New artists and performers get paid less until they have a marketable reputation. That's how the art/entertainment IP industry works, from porn to music to movies to books. Khalifa is rich now.

All those other industries pay royalties. If you have a break-out hit even as a new artist you will get compensated a magnitude more than $12,000.
