      Umm, no. To set a legal precedent that then allows every Tom, Dick, and Harry to sue a business for promotional compensation they were neither asked nor contracted to do? On top of the designer gifts he received (which, if the size of the packaging is any indication, should hold a monetary value in excess of several thousand dollars, and will actually increase in value over years) I'm sure Ms. Labelle, has, in turn, opened doors to help create opportunities for him. James Wright clearly is an amazing talent with a great spirit, his star is on the rise and I'm sure he will be blessed tenfold beyond anything people expect from Patti on his behalf. His train is moving forward, with the right heart, the right spirit, and won't be stopped.

      @Lexus Drakeford ok, then how about this. Wal-Mart used her name and recipe. They basically purchased it from her to use. So in turn she actually GAVE HIM when she didn't have to do shit. He made $ for Wal-Mart NOT HER. She made her money when she sold the name and recipe. She made nothing after the fact. She was the face, Wal-Mart's pockets were filled from those rise in sales, not hers.. If anyone should "give back" it should've been Wal-Mart.

NO! so how many other video reviews should celebrities pay? you sound real dumb and obviously don't know how ratings, sponsors or endorsements work, especially with fans who willingly gave a free online review.

    • @NWAASAA
      @NWAASAA 6 років тому +4

      Nice to see at least one person gets the question. The situation here however is that there was no foreseeing this man going viral, even he wasn't expecting it, and he didn't appear to have a large following. If they had paid him with what he was bringing, he would have probably made less than $1000 with everything considered, and he wouldn't be entitled to anything else, even from the $11m when he went viral. The point is, even if you get paid to advertise a product, unless there's some sort of deal, it can still feel unfair.

      Patti LaBelle comprehensively understands the boost of social media as an artist. She knows what promotions and FREE exposure is highly beneficial. Least we forget that Patti is a selling artist. She fully knows the trades and definitely did not cut him a big enough check; though in all actuality, this was a free promotion that she did not plan. But they could’ve set it up so that he could make money for promoting their product after the fact.

      David Dacus she made 11 million. He didn't get paid anything.

      David Dacus Yes, I do believe you’re confused, because he specifically said “The PIE made $11Million dollars...” not *I* made $11 Million dollars. He didn’t get any part of those proceeds, because he wasn’t contractually connected to the product in any way, but thankfully, he did benefit from stardom after his “fans” aired Ms. Patty out on his page! 😂

    This man has a BEAUTIFUL VOICE. I heard about Pattie’s Pie thanks to this man. I would have tried it, but it’s not available in the UK.
