Karrahbooo says she's shifting her focus to livestreaming after claiming she's trapped in a restrictive recording contract that has left her unable to release music and without enough income to support herself.
During a Twitch stream with creator DuB, Karrahbooo opened up about her financial struggles, telling viewers that her only viable revenue stream right now is going live and interacting directly with fans. When one of the guests asked what she does on Twitch, she admitted she "don't be doing it big" like other streamers, and mostly just chats with supporters.
Pressed by the guest, who joked that he often begs viewers for subscriptions, Karrahbooo was encouraged to make a pitch of her own to the people watching the stream.
"Listen, I'm in a 720 deal. The only way I can get money since I can't release music is through Twitch. Sub up if you want to help me," she said, before doubling down on the claim with extra faux-sadness, this time with Chris Brown's mournful "Say Goodbye" playing in the background.
"If you know me, I'm in a 720 deal, which is a 360 times two, which means it pretty much doesn't end and I can't drop music right now," she said. "So the only way I can really get money right is if I sell pussy or do Twitch, and so I'ma just do Twitch. So like, if you want to help me and my three kids and my uncle and my uncle's wife and just help me, then sub up. Thank you."
A so-called "360 deal" is a deal in which a record company gets a share of not only the money an artist makes from music sales, but also a share of other streams of revenue, which could include live performances, merchandise, and more.
Karrahbooo has not publicly named the label or team she says placed her in the alleged agreement. Last September, she addressed her issues with Lil Yachty, accusing him of refusing to release her from her current deal unless he receives 20% of her revenue moving forward. She didn't hold back in her criticism, firing off insults and calling his claims that she had already left Concrete Boys "lies."
According to Karrahbooo, she has been trying to exit the situation for months. "I'm trying to part ways, and you won't let me go," she said, alleging that her team is attempting to secure a cut of all her future earnings. She also argued that her breakout success helped bring attention to the Concrete Boys collective, claiming the label wasn't widely recognized until she gained traction.
The tension comes after she previously suggested the issues between her and Yachty had been resolved. In an August livestream, she said they had "squashed it," but acknowledged he still had her tied to what she called a 360-style contract.
