'STOP OPPRESSING THEM!' Donald Trump Jr mocks Meghan and Prince Harry’s
$25million Spotify contract as musicians fume over megadeal
DONALD Trump Jr has mercilessly mocked Meghan and Harry’s $25M podcast
deal with Spotify, as musicians fume over the lucrative agreement.
Sharing a New York Post article with the headline ‘Harry and Meghan’s $25M
Spotify deal a ‘kick in the teeth’ to musicians’, the ex-president’s son tweeted
“Stop oppressing them!!!!”
The jibe was in relation to the recent news that musicians are unimpressed
with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s lucrative deal with Spotify.
The pair are producing feel-good podcasts for the platform, which has been
criticized for its payment model for artists, many of whom are being paid
less than a penny per stream when their songs are played online.
Famed musicians including Paul McCartney, Chris Martin, Kate Bush, Stevie
Nicks and 150 others called upon the UK government this week to overhaul
the way streaming platforms pay musicians.
Many artists were up in arms about Spotify boss Horacio Gutierrez telling
Parliament that
Harry and Meghan’s deal would create a “virtuous cycle” that
would help to get more people on the site.
