A tale as old as time: artists beefing with their record label. Occasionally, it’s a good thing because it stops artists from releasing half baked work. Or, they want more time to properly roll the record out. However, a lot of times, the artist’s intuition is correct and the label should get out of the way. This is where the never ending conflict resides and Joey Bada$$ is experiencing it personally.
Recently, Joey took to Instagram Live, voicing his frustrations with his label. Initially, his album Lonely at the Top was supposed to release on Friday, August 1st. However, he regrettably informs his fans that the plans have changed. “I’ma just rip the Band-Aid off,” he sighs. “The album is not dropping Aug. 1. I’m f—king sorry. I’m ashamed, I’m f—king disappointed. I wanted to take accountability and responsibility because I’m not ever gon’ leave y’all high and dry.”
