> Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross currently receive a significant portion of the royalties (more than Lil Nas X!). Do you have any source on this? Reznor has stayed mostly quiet about Old Town Road aside from mentioning it was strange at first but he doesn't really mind it. They worked out a deal but I don't think the terms were ever made public. Could he have demanded a large share of the royalties? Sure. But do you have proof he did?

Lil Nas X reports in Variety that Reznor/Ross might be getting up to 50% of the royalties (he wasn't sure exactly). https://variety.com/2020/music/news/old-town-road-recorded-for-50-dollars-grammy-nominated-1203480697/ https://variety.com/2020/music/news/old-town-road-recorded-f... There's also a comment on Reddit that sounds pretty believable (Reznor: 37.5, Ross: 12.5, Lil Nas X: 21.25, YoungKio: 21.25, Billy Ray Cyrus: 3.75%, Jozzy: 3.75%). https://www.reddit.com/r/musicindustry/comments/bu3gd1/comment/ep89eoo/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/musicindustry/comments/bu3gd1/comme...
