Anita Baker thanked Chance the Rapper during a recent residency show in Las Vegas after she said the Chicago MC helped her regain control of her master recordings.
“You should say hello to a friend of mine by way of the music industry and by way of helping me, helping me to get a hold and ownership of my master recordings,” Baker said while pointing to Chance, who stood up while the crowd applauded.
Apparently, Chance gave Anita’s label the money they wanted so that she could own her masters. She hadn’t performed in a while in protest of her hardly earning any money off of her own music whenever she toured. Now, she’s back traveling and sangin’ some of the most iconic songs in R&B.
Congratulations, Anita and well-done, Chance! #BWLM💕
