(In quote).

•Song comes out and indeed it's a great song with a top notch production.
•Mainstream artist makes some money of that song and pay huge amounts of money to the director to get a good video.
•Mainstream artist Also makes money from shows of that song
•How much was the producer paid? Nothing
•How much did he get outta song ? Nothing
All his efforts and all those sleepless nights was for nothing and gained zero for not Charging.
•Now producer is stranded cuz ain't nobody paying him for his services why? Cuz he values and puts the name and the fame before his work so yeah he got what he deserved.
•Fame with no money.
•Producer updates status : 'No free beats'
•Advise to all producers: Never Settle for less.
Don't provide free services where later you will live to regret. Make the right moves, put in that work and value it. Market and brand yourself. In Akan there's saying that goes like 'Adepa na 3ton ne ho' (A Good Product/Thing sells itself).
