Maybach Music Group's Wale has bigger things on his mind than entertaining a feud with estranged pal Meek Mill and, instead, decided to treat fans to a new song called "The Followers." #followers
Folarin released his new track to the masses Tuesday (July 8) evening.
In the wake of his fallout with Meek Mill, Wale has turned the attention back to his music by releasing a new song called “The Followers,” produced by Pro Reese and Marce Reazon. “Just wanna shift the attention back on the art,” said Wale. “Just basically talkin about where I been at mentally. Tryna bring u closer to #nothing album.” (Rap-Up)
Wale posted a screenshot of a Meek track he promoted on Instagram and defended his image hours prior to debuting “The Followers.”
“Few weeks ago. (7w) I posted this .but ok. Movin along . My Avi always changed when it’s THAT time .. Ok that’s not enough y’all see “razor ramon ” post on his no. But I don’t care.. I wrote a long ass post day before his single dropped .. Mariah record dropped nobody said a word I didn’t care .. I still don’t… I carry myself with confidence and humility ., I always try to have a lighter side to MMG.. Cuz I understand I don’t “fit the mold” so if I’m tryna spruce an interview up to show that we not tryn be “serious tough guys” on the red carpet Or try to be a bit more engaging to broaden our audience forgive me . I never wanted anybody to think we take ourselves THAT serious. (Were rappers )I don’t need to take anybody shine.. Or hate on anybody . I walk in a completely different world .. Where I look for slp jeans and Shanghai dunks online and know what “kayfabe” means. I check nbadraft.net daily . I’m on whatculture allll day I enjoy shyt like that. I play fuckin Zelda and fuck wit bitches who teach yoga and paint… I get it . I’m different .” (Wale’s Instagram)
The Washington, DC native also admitted he may be bipolar.
“I always embrace that shut.. I encourage y’all to embrace what y’all like or the person y’all wanna be.. I text niggas happy Father’s Day and get no reply .. I laugh it off .. I laugh at how I write songs about “chain music” and y’all get lost or “600benzz” i like to have fun with our culture. Because I beleive I add THAT to a “gangster rap” faction. I made my opportunity work for me that way. I write poems . I watch wwe . I collect kicks. I’m sensitive ok. Maybe bi polar. But one thjng I’m not is a hater.. I see Daquan jokes all day yesterday and patted myself on the back that I’m regarded as the aforementioned adjectives and not “Daquan”. I’m me and I’ll be me and do this shyt wit my “dew” till I don’t wanna do it. I encourage you to wake up soon as you find time. This was a post about #nothin” (Meek Mill’s Instagram)
Earlier in the day, Meek raised eyebrows after going off on Wale.
“When u young and successful..U experience a different type of racism.and it brings jealousy,hate & a new level of people tryna bring u down,” Meek tweeted July 8.
“Wale just ain’t gone tweet a thing about my album…. He’s been hating on me long time now …don’t even text me cornball! #UNOTMMG”
“Everybody can see it! None of y’all dudes don’t call me text me nothing it is what it is!”
“I don’t really want no suckas in arm reach of me…. My hands might lose control! That’s how I’m rocking”
“I ain’t doing nomore acting for no rap sh*t!”
“I got real family at home and all my day 1’s on the road wit me….. I just wanna make it known who is who!”
“I don’t need no support…It’s about a lot of these dudes really b hating behind closed doors..All these guys that’s on the rap scene kno” (Meek Mill’s Twitter)
