The Dream REVEALS He Made $15 Million Off "Umbrella" And Why He Gave Ex-Wife Christina Milian A Percentage Of Justin Bieber's "Baby"

Jan 03 | by _YBF

The Dream, aka Terius Nash, recently did an interview in London where he revealed he made $15 million off writing Rihanna's "Umbrella" hit. Also, he discussed the story behind Justin Bieber's "Baby" hit and why he gave ex-wife Christina Milian a percentage of the writing credits. Deets inside....

Earlier, we told you that Christina Milian had opened up about her divorce from Terius Nash aka The Dream, and now Terius is also speaking out about their former marriage.

During a recent interview with the Westwood 1Xtra show in London, Terius revealed that he gave Christina a percentage of his writing credits (during the divorce settlement) for Justin Bieber's "Baby" because she helped him find the melody for the track.

Add "Write catchy hit song or just find a melody" to your 2012 resolutions.

Judging by the things I've

Judging by the things I've read about him i was expecting him to be an arrogant jerk. But he was very humble. Looked like he didn't really want to talk about all his millions and songs he's written. He's so talented. I was listening to some of his music on my ipod a few days ago. I'm glad he's coming out with a new album. I don't agree with the way he did C.Millian, but that's between the two of them. He comes across as a down to earth laid back kinda guy. And not the in your face flashy type.

I don't see what the big deal is. He was responding to an interview question. And him saying him made $15 mil off of Umbrella is not bragging. 15 million to him is damn near pocket change.

I didn't think that he was

I didn't think that he was bragging. He was responding to questions and speaking the truth. Sure he has a huge star head. What do you expect? But the Dream is talented as a writer, producer and singer himself. It goes with the territory. Please someone explain what that "handler" woman was doing standing right next to Dream the whole time and texting on her BB. WTF dat about. Ridick!!! Plus several hangers on were in the background too and they looked like teens and pre-teens, not anyone with clout or anyone he needs following him around. #silliness.

I really like the-dream, he's one of my favorite producers and artists. I figured he hasn't come out with a new record cuz he IS sitting off the millions he's made from WRITING. People don't realize that songwriters and producers are the REAL money makers in the music industry.

why did he mention umbrella

why did he mention umbrella and not single ladies. Could it be that umbrella was the bigger hit? Just wondering why he chose that particular song to highlight, or was it because it was his first major hit?

It is impossible to fall out

It is impossible to fall out of love. Love is such a powerful emotion, that once it envelops you it does not depart. True love is eternal. If you think that you were once in love, but fell out of it, then it wasn't love you were in. There are no 'exit' signs in love, there is only an 'on' ramp. (( H_o_t_B_l_a_c_k_w_h_i_t_e. c_0_m )) Lots of my friends found their lovers through the se'rvice. You may have a try... ;)

his voice is disappointing

his voice is disappointing how they hell does he make babies with such a girly voice like that. then again he has a very nice singing voice. gotta take the bad with the good. aint no way Chrissy Milian had lust confused with love with this guy, the only thing that stands out about him is his abilty to write fabulous songs and get money because of it as well as sing high pitched songs! he must be packing cuz its definitely not because of the looks #ewww

Wow, this guy is an asshole.

Wow, this guy is an asshole. Bragging about all his money and success only only magnifies how unhappy he is. You're not fooling anybody Dream, some of us can see right through you. It must suck to be "at the top" and feel so empty that you have to do interviews reminding people that you're rich and famous. Only lonely, desperate people need that kind of personal gratification. Dream needs to grow the hell up and humble himself like ASAP. It's 2012. DO BETTER.

You can't have a hit song

You can't have a hit song without the melody. Could care less about Christina or him really. Was just curious as to what he had to say about that subject. I expected something more interesting as the reason other than he gave her a percentage of the credits because she deserved it.
