Dispute Over Contract and Royalties

Controversies within the YBNL camp soon came to light, with Lyta at the center of a dispute over his contract and royalties. Allegations surfaced that the artist was not satisfied with the terms of his agreement and that tensions had risen regarding financial compensation and creative control.

The culmination of these disputes led to a controversial exit from YBNL.
