About this listen

 Episode 2 examines how Cassie Ventura's ten-album recording contract with Bad Boy Records became a comprehensive system of control rather than a platform for career development. Host Lenny Vaughn dissects the legal mechanisms, financial structures, and industry practices that transformed what appeared to be a dream deal into golden handcuffs. The episode explores how recording contracts can be weaponized when personal relationships intersect with professional power, revealing how exclusivity clauses, creative control provisions, and recoupment structures created multiple layers of dependence and restriction. Through detailed analysis of contract language and industry practices, the episode shows how Diddy's dual role as label executive and romantic partner created unprecedented opportunities for manipulation that went far beyond normal business relationships.
