Maybach Music Group leader Rick Ross recently shared his thoughts on protégé Meek Mill‘s publicized feud with Young Money’s Drake.
In Ricky Rozay’s opinion, Meek’s ability to make money outweighed his need to entertain the Drake battle.
“In every conversation [I had with Meek, it was], ‘You move when you want to move. You not forced to move nothing. Ain’t no time limits, ain’t no, get your money on tour, certain energies may flare up, let’s calm down homie. You out on bond. You got money to get. I’m out on bond. I got $8 million tied up.’ It’s certain things I want to see happening.” (Rap Radar)
Recently, Ross downplayed the dispute being comparable to the early 2000’s battle between rap stars Nas and Jay Z.
“We might be from two different eras or something. We lost B.I.G. in that era. We lost 2Pac in that era. So to say, Jay and Nas when you discussing Drake and Meek, I think is disrespectful. That was an entirely different type of energy. That’s what I believe, unless I’m seeing something… I must be just, fuckin’, I don’t know. But by the time I heard of the Meek and the Drake situation, um, you know they told me that Meek hadn’t dropped nothing real and Drake had let two records go. They told me, it was cool and I was like, that’s it. Moved on.” (XXL Mag)
Asked if “Color Money” has a diss aimed at Drake on it, Ricky Rozay entertained the idea in an interview earlier this month.
“I mean, you know, I just dropped ‘Color Money’ it is what it is,” Ross responded. “It’s a lot of different people that’s going to interpret it a lot of different ways and it is what it is. I mean, everybody who know Rozay know how I get down. When I come, I come. I just say let’s see how it fold. We most definitely know how I come and I do. I don’t play no games.” (“The Breakfast Club”)
Ricky Rozay’s “Color Money” lyrics sparked some social media debates a few weeks ago.
“My little homie made a million on his girl’s tour,” Rick rhymes, giving props to Meek for the tour he did with Nicki over the summer, but it could also be a response to Drizzy’s Back To Back takedown about Meek. He then goes on to take another swipe in the rhyme with “I got more money than that p—- that you’re signed to,” referring to his mega successful Maybach Music Group, of which Meek is family as opposed to Drake’s OVO Sound.
