She complains a lot

Everyone's still trying to throw rocks at her. Why somebody claiming her rights become guilty?

“Shameless greed in the time of Coronavirus. So tasteless, but very transparent.” There's nothing unapproved about it. She approved the sale of the rights. Only thing that's tasteless is her temper tantrum, and her attempt to link all this to the coronavirus.

As she should. They are so desperate to make any money off her catalogue that they’ll stoop to any level lol. It’ll be awesome when she releases the re-recorded versions of her old albums and makes Scooter’s $330 million investment practically worthless!
