"Miraculously... i have out-lived *ALL, of my Artists Contracts,” the “Rapture” singer tweeted. “They no longer ‘Own,’ My Name & Likeness. And, by Law...30 yr old, Mstrs are 2B Returned, 2 Me,” she continued. ”Unfortunately, They're gonna make me Fight 4 it. I'm Prepared, 2 do that. Please Dont advertise/buy them ABXO.”
The “Sweet Love” singer asked her fans not to stream her music until she gets her masters situation straightened out.
Hello Sweetheart Thank You 4 Sending Me, Your Love. But, let's not Advertise *Spotify Streaming, which is, a Publicly Traded Company, with a 50 Million$ Valuation... but doesnt pay Artists/Creators what their Worth.

"Hello Sweetheart. Thank You 4 Sending Me, Your Love. But, let's not Advertise *Spotify Streaming, which is, a Publicly Traded Company, with a 50 Million$ Valuation... but doesnt pay Artists/Creators what their Worth. ABXO,” she said in another tweet.
The 63-year-old living legend talked about how much money artists actually make from streams, revealing they’re still taxed on those numbers. She said artists aren’t making as much money as some fans may think.

Call. Them. Out.
Regaining control of her master recordings could be a long, hard court battle. However, we hope they don’t take auntie though the ringer. Elektra Records needs to honor her contract and give Ms. Baker what she’s rightfully owed.
Period.
