Grammy-nominated rapper/singer Drake has come forward to address his absence from Lil Wayne's "I Am Music II" tour despite co-headliners including Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross. Although speculation suggests a rift between Drizzy and Weezy, the platinum-selling artist said he needed to take a break from touring.
Last week, rumors emerged claiming Drake was leaving the Young Money label. According to a member of Young Money, Drake would like to LEAVE the label . . . and join his friend J Cole over at Jay Z's ROC NATION label. The insider explained, "Drake likes making music with [Lil Wayne] and the rest, but he's a different dude. There's a lot of hood [ish] that goes down at Young Money, and Drake's not a hood [dude], so he wants to be away from that."Drake's mother is also worried . . . She doesn't want him around gangs or drugs."
MediaTakeOut.com learned that JAY Z is pulling strings to try and [buy] Drake's contract from Bryan "Baby" Williams - Cash Money's CEO. The insider explained, "[Jay] is playing hardball, he wants Drake and he's not trying to pay too much for him. He's moving in slowly. Right now he's working [behind the scenes] on Drake's tour. Under Drake's current deal [with Cash Money], Drake owes them records, but not tours." (Media Take Out)
However, in addition to a Drake rep's denial, he also took time to remind fans of his loyalty to Young Money.
"YMCMB for the rest of my life. Always All Days.," Drizzy tweeted Friday (February 11). (Drake's Twitter)
