‘Memba mi tell yu, Jamaican singer Samantha J ah do big tings … di pretty gyal just sign a record deal fi ah whole heap ah cheddar. Jah! Rastafari!!
Now, the translation: Samantha recently signed with Columbia Records — and TMZ obtained a copy of the deal … which will make the “Tight Skirt” star a very rich 17-year-old … if she sticks with the label long enough.
The pay structure is set up so that Samantha’s first album gets her an advance of at least $325,000 … and as high as $700,000, if needed.
According to the contract — if Samantha sticks with Columbia through her 6th album — she’ll collect up to a $1.1 million advance!
She’s also getting fat royalties … at least 16% of sales.
That’s the kinda scratch that’ll get Samantha … one ’nuff yaad down ah Jamrock … right near di beach, boyee!
