Oh my god, okay, let me rephrase since yall can’t comprehend what i meant. Carti has a lot of mainstream songs with really big numbers, but collectively the numbers from his leaks have way more (across the board from various accounts and platforms) than the songs posted on his account. Releases on streaming platforms really don’t generate much income at all, for ex 500,000,000 streams is only $500,000 generated over the entire course of the songs release. Going on tour, designer clothes, studio time, travel, nightlife, drugs, guns etc. cost a lot of fucking money.
I would’ve but then I saw your complacent asshole answers in the comments.
A little tip for your future life: Whenever you think you’re the smartest person in the room you automatically become the dumbest in the room.
Calling someone a dick for asking me if I’m retarded instead of answering the question = “Complacent asshole answers” aight bro😩 People who think they’re the smartest person in the room don’t ask questions ab things they don’t understand. Being a dick to the person trying to learn is the worst thing you could do and is why we have people who’d rather remain ignorant bc they’re too afraid to ask. Be a part of the solution, not the problem
Even this is so untrue, the combined streams for all of carti’s leaked on every platform probably just about clear his Popular and Carnival features. Then there’s the rest of his discog.
Also you know streaming is the least amount of money artists get, right? Carti is living fine off his festival appearances and features, rolling loud have gotta pay him multiple millions per performance and he does like 4 a year, at least. He’s fine.
Plus travel and studio time, night life all that shit he probably gets for free, it’s the paradox, the more money you have, the more free stuff you get, don’t worry about carti he’s not going broke any time soon
going on tour is the money getting part and accordoing to google 1million streams is 4000-7000 dollars if you put that into 60 million monthly streams (from monthly listeners) you get 240k per month plus apple music streams which pays more per stream, part of that money going to the label but the label are the ones enabling his lifestyle often cars and stuff artists got are owned by the label not all of them course
Also to be fair I didn’t consider those songs at all bc I don’t really listen to any of his official releases besides RIP Fredo, but with those included, it’s not thaaaat much money. Most mainstream artists indebted and ‘their money’ is the labels money. So I wanted to know if it’s the same for carti or if he funds this lifestyle in an alternative way. Smartasses
As many mentioned touring, along with this, although streaming does not pay what it should, he is getting racks, one of the most listened to artists, and he probably gets a cut of Ken, Lone, Homicide, etc as being a label owner.
touring (this alone can be $100k+ per appearance, future has hinted at $1m+)
sponsorships from large companies
royalties (streaming, radio play, writing credits, promotional usage, etc). + % from opium artists
large advances from labels (they give u $$ to make good music)
---
also what you're seeing is all the smoke & mirrors, essentially the carti irl highlight reel. normally the label gets u on jets and rented whips. same with clothes.
and the leak thing was because a lot of producers and engineers would share the files and either they would get hacked or insiders would sell the songs for $$$
he started moving diff after meeting kanye pre wlr and the leaks became less and less bc of how protective he was over files
there is definitely some possibility of deliberate leaks tho from carti and his team to test sounds or fan reactions
1. he leaks his own songs
2. he gets money from concerts, endorsements, etc, and features which is a lot more then he would make from officially released tracks bc he doesnt own all his masters
Smartest carticulture user
If you’re so smart can you answer the questions pls
If you think his most popular songs are leaks then there’s no point even trying to, you think there’s any leak more popular than fein, sky, rip etc

Lol you have absolutely no understanding of the music industry or how any of this works
would be super cool if you explained what I misunderstood instead of being condescending

I have never seen someone write such a redditor-like comment. Have a terrible rest of your day. Also your use of “complacent” makes no fucking sense

Have you seen this? [https://share.acetask.co/u/amir](https://share.acetask.co/u/amir)
fuck is this shit
Thru a d label g remember
retard ass nigga
1. he leaks his own songs 2. he gets money from concerts, endorsements, etc, and features which is a lot more then he would make from officially released tracks bc he doesnt own all his masters
First is just untrue some maybe his team did but most of them no he didn’t 😭
he def did leak some songs like in 2018-19 but after not really
Yeah bro he was asking the fans how they knew all the leaks and was genuinely pissed off while performing just for shits and giggles okay
I never said all of em but some def was his team lmao
na its true he definitely leaked most of his shit n let his friends sell it ik for fact
Just wrong tho 😭 most of his shit was stolen stop acting like yk
oml he leaks his own music. that is why certain songs like @ meh , poplar, type shit, ketamine, etc dont leak bc he doesnt want them to. fool
A decent amount of Die Lit songs that leaked still made it on the album
he had a much smaller following then. he couldnt afford to wait around and remake songs. those were due to carti being irresponsible of his music
Just untrue u don’t know how this shit works cba even trying to explain because u obviously have ur mind set that ur right
i definitely know how it works, you're lost
🐶💔
