Logic Signs Seven-Figure Deal With Twitch
Last week, Logic made the surprise announcement that he was retiring from music after releasing his next album No Pressure on July 24th.
Now in a new interview with The Verge, Logic has spoken about his abrupt decision for the first time. “I’m not this rapper guy, man. I’m just a nerd. I love video games,” he says.
Logic also has announced that he’s signed a seven figure deal with streaming platform Twitch. “This is the place where if you want to interact with me, you’re going to do it here,” he says. “I’m not going to be on Twitch, having political debates. I’m going to be on Twitch, helping people after they’ve had a day of protesting or political debates, unwind and laugh and smile. And if you want to know how I feel about the world, you listen to my music.”
Speaking on his retirement, he said: “I announced my retirement from music because it came to a point where I felt forced, like I had to do certain things. And it’s not that the label made me feel that way. I was doing it to myself, because I’m such a businessman, and I was pushing myself to the brink of insanity.”
