He was talking about being independent from record labels.

KOTA also explained to WSJ how “the image of Prince writing SLAVE on his face during a performance to protest his record label is etched in his mind”. He went on to say “our work has been exploited for generation and generations.”  Read the full Wall Street Journal article.
