"Troy Ave’s response to the sales criticism was to provide unverifiable data, claiming he pocketed 95% of the album’s profits, adding 30 thousand singles sold and proclaiming his final haul somewhere around $120 thousand. But as Pitchfork contributor Craig Jenkins noticed, that would mean—in a best case scenario—it would be highly unlikely any collaborator got paid. It’s also worth noting that Troy Ave signed to BMI Music, which handles artists’ licensing fees and royalties, in April of last year, and he arranged a distribution deal for MWAD with EMPIRE distribution, so the idea that Ave is collecting all of his profits is, at best, inaccurate. In any case, Ave’s response isn’t an effective counter response to public response, which seems to overwhelmingly indicate Troy Ave isn’t what he was sold as and people know it."

he gets clowned for getting punched outside the studio and all that but to him it's all jokes...the folks he's joking on usually too sensitive to trade bars cause they're all in their feelings.
