Producer Whisperer Podcast

Westside Gunn & Sovren Royalty Issue

In the second episode of Producer Whisperer Podcast, we break down the royalties dispute that lit up X formerly Twitter, centered around producer Sovren and Griselda’s Westside Gunn. What began as a public callout quickly evolved into a deeper conversation about producer rights, splits, communication issues, and the ongoing tension between creatives and artists in today’s music industry. We unpack what actually happened, where things may have gone wrong, and most importantly, what producers can take away from it. From paperwork and publishing to leverage and protecting your work, this episode highlights the real consequences of not having your business fully in order. If you are a producer navigating placements, credits, and getting paid properly, this is a conversation you need to hear.
