Meek Mill Offers Rowdy Rebel Advice On Label Issues

Meek Mill is looking out for his peers who are going through similar issues with their record label. On Tuesday (December 14), Rowdy Rebel aired his frustrations with Epic Records, claiming they haven’t paid him a dime for his music in seven years. Meek Mill, who put his own label on blast over money issues in October, reshared Rowdy’s message on his Instagram Story, and the Philly native had a simple solution to the problem. Meek Mill may be on to something with his advice. Record companies have a harder time controlling mixtapes as they aren’t released through the label. A mixtape’s profits generated through streams, merch and touring will go directly to the artist, minus sample clearances and payments to producers. Rowdy Rebel’s situation is alarming, especially considering he was gearing up to drop his debut studio album in 2022.
