“Stipulations of this deal are crazy. They include that Ayra Starr is not allowed to have a boyfriend during the five-year contract. She can’t choose collaborations without Roc Nation’s approval. She also can’t post on social media, dress, or speak in a way that goes against the label’s image.”

@realjebo
"Social media has exposed some shady industry contracts recently, and it's clear there are plenty of artists involved. It's hard not to notice INDUSTRY PLANTS everywhere. Even her new best friend might be one."
@_SammyNas
"This is a typical example of what it’s like to sell your soul for money and fame"
@AquettaG
"That’s extremely sad . This a cult not a business these people tell her not to have a family and they have a family"
@Yaz_emipre
"Roc Nation had a great plan to really make money with her because they know all those things will distract her and they won't get her full potentials. Well calculated Business deal"
