>>56831508Yes, Mori probably paid him to do it.
On one hand I understand where he's coming from with a lot of companies trying to scam artists out of free labor.
On the other hand it's community engagement and allows a person to be seen by a massive audience "paying in exposure" is often used as a "get stuff for free" by petty companies / people, but there is also some truth that sometimes getting your stuff seen in the first place can hold value. We also don't know how FuwaMoco will handle this, it's highly unlikely Cover would allow them to use it without proper contracts / payment to whomever they decide to go with. Essentially Joshua is a petty dumbfuck like the most of artist who don't have the entire context and reactionarily throw a shitfit without knowing how things are going down. If the person who is chosen comes out afterwards and says "Hey I wasn't credited / paid" I could see his point. But to prememtively throw a passive aggressive shitfit over something is retarded.
It's funny because another of Mori's music friends wrote a passive aggresive tweet over his music being called "Persona music", a tweet he deleted shortly after making.
