Montell Jordan Says Drake Helped Him Recoup Def Jam Earnings Through Song Sample
Montell Jordan recently revealed that he recouped on the money owed Def Jam after Drake sampled one of his songs
Montell Jordan recently revealed that, although he signed his first recording deal almost 30 years ago, he finally recouped the money owed the label after Drake sampled one of his songs and was able to break even.
Drake sampling Daddy’s Home on Papi’s Home helped Montell Jordan finally recoup from Def Jam—29 years after the original dropped
“It advanced the publishing of the original song more, which allowed me to recoup faster. So, literally, when, after Certified Lover Boy dropped, my recoupment of my publishing and royalties, literally, I finally recouped with Def Jam.”
