In the wake of the Atlantic Records restructuring — which led to a series of layoffs — Nicki Minaj took to X to playfully share some advice for those who are now unemployed.
“Dear Fired Executives & A&R's: Don't freak out, UPS is hiring,” she wrote, before suggesting they apply to her label, Heavy On It. “Also feel free to submit your resumes for a job @ #HeavyOnIt.”
She added another tweet: “They wanted empty arenas so badly. Obsessing over me while all your friends are getting fired is bad business.''
The layoffs, which a source said Bulletin board affecting 150 to 175 employees, comes on the heels of the announcement that 10K Projects founder Elliot Grainge will take over as CEO of Atlantic Music Group, effective October 1. Electra and 300.
Atlantic Records CEO Robert Kyncl wrote in a memo to staff that the company “will unveil a dynamic new structure for the record group” next week. The Atlantic cuts are the fourth round of the Warner Music Group family in about 18 months.
