According to Gambino, he is already starting to take meetings with interested labels.

“I talked to some majors,” Gambino told MTV News moments after performing at Power 106’s annual Powerhouse concert Saturday. “It’s really about sitting down, figuring out what they can offer.” Gambino didn’t divulge any names, but he did confirm that he’s been meeting with several big-time suitors. “A lot of power’s been shifted back to the consumer and the artist with the Internet,” he explained. “So I feel like we’re in a position to just talk and there’s still a lot of things that majors still understand a lot more.” (MTV)

Gambino resorted to Twitter to unleash a handful of emotional remarks about his label status last month.

“so this sweatpants video and blog was important to us.,” Gambino tweeted April 14.

“and it wasnt handled correctly.”

“we were told a lot of things were gonna happen and they were all lies. so im done. someone buy me out of this contract.”

“a lot of people came around after our first week sales. all those people are welcome now. def jam, atlantic, whatever.” (Childish Gambino’s Twitter)

The actor/rapper also vowed to never have his music compromised again.

“i dont like record companies. but im not having another project go through this.,” Gambino added.

“i said “i know how the internet works tho” my record company laughed on the phone and said “oh really?””

“dont lie to me”

“i know I’m not loud, or outrageous, or a white girl with a big a**, but im f*ckin honest.”

“my team is honest. ur not on my team if ur not honest. dont lie to me.” (Childish Gambino’s Twitter)

Reports claimed CG’s problems mainly rested with his indie home.

Childish Gambino’s Because the Internet topped the Billboard Rap Albums chart when it dropped in November, and his “3005” cracked the Hot 100, but the rapper is none too pleased with his label, Glassnote Records. The album, which was released in December, was his second on the label. Between Because the Internet and his 2011 commercial debut, Camp, Gambino has sold nearly 500,000 albums with Glassnote. But the issues appear deeper than sales. (MTV)
