He said that after he made those statements, many people assumed that Toni Braxton was receiving a chunk of the money made from 'Last Last'.

He further explained that the 60 per cent he spoke about is only for a portion of the income the song will generate.

“The 60 per cent royalties that Toni Braxton takes is being misunderstood, she does not get 60 per cent of the whole thing but just one small part. I’ve made more money from ‘Last Last’ than any other song in my whole career in a short time and I just dropped it like one month ago.”
