DaBaby is one 1,400 who signed a petition seeking better contract terms for songwriters and producers.
DaBaby joined Beyoncé, Demi Lovato and more who put their name on an open letter from The 100 Percenters to the heads of music labels and agencies worldwide.
The petition asks for “nonperforming songwriters to share in a minimum of 4% of the label’s share of master royalties; revision of current agreements to deduct producer royalties directly from the label’s share instead of from the artists’ share; and establishment of budgets not subject to recoupment to cover a minimum of $120 per diem expenses.”
This would bring DaBaby more funds from his music – like his quadruple-platinum Roddy Ricch-assisted hit “Rockstar,” which was nominated for Best Rap Song, Best Melodic Rap Performance and Record of the Year but ultimately lost in each category at The Grammy's.
