Huh?! Rick Ross’ MMG Imprint Moves To Atlantic Records…Where YOUNG JEEZY Is Senior VP of A&R!
Hmm, this is an interesting move. Here’s the situation: as we all know, Rick Ross and Young Jeezy have been feuding for quite some time. The beef really came to a head at this year’s BET Hip-Hop Awards in September, when the pair got into a bit of a scuffle backstage. Yesterday, Ross had an interview on Miami’s 99 Jamz. In the first segment, he discussed the reasoning behind the cancellation of the remaining dates of his MMG Tour. Shortly after that video hit the web, the second part came out…and he discusses the beef with Jeezy, saying that choking him is “an option.” Uh, yikes! Then the station tweeted a bombshell: Ross had announced he’ll be merging his MMG imprint with the label that Jeezy was recently announced Senior VP of A&R at, Atlantic. Though Ross as a solo artist remains at Def Jam, MMG had been signed to Warner. I doubt Jeezy will have any say on anything MMG, but it is an interesting move to say the least. Check out the “choking” interview and 99 Jamz’ tweet below. Marisa Mendez
