Sources close to the label told Urban Islandz that both Nicki Minaj and Drake spoke with Lil Wayne and let him know that they support him fully.
“Nicki and Drizzy are with Wayne one hundred and fifty because he was the one who saw the star in them from the start and gave them the opportunity,” our source said.
The source also told us that both Nicki Minaj and Drake are currently in a contract with Cash Money but could be leaving the label when that contract is fulfilled.
“Like with Wayne it won’t be easy for them to get out of their contract with Cash Money but like all things contracts also eventually comes to an end,” the source revealed. “They both have outstanding albums for the label but when those albums are fulfilled then you can expect a major announcement.”
