So that what you been trying to school me on during her whole streaming, scooter braun, music industry victim tour!

So KNOWINGLY giving your CLIENT a sub par and receiving a kickback

Isn't grounds for malpractice or even just unethical behavior?
lol nope, not really. The TV Union's just got into a major fight about this with the big agencies who were taking credit and getting paid as producers on shows when the writers and actors would come together on their own for a project.

I have to differ with the previous answer to this question . Hell yes taking a kickback to negotiate your client a lesser deal is actionable. A lawyer could lose their license for that. It is as blatant a conflict of interest as one can imagine. There certainly are instances where a lawyer or agent may have a conflict, like taking producer points, etc., but they better damn sure have their client sign a waiver. And guess what a “desperate artist with an expecting wife will do.?” Sign the fucking waiver.

‘there came a time when D had the money to hire the best lawyers in the country to go over those contracts with a fine tooth comb, including his lawyer conduct and if he had a case, he would have filed it. He is using the only thing he has left, his fans, i.e. the consumer Might work.

So to recap
He said exactly what I said happened and he's saying something as an industry insider
Don't be in a rush to say I'm incorrect. I know it hurts people the way I'm right. I'm not trying to be right, I'm just trying to provide information -- valid information

the age of contrarianism needs to be rooted out.

Did you say what happened before or after you heard Kat say what happened?

I deleted the post because I let it go
but I heard from multiple places/people the exact same way
Dave alluded to it in the op with "I'm a crack head? I was a devout Muslim at the time I didn't smoke or drink but now I do because you ruined my life"

But Kat Williams said it in interviews and thus more believable to most than I have a few connections who spilled the beans. which is ok

They didn't honor the contract that's the point.


He had a deal to make a percentage. They gave him that deal thinking it'd be a steal. It ended up meaning they had to pay him hundreds of millions. They offered him 50 instead.

He said fuck that.

They are the ones who didn't honor the contract but then put out the narrative he turned down a generous offer .

It wasn't generous it was trash
Court maybe

If they didn’t honor the contract, couldn’t he sue?

They were in negotiations for a season 3 when they offered the 50 million but the DVD had already made lots of money.

I tend to believe that he didn’t have a percentage of DVD sales which is why he’s mad. He said that he signed a bad contract and now he wants them to do right.

I don’t know man? :dunno:

No court possible.
He's doing what he can do which is killing their ability to make money off of leasing it out to the streamers.

Exactly. That's why he's doing what he's doing. Y'all know how many lawyers would love to win a case for Dave Chappelle??? It ain't there.

I don't do a lot of contracts, but i remember what i learned the first week in contract law: you can't void the contract just because you made a bad deal. Period.

So i need someone to explain what the term bad faith means in the law specifically contract law.

Ok flip this

If you HBO...

how in the hell do you make all this go away?

Just ignore it?

Netflix royally screwed HBO'S out because of how easily and quickly they removed it

HBO can't claim its DIFFICULT or complicated

They also don't want to set a precedent

But i ain't watching it on hbo and apparently hundreds of people agree

They can't just IGNORE all those current and potential subscribers

We're conditioned that getting over is the only way to do good business

We don't even come from that we come from bartering which is actually good business.

I understand how shit is and how we have to be because of the system we're in

But I'm applying " don't blame the victim"
To everything not just some things.

We’re Black, so we mention those that we know about who’ve jerked people. There’s definitely many others but off the top of our heads we don’t know them.

Now i don't know

but you hearing more and more all colors saying they got screwed.

I forget who was a bgol vet in the industry ALWAYS defended Puff on a lot of the business stuff not EVERYTHING but specifically on contracts

He said Puff aint try and go out to deliberately screw the Lox over.

Or anyone else on badboy

Their contract was the STANDARD

And apparently white black and in between unless your uncle owned the label?

Or you had freddie fox pager number?

DAMN NEAR EVERY ROOKIE GOT THAT DEAL

Even defended him on biggie's publishing

Apparently BIG wanted that money all upfront

He aint wanna wait for the long term.

Allegedly Pull explained how it worked but BIG wasn't waiting

So we can't blame Puff

Oh we KNOW Birdman don't pay that is certified...

but on Puff

I don;t think I ever heard him NOT paying

and the Lox and Dee and Wah both basically apologized about all that stuff

and even people IN THE KNOW say that Puff pays and the deals are standard

again I don NOT KNOW PERSONALLY.

in any case we know there are cacs who have been fucked over in their contracts as well...so race may be a factor but its not the only one even the biggest one.
Race is always the biggest factor in a color caste society built on oppression of people with black skin. Its literally how this shit was set up to work. No idea why niggas like to argue against this foundational fact so much.
