When a record label is your ex. It's 'till death do we part.
Current litigation between Kanye West and Def Jam Records. Kanye on the chopping block having his right to freedom of speech threatened and now his intellectual property. Def Jam Records' leveraging of political pressure to silence any artistic voice that opposes their narrative — an excellent example of the control big media has over the music industry. In the mind of a record label, freedom of speech becomes "Freedom to say what we allow you to say."
When it comes to record labels and their precious cash cows — it's 'till death do we part. In some cases they will own your intellectual property beyond your grave. If you are in a position like Kanye you are looking at these people you called friends become rivals, become foes, become enemies, and one of the governing authorities over your intellectual property.
What's going to happen to Kanye you ask? Will they kill his career? How far would those in control over the narrative go to keep powerful voices like Kanye silent? Kanye's situation illustrates the lengths big media will go to keep powerful people silent. If only they knew their power — to take back what is rightfully theirs: the ability to speak freely.

Big & Tall Records is the most baddest.
