In the annual Q1 conference in 2022, Universal Music Group confirmed that it had signed Drake to the terms of a “long-term worldwide partnership” the agreement included the entire spectrum of “recorded music to music publishing, film, television and brands.” Drake has referenced the deal in a couple of songs. In one track, he sang about signing a contract that was accompanied by “360 upfront.” With the confirmation of Universal that the deal was signed, some have taken this lyric as meaning that the deal was worth $360 million upfront. Some sources have put the worth of the deal at around $400 million or more. In the time prior to the signing date, Drake’s catalogue alone was generating 50 million dollars in revenue per year for its company.

If the deal were valued at $400 million then after taxes, Drake could theoretically have been given $200 million as a cash payment prior to taxation.
