"We have clients who've produced music on the Vultures album(s) and have still not been paid for their services even though both albums have been released," music attorney Bob Celestin told Billboard.
"This highlights an industry-wide problem in which nine out of 10 deals, the producer has not been paid the day the music comes out," said Lewis Brisbois partner Jason Berger.
Celestin explained that sometimes producers don't get paid for over a year after an album drops due to the high volume of new releases and unpredictability of superstars.
West has reportedly cycled through at least two attorneys for clearances, now relying on a third, which complicates the payment situation for producers.
