes
The relationship collapses.
@kingbollei That being said, I have some time, I think I should look through your timeline and see how many community guidelines you have flouted. Selah!
@kingbollei@aproko_doctor I’ve not insulted you, I’ve made a statement of fact. You accused someone falsely and despite contrary evidence being provided, you haven’t retracted your statement or apologized. I wonder if this is a pattern or the format you use to earn coins on Twitter, but it’s wrong
