I hear that when you say it that way for those seeing this as a confirmation. I'm just past needing that confirmation I guess and felt it was common knowledge in these circles that famous and rich folks like Bezos, Zuckerberg, Jay Z all are well aware that they best do as their told or they will be ruined by the real powers of the world.

this is a great verse from an Aaron Lewis song that equates to what Hammer is saying albeit Aaron is a less famous musician around the world I imagine (and there's a reason for that !)...from his song Country Boy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsQzw_Ax8Cw):

Now, its been twelve years since I sold my soul to the devil in L.A. He said sign your name here on the dotted line and your songs, they all will play He set up shop on Sunset, he put me up at the Marquee He said "you want to sell a million records boy, you better listen to me" He said "change your style, whiten your smile, you can lose a couple of pounds If you want to live this life, you better lose that wife, do you need your friends around?"
