They won't invest completely either, just a little bit of money to test the waters and if the artist can back up the claim that they already have a built in fan base then they invest more.
If they want to make money they would let it continue to exist. Debra Lee at BET is a good example of that.

I can't stand Debra Lee but Debra answers to someone at the end of the day. She is not answering to another African American woman.
She is following the orders of a white man.
She chooses to for money.
The BET creators sold BET to Viacom and that was the WORST mistake they could have possibly done to the channel. It is appalling the way BET portrays black people, APPALLING
Why do you think they took a risk with Adele instead of maybe...Jennifer Hudson?
