Episode notes
How To Do Posthumous Releases Right
- Posthumous material can feel authentic when new verses and hooks are used rather than recycled scraps.
- Properly curated Prodigy vocals made the record feel earned, not stitched-together.
Madam Claims She Was Cut Out Of Saweetie's Deal
- Saweetie's alleged madam claims she arranged international hookups and wasn't paid after Sweetie fell for a soccer player.
- The madam publicly threatened to expose names if she wasn't reimbursed for expenses.
Pay Intermediaries And Document Agreements
- If a sex-work intermediary isn't paid, avoid public escalation and resolve payments privately to preserve all parties' safety and business.
- Treat such arrangements as contractual: document fees and get confirmations before introductions.
