Do we know if his contract had backend points? This reads a lot differently if he came out of this with a percentage of that $300m versus whatever flat dollar amount he was paid.
At the very best it's still capitalist ideology, but it's a difference of trying to justify himself not paying an artist what they deserve, versus justifying why his bosses didn't pay that artist what they deserve.
In any case if he made any significant amount off this he should throw a bone to anyone that didn't.
