Hip-Hop Artists Flipping on Their Labels Lately

The give and take between artist and industry is a tricky balance. And when a star signs to a major label, a part of their creative control is inevitably taken away. But lately, big names in hip-hop have felt duped by their major labels and definitely haven't been afraid to let people know. The entertainment industry is a fickle business and when the artist feels hindered, they want their fans to know about it and aren't afraid to come at their labels' necks. It's part of the reason so many new up and comers like Chance The Rapper, G Herbo and Troy Ave are trying to stay independently operated for as long as possible.

Whether it's about unpaid bills, a botched album rollout, releasing music without the artists consent, or even worse, not letting them release the music they want, rappers like Waka Flocka Flame, 50 Cent and crooners like Jeremih have been very vocal with how much they hate dealing with major labels as of late. Check out the specific complaints these musicians have with Def Jam, Atlantic Records and more.
