Is Drake Still Riding With YMCMB?

This is a picture of the entertainers Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil' Wayne. Rumors spreading about Drake leaving Cash Money/Young Money Records.

For the hip-hop stans, there's a possible split between the Canadian entertainer and Young Money Entertainment/Cash Money Records. With this album coming out it seems like nothing was the same, literally.

Nothing Was The Same is on the shelves and its minus the usual players of the YMCMB crew.

No Lil' Wayne.

No Nicki Minaj.

No Birdman.

It's purely the sounds of Aubrey "Drake" Graham. He and producer Noah "40" Shebib are the executive producers of the album. There's no mention of Lil' Wayne, Birdman (Bryan Williams) and his brother Ronald "Slim" Williams as executive producers of the album.

The entertainer has enlisted Jay-Z, members of the Wu-Tang Clan, 2 Chainz, and Big Sean. It's pretty much a critically acclaimed hip-hop album with very few mainstream guests other than those mentioned.

This comes as no surprise that it's likely his album will go platinum.

The rumors are now even bigger.

Drake wasn't even featured on the Rich Gang album. The album featured all the members of Cash Money Records along with veteran acts Busta Rhymes, Mystikal, and Limp Bizkit.

As we know Drake, has his own label October's Very Own (OVO Sound) Records. He been running his label alongside the Cash Money/Young Money label for the previous albums.

His albums Thank Me Later and Take Care have won him Grammy's and were platinum selling albums.

Drake, Nicki Minaj, Lil' Wayne, Jay-Z and Eminem are the only talents who managed to achieve platinum selling albums.

Anyways, is there something brewing between Cash Money and Drake?

I mean Juvenile, Turk and The B.G. have long complained about the label and how they've done them dirty.

And now it's like history is repeating itself!

In my honest opinion, I've always believe that Drake was more than Cash Money Records. He is an established talent that should have jumped on Jay-Z or Dr. Dre's label in my opinion.

With the procrastination of Dr. Dre and the possibility of ego clash with Jay-Z, it's best that Drake continues to built an empire for himself and his talents.

OVO Sound has signed to Atlantic Records this year and Drake recently signed on PartyNEXTDoor to his label.

HipHopDX reports that Drake goes to The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about his album and what is his future plans.

Drake gave fans a little insight into his dating life during a brief game in which he was shown pictures of different women and commented on what his relationship with that particular person is, if any.

The game first kicked off with a picture of Rihanna, a singer Drake says he had a moment with, before moving on to a picture of Nicki Minaj.

Not one to shy away from doting on the Jamaica, Queens rapstress, Drake went on to express his appreciation for Nicki before sharing that the two have never had any sort of intimate moment with one another.

“Me and Nicki are like family. I love Nicki with all my heart. We haven’t really shared like an intimate moment like that,” Drake revealed.

Ironically, it was just a few weeks ago when Nicki seemed uncertain of Drake’s fate at the Lil Wayne-led Young Money Entertainment.

Other women brought up during Ellen’s game included model Tyra Banks, Kim Kardashian, and actress Kat Dennings.

Prior to speaking on Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and a handful of other women, Drake spoke briefly on his “Best Rap Album” win at this year’s Grammy Awards and the moment he decided to drink a “vodka concoction” out of his award.

“I did. I got my first Grammy. I got my first Grammy and I gave it to my mom actually,” said Drake. “It’s at my mom’s house…And yeah, I actually took shots out of my Grammy when we got it.”

Drake’s appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” comes days before the September 24 release of the rapper’s third studio album, Nothing Was The Same.
