Muni Long Criticizes Atlantic Records Request

Muni Long, the Grammy-winning artist, recently revealed her refusal to comply with Atlantic Records' request for her to write 'soulful' songs for 'non-melanated' artists. During a contentious meeting, she expressed her frustration at executives who suggested she draw from her past work under her real name, Priscilla Renea. Long humorously reenacted the interaction on social media, emphasizing her unwillingness to cater to the label's demands. This incident comes amidst significant structural changes at Atlantic Records, including recent layoffs. Currently signed to Def Jam through her own Supergiant Records, Long's career is thriving, highlighted by her successful single 'Made for Me' and multiple Grammy nominations. Her stance has resonated positively with fans, underscoring the ongoing discussion about authenticity in the music industry.
