Self Service, who has worked with DMX, JAY-Z, Fat Joe, Nas and more in the past, exposed Irv Gotti's shady business practices on Math Hoffa's 'My Expert Opinion' podcast.

November 17, 2021 50 percent goes to the writer and 50 goes to the writer of the music and he took 25, Self continued. He didnt do nothing to the beat. Ill make that beat right now. He been getting 25 percent of my publishing for that record and that was 20 years ago. He gets the same shit that I get for nothing. I wouldve gave him something because the opportunity was through him, but you still gotta ask me. Dont just initiate it because you the A&R I never was in the studio when did the record I never had a relationship with X. Ironically, there was a comment under the YouTube video by a user under the name of Corey Yellowman Jackson calling out Self Service for using the same dirty business tactics as Irv Gotti. Self did that same shit to me in 1998, he wrote regarding a beat that eventually got into Onyxs hands. I was an up and coming hungry producer That was relatively unknown.. He proposed to me that he would sell my beat as his own.. Give me a musicians credit. And instead of me getting minimal money Coming in as a new producer in the game He would get 10 times more for the beat And give me twice as much as I wouldve gotten on my own!
