A first-person excerpt from a Worldwide Ty YouTube video where the speaker says they sold their publishing catalog too early, served six years in prison, then later renegotiated with their publisher (owner Scott at Post). The speaker demanded a $5 million administration deal and sought roughly 20% of that amount, describing the mindset and context of the negotiation.
We sold our publishing catalog too early. We served six years in prison and publishing. Prison, yeah. We still had a great partner. I'm just saying the standpoint of, like, yeah, they owned our shit. And when it was time to renegotiate after we got out of the deal, now we're hotter. And they were like, we want to redo the deal. I said, $5 million admin deal. And the owner was like, whoa, is that a real number? I'm like, Yep, real number. $5 million admin deal. How'd you come up with that number, man? I just thought about the large number I could thought about right then. I was like, Let me get 20% of $5 million. I was in that bitch. Like, I was at McDonald Drive through. Let me get 20% of that $5 million. Let me get that five piece, please. Yeah. And the owner of Post was, which is Scott, he was like, is that a real number? I was like, yep. He was like, okay, let me come back with it. Let me come back and see what I can do.
