The business ## Where the money sits ### Still TDE, twelve years in Billboard's Billboard 200 listing for the chart dated 16 May 2026 credits It's Been Awful to the imprint Top Dawg/Warner, and Billboard's May 2026 interview refers to TDE as his label in the present tense. No reputable outlet reports a departure. Billboard ### What this page will not measure First-week figures for Cilvia Demo, The Sun's Tirade and It's Been Awful were never published by a reputable outlet; the numbers circulating for the first two trace to a wiki. Metacritic returns 403 to every request we made, so no Metascore appears here. The September 2016 release date rests on a single inference from the chart debut and is flagged rather than asserted.
