Baker spent a lot of 2021 making an attempt to regain possession of her masters from her former label Elektra, telling her followers early within the 12 months to not buy or play her music on streaming platforms till the difficulty was resolved. She introduced on Twitter in September 2021 that “all my children are coming home” and that followers have been now within the clear to stream her music as soon as extra.

Chance The Rapper evidently had a component to play in serving to Baker regain possession of her masters, although the singer has not elaborated on precisely how. Earlier this 12 months, she publicly thanked him throughout a live performance in Las Vegas after recognizing him within the crowd.
“Would you guys say hello to a friend of mine, by way of the music industry, and by way of helping me to get ahold and ownership of my master recordings?” Baker mentioned earlier than stating Chance within the crowd, who stood up because the viewers applauded.
