Sheesh! Songwriter Quentin Miller is opening up about his business dealings with Drake and the companies in between them. Miller reveals that he’s never gotten a “single check” from all of the songs he penned for Drizzy, blaming it all on a “horrible deal.”
Yikes! Quentin Miller Claims He Never Got A Single Check From All The Drake Songs He Wrote: ‘I Was In A Horrible, Horrible, Horrible Deal’
The internet famously knows Quentin Miller as “Drake’s ghostwriter,” and he’s recently sat down with DJ Vlad to open up about them working together.
Miller tells Vlad that he was caught up in a bad publishing deal and ended up penning songs for Drake and never receiving a single red penny for any of his work.
Miller starts off the clip by claiming that because he was a writer, he felt like he didn’t matter. Adding that he even felt the same with DJ Drama, claiming, “What about me and taking care of my family? And the fact that I don’t have any other skills? I didn’t go to college, I make music, that’s my skill.”
Miller adds, “I [was] working with a n***a that was literally about to change my life, even though I was in my horrible, horrible, horrible publishing situation with Tricky — so I never got a publishing check off of any Drake songs.”
Vlad interjects to confirm what he just heard and Miller adds, “No, I never got a single publishing check off any songs. I had to feed my family off getting paid under the table in that situation, because Tricky wouldn’t let me go and I didn’t get out that deal until 2019-2022, and I signed in 2011″
Miller continues, “And they wouldn’t let me out, I had to let go of a lot of sh*t just to get out. But even while I was in it, I never got a publishing check or nothing, I was just grinding it out, hoping that one day, or that one song, working with that one artist is going to change something. And it was the Drake thing, but it just didn’t change anything.”
