Sean admitted that when he was first brought on, he was not a proven artist yet. He then revealed to Joe that his first cash advance from Kanye West was just $15,000. Sean explained, “[Kanye] just signed me because he heard me rap, I had nothing going so, yeah, my first advance was… bro, I don’t even wanna say the number. It wasn’t a lot at all.”
Although he was hesitant about giving the number, he eventually told Joe “My first advance was $15,000 bro.”
As HotNewHipHop points out, the rapper spoke more about his “slave deal” on Benny The Butcher’s new song “Timeless”. Kanye owned half of their master recordings but Ye announced on Twitter that he is now dedicated to creating a more transparent environment between artists and labels, promising to give back that money; including his 50% share to Big Sean and other G.O.O.D. Music signees.
