Nobody wants to hear this but it needs to be said. He was a freelance contractor. Not an employee. Freelancers don't get severance. That's the deal when you work 1099. The real issue is 20+ years of high-level income with no financial cushion built underneath it. That's not Beyoncé's fault. That's a financial literacy gap. When you're making great money, that's the time to invest, save aggressively, and build passive income so that when the work stops — and it always stops eventually — you're not dependent on someone else's loyalty. This isn't about Beyoncé. This is about what happens when you build someone else's empire for 20 years and forget to build your own.
