Calvin Harris is a Grammy winning producer and musical artist, and he took to social media on Friday (Aug. 26) to fire back at a Twitter user who questioned how compensation works, especially when stars like Harris and DJ Khaled are known to the public for their compilation records full of featured artists.
“I always wonder how DJs like Khaled and Calvin Harris make bread. Like all of their songs are other artists. Just production revenue?” the Twitter user wrote.
