The discussion, which gained over 39,000 engagements on X, underscored the importance of financial literacy in the music industry.
6ix9ine cited NBA YoungBoy’s 2023 deal with Atlantic Records—where the rapper reportedly sold his masters and publishing rights for tens of millions of dollars—as an example of short-term gain at the expense of long-term earnings.
