Teletubby 114,911 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Drake reportedly became the first artist in Spotify history to surpass 75 billion collective streams, and used the moment to call out Spotify. “We should get bonuses like athletes to motivate the future artists to be consistent and competitive,” he wrote in an Instagram Story resharing a graphic that looks to be from Spotify, but which the streamer does not appear to have shared on its official accounts. “So feel free to send me a LeBron sized cheque. I have enough dinner plates.” To drive his point home even further, the rapper punctuated the thought with a laughing emoji and heart with an arrow running through it, and made sure to tag Spotify’s Instagram handle, too. source i'm just a baby and @Juanlittlem is my ❀*·ꕤ. ☁️eternal enemy🌩️。˚❀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agunimon 19,911 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Completely out of touch with the working class right now. Massive layoffs in a number of industries, tons of companies not doing pay raises to even accommodate the cost of living, recession seemingly approaching, and he's out here asking for bonus checks from platforms. Take it up with your label and not your Instagram following. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luv u Sum 2,149 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 i think that's very fair maybe not for the reason he's sayyingggg but spotify does not pay artists enough and if someone like drake is bringing so much money to spotify then they should be compensated as such Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the plastix doll 50 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 It's perfectly fair for artists to get bonuses especially considering how much the label actually takes from the artist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people suffering are artists who don’t get the advertisement on Spotify that mainstream artists get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how much it takes to promote an artist. The advertising costs alone are substantial Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TortureMeOnReplay 4,966 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Does he send bonuses to the artists he sampled? Or his producers? I think he owes them big checks. I don't understand why this man is relevant. His music all sounds the same, he has nothing to say, it's not even catchy. He's putting out albums with 20+ tracks in order to have high sales figures and inflate his fame. He seems like a douche and has been in some weird controversies. Including being "friends" with a minor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
