You know, a lot of these "artists" are given money, promises of fame and more fortune, cars, all manner of "gifts" to sign that contract. Most are too starstruck to read or understand what the contract says. After signing, they are hit with the terms of the agreement not mentioned before they signed their souls away. Some I would imagine, like Nikki, may have been smart enough to read and negotiate the contract. Just my 2 cents. Also the reason I listen to mostly independent artists.
