They will pay taxes when they use it. And the fans decided to give them the money prematurely. You all act like they stole money from people
Nobody's expecting Fanmail/CSC but a real fan is not scared to put $10 damn dollars down to support an artist they like. Maybe the music industry would be in a much stronger place if y'all weren't so damn stingy. The fact that you all are stans and complaining and about supporting artists says so much
I've been wondering that too, to be honest. Do you think they tried to raise JUST ENOUGH to put the album together? I can see them negotiating with a label for distribution and promotion since they won't have to advance money for the album.
