Unless there's been some follow up to this exposé I missed

http://www.buzzfeed.com/naomizeichner/young-thug-trapped-major-label-deal

He has, what, three contracts with three people all of whom have various holdings of his music?

I didn't re-read the article but I remember it being a serious clusterfuck (I think Migos got caught up in a similar situation with 1017 as well but they're clearly a Quality Control band now).
