An explanation, an acknowledgement

I’ve been trying to find a way to open up without feeling like a failure or a letdown to the people who have loved and supported me over the years. I’ve been trying to say the following without feeling like I failed myself.  

As young as I was when I came into this industry, it was full speed ahead from the jump. Ironically, I was also taught “speed kills'', even figuratively. I met the right independent label, innanetwav., at the right time, and I’m thankful I did, my life needed change. I got to live out my wildest dreams, see the world and meet people I never thought I’d get the opportunity to experience. I was content with everything I was achieving and all the moments I’d experienced on that journey.

However, as we progressed, more often than not, certain things were mishandled and communication became strained. I felt under-appreciated; like I wasn’t being taken seriously, and I wanted to be independent. In trying to leave the label, I wanted to handle things peacefully, respectfully, and quietly; I wanted this out of consideration to the personal relationship I’d already built before ever signing to their label.

In the spring of 2020, I was assisted by Tailor Made Consultants and M3NA Media to mutually separate from the label. All of this changed when details of their dealings became known to me. While signed to innanetwav. I was being manipulated and exploited by people whom I considered family. A six-figure deal was signed, using my power of attorney, without total disclosure of the details, money and financial records related to my name and music were being withheld from me.
