It seems as though Cash Money Records has parted ways with another one of the artists on its roster. Just days after rapper Bow Wow announced that he has left the Birdman and Lil Wayne fronted label, today (May 11) DJ Khaled also revealed that he's no longer on the roster. In a new interview with The Breakfast Club, the "Hold You Down" artist admitted that he hasn't been on the label for some time.
Khaled, who was also on hand to promote his new album I Changed A Lot and single "How Many Times," revealed that he is no longer signed to Birdman's Cash Money, but unlike Lil Wayne (who is in a long battle with Birdman), he's not bitter about the split.
"I'm not signed to Cash Money at all. It's not like I'm here to promote that I've been off. No, I'm not that type of person," Khaled told the radio station. "Lil Wayne and Birdman, that's family. It's still 'We the Best.' Nothing negative, everything is beautiful."
Though there's nothing negative between Khaled and his former label, the same cannot be said between Wayne and Birdman. The two rappers, once protégé and mentor, have been in a battle over royalties and release dates for months not. But, ever the optimist, Khaled is hopeful things will work out.
"Lil Wayne, that's my brother, Birdman, that's family. And at the end of the day, it's not my business, and I do pray for greatness and everything works out. It's not my business and at the end of the day, those two people know who I am, and I don't get involved," he said.
Khaled's new album I Changed A Lot will be out by the end of the year.
