Meek Mill Splits From Roc Nation Management …PORK? …NAH!

It has been confirmed to ISTHATPORK by multiple credible sources that Meek Mill has officially left the management of Roc Nation.

Mill, who signed a management contract with Roc in 2012, has been removed off the company’s website and all social media channels. Meek Mill secured a partnership with Roc for his record label, Dreamchasers, in 2019. When Meek was sentenced to prison in 2019, he and Jay-Z formed the non-profit group Reform Alliance to work on changing the country’s harsh sentencing policies.

Although Meek’s most recent album, Expensive Pain, debuted at position #3 on the Billboard 200, he has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with his company, Atlantic Records. After I had made them hundreds of millions of dollars, the company’s CEO reportedly said, “They didn’t put nothing into pricey pain and then said I can’t drop another project for 9 months at the conclusion of my contract. How would can anybody survive that?” Most rap artists are silent because they rely on record labels. I don’t,” he wrote on Twitter.

He chastised the record label for damaging his friendship with Roddy Ricch by blocking his independent music releases. To paraphrase, “So look I made Atlantic records $100 million and let them rape me out out Roddy, an artist they came to me about in jail… they still saying I can’t drop music until 9 months after my previous album got blackballed just wrapped buildings and Nina art with talent.”

He went on, “Roddy my youngin still …. But that label seperated us instantly when the millions came in from him… same thing they tried to do with me and rozay … it takes a long time to catch up too because most of em tied in for the love of some money … artist scared to speak up.”

Neither Roc Nation nor Meek Mill’s camp responded immediately to our requests for comment.

The rapper elaborated on his decision to leave the label on Twitter on Monday (July 11), writing, “All I seen today was meek and roc part ways…

I’m personally handling my own business so I can take risk and grow ..we came to that agreement together..

I have a label deal with roc for my artist and I got reform super tied with them and many other investments wit jigga.”

He added minutes later, “And roc nation is my family don’t mix my post aimed at Atlantic mixed up with roc or MMG …

they ain’t stop nothing I’m doing we made about a 100m together des mike and Hov saved my life b4 And put a lot of energy into it I’m not behind on my favors in life wit my people I’m good.”

ISTHATPORKS TAKE:

Meek Mill is taking the bull by the horns, deleting the pork, and keeping it moving. That's what you're supposed to do. He's showing pork how to be clean. How to do good business. After his company, Atlantic records who he said made hundreds of millions of dollars off his efforts only for the company's CEO to say, "They didn't put nothing into his pricey pain project and then said he can't drop another project for 9 months at the conclusion of his contract is pork in itself. Anyone should be able to see why Meek is doing what he's doing. Oftentimes, record companies look for that trip to Disney World before they are finished clearly with their obligations to their artist. Seems like soon as they get to a certain threshold, they're on to the next. With that said, we're glad Meek is exposing them. Though it's business, the pork is obvious. We agree Meek. There is a better way to do things. Atlantic records should be a cautionary tale for all new artists looking to do business. Maybe that will be what will help them stop the pork. Continued success and "FOOD YEARS UP MEEK!" ...

T.I. on SON KING HARRIS’ arrest: “will teach him life’s lessons”.

T.I. and Tiny’s son, King Harris, was detained on August 31. This prompted the 18-year-old to post a series of videos in which he responded to allegations that he was trying to pass himself off as a gangster.

The videos sparked an immediate outcry, with many people demanding that Tip do a better job of parenting his son so that he wouldn’t have to squander his future for internet fame.

As was previously reported, it was unclear what led to the arrest of the teen.

The Atlanta rap star eventually responded with an Instagram post, warning his critics that their admonitions were ignored.

“Got a small request,” T.I. said. “Stop hitting me and getting in my comments, telling me what to tell King, okay? I know my son. Think I ain’t spoke to my son? Think I ain’t told my son, his mama, and his grandmama?” he began. 

“His a– going to prison if he godd— keeps up. His a– going to prison. Ain’t no way around it. Ain’t nothing I’m going to be able to do it about it. Can’t nobody stop it but him. I’ve already had the conversation, I’ve already made my peace with it. ‘Cause I know that energy — I was that energy. I know exactly how it’s gonna turn out.”

Next, he said, “King’s a good kid. He’s chasing after the wrong s— and I trust in God to deal with it the way he see fit… Now, he going have to go through it and get through it… Life is gonna teach him all the lessons he need to know.” King had previously addressed the arrest in a video, saying that he had not sought out police intervention. The young man, then 18, began attacking those who had called him out, and he questioned why the blogs that had reported on his arrest had ignored his most recent music release as Kid Saiyan. Another viral video included a young woman proudly displaying her seatbelt violations while King can be heard stating, “got four.”

Meek Mill’s exit from Roc Nation has been addressed for the first time by Jay-Z. Hov appeared on DJ Khaled’s GOD DID and contributed a verse to the song of the same name. Jay-Z has more than four minutes to say his views on the eight-minute track, which also features Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and John Legend. He starts off by mentioning that he thinks LeBron James should join the ranks of Hip-few Hop’s millionaires.

“Hov did, please, Lord forgive me for what the stove did/ Nobody touched the billi’ until Hov did,” Jay-Z confidently rhymes. “How many billionaires can come from Hov crib? Huh/I count three, me, Ye and Rih/Bron’s a Roc boy, so four, technically.”

“Me and Meek could never beef. I freed that ni**a from a whole bid, Hov did,” the rapper boasts during his 4-minute verse.

Timed to coincide with Meek Mill’s exit from Roc Nation after a decade together is this new verse. Taking to social media on July 11 to set the record straight, Meek stated that his exit was amicable.

“All I seen today was meek and roc part ways. I’m personally handling my own business, so I can take risk and grow,” Mill clarified in his first of a series of tweets. “We came to that agreement together. I have a label deal with Roc for my artist, and I got reform super tied with them and many other investments wit Jigga.”

Drake’s new style is entertaining social media.

The artist’s new hairstyle on Instagram caused a stir.

People see through the jokes to the truth Drake has been proclaiming about himself for years: he won’t change who he is or try to be anyone else.

Paraphrasing a fan “I’ll never forget that Aubrey Graham is an actor whose biggest part to far has been Drake, as @KevCole6 put it on Twitter. With this, his musical legacy is secure. When the dust settles, he will undoubtedly go down as one of the most iconic figures in hip-hop history”. The man behind the music, however, is, hmm, unconventional.
