Rocko and Future used to be close back in the early 10’s, with Rocko being instrumental in Future’s early success. In 2011, Future signed to Rocko’s A1 Recordings label, and the deal was for Future to make his first 6 albums with them.
The pair made a joint deal with Epic Records strictly for distribution, but according to Rocko, that’s when things went south. He alleges that Future cut a side deal with Epic for a few million, and cut him out of the deal. Rocko sued Future for $10 million back in June, which is the number he came out with after calculating 25% of the commission he’s owed off the Epic advances, as well as 20% of Future‘s earnings from touring, endorsements and more.
Now Future is firing back, and has filed a countersuit for money he says HE’s actually owed.

TMZ reports that Future’s filed response says Rocko was telling the story all wrong, and that the deal they’d had didn’t require him to include Rocko. He adds that it was Rocko who screwed HIM by never covering his recording costs or paying advances of $10k per album.
He’s now suing Rocko’s label, A1, for that money.
