Music industry relationships are complex.
You will "my bro" with some people for years and they will never extend you an act of kindness or see an opportunity and think of you.
And there are some you know for two months and they give you chances that change your life.

AfroJeet literally means “Afro Win” in Hindi. 🤷♀️
Dropping another AfroJeet right here. ✌️
Dear Indian brothers and sisters,
Congratulations to me: I am officially the first in my bloodline to be called an "Afrojeet." 🤦♂️
And it’s simply for stating I have worked side-by-side with many Indians, and not a single one ever smelled.
You don't have to be Indian to stand against these outdated racist stereotypes; you just need to be human enough.
This is a message of truth worth spreading across the world.
Slurs don't silence truth @AsianDigest

If you sign a record deal, don’t recoup, and the label releases you from your contract, you owe them nothing. They can’t garnish future wages or foreclose on your property, and your credit score isn’t affected. If you take out a bank loan and fail to repay it, you’re f**ked. 🧵
Why tf would any artist sign a 5 album deal for a $100k advance in 2026 when brand deals, bank loans & crowd funding exist?
Wake up. These people in these buildings do not know how to break your single. They take that marketing budget and go contract someone your age to execute the campaign. Might as well get rid of the middle man and own your art.

I’ve been talking about this for years.
Black music cannot thrive without investment, and it cannot thrive when the people who understand the culture are not inside the buildings where decisions get made.

Hip-hop is being deprioritized by major labels. We've seen layoffs of Black execs, and there are fewer people in key roles who understand how to market the music. Artists considering a deal: make sure you’re partnering with a team that understands and can execute your vision.

I asked a longtime day-to-day artist manager, who has worked with several superstar acts over 20+ years, what people don't understand about the job:
"Your job is to improve the human experience. My primary concern is the psychological well-being of the artist and their team."
