Don't get me wrong... I'm not a hater nor a conspiracy theorist... but think on this... just about every artist who has repped one of these large drink corporations has ended up fucked off after signing up. If you know business you would know that each of these artists are insured through these corporations.
Now I don't know if you all understand just how MUCH 400 million dollars is, but in most (broke) peoples mind after one or two mil they just jump in hundreds of millions without a thought. 400 million is 1 million 400 TIMES! 400 mil For some water?
Now think of it like this... If an artist becomes involved in some sort of unsavory scandal then all of a sudden they get dropped by the corporation due to the fact that their image is no longer usable to the corporation
for endorsement purposes.
What happens next? The corporation cashes in on the insurance. Now dig that.
All I'm sayin' is that if 50 ends up in some scandle involving little boys or rape or somethin else, I'm not gonna be too quick to convict him from my armchair. I would have to believe that somethin' else is goin' on. Yada? I mean 400 million for some water? Get the fuck outta here....
Now who can name for me the artists who have been fucked over in this kind of deal...
I 'll start with the most notable... Michael Jackson
P.S. I think the artists get to keep the money which is why we never hear any complaints from them...
