And I think it's a little fucked up that personal business has to be put out to the public like that.

But I do think it was...

Definitely something that needed to be put on front street of how the music business works.

Well, my thought process of it at that time period was my fans

You know, our office is the stage.

You know, being in public is pretty much our office.

That's how I felt.

Let's bring it to the front of the office.

Let's bring the things people don't know

what happens in the back office, even the people who are on the promo team and all of that, you know?

Because a lot of people don't know the intricacies of these deals, you know?

So when the negotiation was just being a struggling point and very stern and unfair, it was time to...

bring it to the front because in the, it never works out in the back.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Never.

You know, it was another strategy to bring it to the front by starting that boycott.
