Kean defended the company's business practices and explained that royalties from the original sound recording are only one part of an artist's potential earnings.

He also denied allegations that his company had taken money it was not entitled to receive.

Kean maintained that he and his team did what they could to help their artists develop their careers.

He added that if artists have concerns involving contracts, negotiations, or management matters, he would rather discuss them privately at the office instead of allowing the issue to turn into a social media dispute.

Throughout the conversation, Kean made it clear that while tensions have happened in his years as a manager, he does not want to carry personal resentment toward former artists.
