Rick Ross Talks Potential Wale Signing

The Bawse Confirms talking to Wale with The Source and says he's "one record away."

With a series of Twitter messages sent Friday, Wale hinted at a possible signing with Rick Ross and his Maybach Music imprint. Wale’s debut, Attention Deficit, was released on Allido and distributed through Interscope; he’s also co-managed by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. Rick Ross, who was also signed to Def Jam by Jay-Z who was the label’s president at the time, recently spoke on the potential partnership with The Sourcemagazine.

“I’m talking to Wale,” Ross confirmed. “Wale is a hustler. I feel he’s one record away from being the next nigga,” Ross added. “He’s just a naturally fly nigga. Slick talking nigga. That’s right up my alley. I just think that camaraderie, riding with Rozay, it’ll mean that much more. I feel he’s one record away.”

The Maybach Music roster currently includes Triple C’s—Young Breed and Gunplay—as well as Cash Chris. Ross added that he’s hoping to expand the roster by signing Meek Millz and Reggae artist Jah Cure to the roster as well.

Singer Chrisette Michele Speaks On Rick Ross Storming Out Of Soul Train Awards After Losing Best Hip Hop Song To Eminem

I should have known it would be too much to ask for Rick Ross to show some class and take his loss at last night's Soul Train Awards to Eminem like a man.

Eminem's "Love The Way You Lie" featuring Rihanna took home the award for best hip hop song. That was apparently too much to take for Ross who threw a tantrum and stormed out because his song "BMF" didn't get the award.

He even skipped his scheduled performance.

Singer Chrisette Michele who has worked with Ross in the past, took to her blog to express her displeasure with his immaturity and the black eye it gave Hip Hop.

Award Show :

"If this is the way hip hop is then I denounce it.

This is not about ego. This is about what I can bring to the world. My life is for the people. I live to give.

It’s my desire to bring life and freedom light and love everywhere I go. Upward mobility in the brown skinned community.

Who stands off at an award show because they don’t win? An award is winning at being as “stuck in a category” as possible. Congratulations to all the trophy holders who won at being the most like every one else.

I could have sworn hip hop was on the come up. But apparently rapping is about venting, bashing, chauvinistic pigging, and EGO. Not cool,

from the bottom of my disappointed heart. Hip Hop… Man up. I wanted to be supportive but I can’t understand you. I believed in you… But apparently you’re so high you can’t even see what the world needs.

Is all hip hop like that? Absolutely not! But some of it certainly is. Let me spit a few bars. I’m not that kinda hip hop. I rep hip hop too. But not that kinda ego trippin foolery.
