April 18, 2023

Boston, Massachusetts | Garden Records Conference Room

9:00 A.M.

*Zabi and the Divine 9 executive board of Euro, Aryn, Jasper, Dax, Song, Priya, Baron and Brenton meet to discuss Sorayah’s situation and plans moving forward into summer*

Zabi:

“Thank you all for joining me this morning. As you know, it’s been a successful weekend of god tier performances, per usual. There’s something irking me tho as I’m not FUCKING happy wi-”

Baron interrupts

“With all due respect Z”

Zabi:

“Baron, shut the fuck up. While you were too busy boo loving all weekend, these bitches on staff were fighting over the dumbest shit possible.”

Aryn:

“UM EXCUSE ME” *In the strongest irish accent ever* “Watch your fucking tone lad. You’re talking to one of your best signings at this dumpster fire of a company. Name it, Kingdom, Voices, Interlude, shit he even wrote Broken for you. Be grateful that he’s still here, and didn’t leave like your indy talent.”

Zabi:

“My apologies”

That man got cooked…

Zabi:

“Let’s get back on track. No sugarcoating Sorayah was out of line this weekend. Inappropriate comments towards Farah, attacking my girlfriend during my shoot, and now was seen with these random muthafuckas at our own concert. Before we put things together, who even are they?”

Jasper:

“Yes sir, I’m not too familiar with them although I’m latino, but I’m pretty sure that’s LAX. From LA actually, but they’ve been blowing up in the latin charts lately especially in Mexico.”

Zabi:

“Hmm”

Jasper:

“Now I don’t know why Sorayah was seen with them, but if I do recall, she was telling me that she has a lot of family in south central at this one party.”

Priya:

“Since when did you start going to parties?”

Jasper:

“Um honey, I’ve always been the life of the party. At least I can pull men unlike you.”

*Brenton spits out his drink to the side*

Jasper:

“How have you tried bagging Sunjun for months, but yet he’s fucking Louella.”

Louella is a famous actor from Oakland.

Priya:

“I’m sorry, but who has a hit song at the end of the day? Me or your broke ass.”

Zabi:

“ENOUGH”

“This is exactly what the fuck I am talking about. Nobody can get along anymore in this goddamn building. Do you know how much I had to hear Jenny complain this weekend from our trip? I’m sick of this shit.

Dax:

“Z I think we need to have a label meeting now”

Song:

“I’d agree this is getting out of hand”

Zabi:

“In the meantime, Sorayah is not to step foot into this building until the press decides to cool down. But watch out for LAX, those guys look off to me and I don’t want war, but not afraid to make a move. Are we clear?”

Everybody:

“Yes”

Zabi:
“I CAN’T FUCKING HEAR YOU. ARE WE CLEAR?”

Everybody:

“YES”

Zabi:

“Now let’s review our numbers for this cycle and discuss future projects. Euro, take it away”
