News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Did the money really get stolen though, or was it "stolen"?
A famous person turns up for 6 minutes to a poorly lit room, wearing dark clothes and a mask, says "music 2024" a lot, DOESNT say the platforms name (like he was asked), and fucks off.
If i was paying a celeb a shitload of money for a publicity appearance, i would be wanting more value for my money.
If it was $2m, thats $350k per minute.
Usher is $1m for an hour. 50 Cent is $600k per song. All of which is performance.
Turning up for a photo-op should be much cheaper.
And the quality of that stream is attrocious
I know absolutely nothing about Carti, but what if he did that shit on purpose? -Doesn't like Adin Ross for one of the many legit reasons I've been seeing people listing. (Idk shit about Adin either) -Is told he'll get paid $2m to show up -Does the absolute least, still gets paid -Leave
Back when this happened people were giving Carti shit. But after learning all this stuff about Adin, it seems Carti pulled a pro move. Idk if Carti is also a complete scumbag, but pulling that shit on Adin was deserved.
Honestly, I think it just boils down to Carti being an asshole to people around him and Adin being a naïve idiot lmao.
No really, Adin with all his cash could easily have an employee just to handle his interactions with artists, agreements and whatever, yet he's over here handing out racks in a duffel bag?
Carti is obviously in the wrong but I won't shed a single tear for Adin lol
