Criticism
Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has criticized Universal Music Group for overcharging for his album Year Zero in Australia. When he asked why it was so much, they replied "you've got a core audience that's gonna buy whatever we put out, so we can charge more for that True fans will pay whatever". Nine Inch Nails is now a part of their own record label The Null Corporation and no longer associates with Interscope.
In late 2011, rappr 50 Cent engaged in a feud with Interscope stating that, "Not everyone is not committed to releasing my new album." referencing his yet to be released, fifth studio album. This album, titled Street King Immortal, is set to be released in November 2012.
