Almighty Jay is an artist who may fans remember as a member of the YBN collection with both Nahmir and Cordae. Overall, the relationships between these three artists are fractured. Nahmir is doing his own thing while Cordae is a star in his own right. Meanwhile, it has been a long time since fans have heard from Almighty Jay. That said, the young artist was going viral over the weekend thanks to some comments he made about his former record deal.
As he explains in the clip below, he had a $500K recording budget with Atlantic Records. Essentially, that money would go towards studio time as opposed to the artist himself. However, Almighty Jay found away to take that $500K and run. He turned his home into a studio and registered it as an LLC. This was entirely unbeknownst to Atlantic Records, who gave him the money as soon as he told them that he had found a studio. It was a genius plan that ultimately allowed him to make a bag with as little effort as possible.
