“I don’t know if you listened to Jay Z’s latest album, but in one song he talks about how all the white guys own the record labels and they say to these artists, ‘Oh, here’s a $3 million advance,’ while they’re making billions,” Pompeo toldTHR. “The artists are chasing Grammys and Lamborghinis, so they think, ‘Oh yeah, I’m rich.’ Meanwhile, Sony just made f—ing $500 million, and they gave you $3 million and you think you’re doing amazing.”
“Like the music business, we need to get to a place where actors have more ownership over what they do,” she continued. “That should be part of this conversation we’re having now.”
