Drake owns a % of the label, it’s mostly owned by universal and he doesn’t manage it, so if drops are happening he doesn’t know, his not like Kanye who had full ownership of his label and was hands on with everyone which came at the expense of his own work.

[@msawmusic]

@@rushlytiriboyivlogs7565it’s actually owned by Drake, 40 and Oliver. Universal has no ownership to OVO. Most of the artists signed to OVO was done by Oliver or 40. Drake has only signed Baka.

What I don’t understand about this, mainly with Drake is that why try to overshadow your people like that? Especially coming from Lil Wayne label where he literally had free range.

[@bigwormwilks2309]

I feel like fans have come to the conclusion that if you’re not an mainstream act you’ve failed and thats just not true. And then that leads to people saying ovo is a failed label. If Roy Woods, Majid Jordan, Popcaan, Dvsn, and now Namoi Sharon can all put out albums and be able to tour around the WORLD they have not failed them. And Pnd was top 5 greatest r&b artist of the 2010s after his first project so him and ovo was playing with house money after that honestly.

[@billy7975]

it’s important to realise that even if their music careers don’t blow up these artists are still making tons of money through record work. Like sheck wes feels instrumental to anything Travis makes, pnd writing hits etc
