AHHHH FUCK BLACKGROUND RECORDS
MY GIRL GOT HER MASTERS BACK!!!!
JoJo officially owns her first TWO albums again.
After paying to re-record her first albums when BLACKGROUND played in her face during their re-launch, she owns her albums again.
This is a HUGE.
This is amazing for indie artists and another step in the right direction for ownership.
Congratulations to The Platinum Clover herself. She deserves this.
This paired with a 20th anniversary tour of THE HIGH ROAD is massive.

My only experience with Ethan Klein was when he sicced his followers on me when I called out his closed-minded BTS commentary and he said I looked like a nazi aryan (ironic, since I'm Jewish too) but he always came off as someone who projects his insecurities onto others. Now he's caught having an affair with his wife, business partner and mother to his children (also ironic after how much he came for other influencers for bad behavior and cheating). Such a shame and I feel for the kids who are innocent in this.
