Prosecutor calls Kewon White a “broke ass” during closing arguments — then hits the courtroom with MO3’s lyrics:
“Everybody ain’t yo friend, everybody ain’t yo patna.” 👀
Ray Daniels has told this story on multiple podcasts because it’s one of the cleanest examples of how “pop splits” versus “urban splits” actually change the check‼️.
The song is Nicki Minaj’s “Only” from *The Pinkprint* (2014) — the one with Drake, Lil Wayne, and Chris Brown on the hook‼️. Official writers are Nicki, Drake, Wayne, Dr. Luke, Cirkut, JMIKE, Theron Thomas, and Timothy Thomas (the R. City brothers)‼️.
Ray Daniels manages/works with the Thomas brothers‼️. His team wrote the hook and Chris Brown’s sung part‼️. Nicki wrote her verse; Drake and Wayne wrote theirs. Chris Brown was paid as a featured artist and, according to Ray, did not take a writer’s share the same way the others did‼️.
They did the record with Dr. Luke. Luke’s rule in the room was simple: there are seven writers on this song, so we split the publishing seven ways‼️. Everybody walks with roughly 13–14 percent‼️. Because Ray had *two* writers on the record (Theron and Timothy), his side left with about 26–27 percent‼️.
He contrasts that with what usually happens on the urban/hip-hop side. The producer often takes 50 percent off the top‼️. Then the big features come in with their standard deal: a flat fee *plus* a set publishing percentage (Ray has used examples like 17.5 percent) no matter how many other people are on the record‼️. After Nicki, Drake, Wayne, and Chris Brown’s teams all take their cuts, the original writers are left fighting over the scraps — sometimes 5–10 percent total‼️. Ray has said that if they had done “Only” with a typical urban producer instead of Luke, he probably would have walked with something closer to 5–10 percent after the fight‼️.
That’s the point he keeps making: same song, same contribution, completely different math depending on whose room you’re in and whose rules you play by‼️. The pop-style equal split is why he still talks about owning a real piece of a Nicki/Drake/Wayne/Chris Brown record more than a decade later‼️💯.
