Meek Mill has parted ways with Roc Nation Management, according to multiple reports.
Mill, who first signed with Roc in 2012 under a management deal, is no longer featured on the company’s website and has been removed from their social media pages. In 2019, Meek scored a joint venture deal with Roc for his imprint Dreamchasers, where he became president. Following his incarceration in 2018, Meek also teamed up with Jay-Z the following year and created Reform Alliance — a non-profit organization set to eliminate unjust sentencing laws in the United States.
Earlier this year, Meek expressed frustrations with his label Atlantic Records after scoring a No. 3 debut on the Billboard 200 with his latest album, Expensive Pain. “They didn’t put nothing into expensive pain and then said I can’t drop another project for 9 months at the end of my contract after I made them 100’s of millions ….. how would can anybody survive that … most rappers can’t speak because they depend on these companies “I don’t,” he tweeted.
He admonished the label for not allowing him to release music on his own accord and sullying his relationship with Roddy Ricch. “So look I made Atlantic records 100’s of millions and let them rape me out Roddy artist they came to me about in jail … they still saying I can’t drop music until 9 months after my last album got blackballed just wrapped buildings and Nina art with talent.”
He continued, “Roddy my youngin still …. But that label separated us instantly when the millions came in from him… the same thing they tried to do with me and rozay … it takes a long time to catch up too because most of them tied in for the love of some money … artists scared to speak up.”
Representatives for Roc Nation and Meek Mill did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
But on Monday (July 11), the rapper further explained his decision to exit the label, tweeting, “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.”
