Rich The Kid says he had to pay nearly $1 million to be released from his first record deal in his mission to become an independent artist.
The Boss Man rapper detailed his journey to get out the outrageous deal on his Instagram story, earlier this week:
My first deal I ever signed I had to pay 800k cash to be released! When they asked me for it I had 7k to MY NAME!! After that I went platinum hella times.. But n****s always doubted me, even before that I’ve always been the most hated I’ve been threw [sic] everything by now ain’t nun that I ain’t seen.. My own family turn, my own bros not support me & still end on top! Why causes I’ve always put God first!! Moral of the story… Nobody can stop God‘s plan for you.
He followed the statement up with a second post, in which he declared, “I AM A INDEPENDENT ARTIST I AM NOT SIGNED TO NO LABEL. I DO THIS SHIT ME & MY TEAM.”
Rich did not specify whether the deal was with Interscope Records, 300 Entertainment or Quality Control Music, all of which he has worked with.
