If this was a label decision, why would Republic give Richgang Nicki's release date when CLEARLY Nicki would sell more. Changing Richgang's date to the week of Black Friday really isn't going to do much. No one cares about it.
Stuff like pushbacks and messed up releases won't happen. Promo would be better too. I feel like YM is kind of holding her back even though she still has creative control of most stuff. Drake too.
