I definitely need my creative freedom. I can’t deal with someone coming on my back and saying, “No, you can’t do this. You can’t a song with this person. You can’t bring this person out at your show.” I can’t deal with that type of stuff.

That’s one thing that I’m not going to let happen to me.

I want to be able to have other artists. I want to be able to sign artists. I want people to be like, “That’s ill, too. You can spot good talent.”

I’m using this platform for myself to build myself up and then build up other people that are dope too.

  1. For some reason I want this dude to succeed. Seem like a legit person. Nicki lame for trying to talk negative about this dude after so many years of him holding her down in the back..smh@ her being with meek n being public about it…

    • The Meek situation seem more like a rebound than something she wants to do. It seem like she is flaunting him to get back at bro

  2. lol . . how you gonna play the background for all this time then as soon as you break up with nikki you want a career? that’s hustling backwards playa!

    • U obviously don’t know the story…he’s known in a lot of circles, and he was the one that hooked Nikki up with Deb, Waka and Gucci…That’s when her career took off…He was the creative…Nikki even acknowledged that…

      • He didn’t hook her up with Deb, Deb don’t even like him. Deb has said many times how she met Nicki through Fendi; the beginning of meeting people was all Nicki!! She went to ATL without him then went back to NY to get him to say we moving to ATL with Deb. He helped her with finding beats from people who sent them things and watching you tube and WorldStarHipHop–A&R role.

  3. they trying to bring sincerity out of this fool in the last 2-3 weeks but he real clownish, dude clothes look like a bad dipset video… nigga just got insecurity written all over hm…

  4. this was better than i thought it would be.. but aye SB you should’ve married nicki so you could rape her in alimony, brah.. get them duckets and then do a sex tape with blac chyna lol
