How did Ocean break free from UMG? One plausible theory is that Universal, having grown weary of the artist’s constant demands, wanted him gone and chose to let him buy out of his deal. Agreeing to the arrangement, Ocean, manager Mark Gillespie of Three-Six Zero Group and attorney Laurie Soriano then secured a $5 million advance from Live Nation as part of the guarantee for the artist’s upcoming tour and used that check as payment for his release following the delivery of the last remaining album on his deal, the visual album Endless.

Sounds like the label is trying to save face now that Frank made them look foolish.
Exactly.
I feel personally he went thru da last straw with them back last year with their delays and crap and decided to make endless and get real quick out of his deal
