Reminiscing on how he started in Square Records, before the fallout, he said: “When I was with Square records, everything was going really smooth. Everything was nice. The songs were good, top-notch, hits. The only thing that happened was when we decided to turn it into a real business, structure it… Then the contract P came up, from there, everything started going left.”
“… I got a show in London, then they gave me a contract which they said they were never going to give me in the beginning when I asked for a contract. They said, “we don’t need your money, how much do you want to be making for us. Do you know how much we make?”. Which is true. They were making so much money”. He further said.
