Wale Leaves Jay Z’s Roc Nation, Joins LeBron James’ Management Team

Nigerian American rapper,Olubowale Victor Akintimehin aka Wale bids farewell to Roc Nation, home of J.Cole, Rihanna, Meek Mill, Melanie Fiona and more, to join 77 North Management, which represents LeBron James, Billboard reports.The Bad hip hop artist had been with Roc Nation — an empire built by Jay Z — for five years, but perhaps Wale believes that there are greener pastures. The 77 North Management team is run by Rich Paul, Leonard Brooks, and Maverick Carter.


“Wale’s growth and maturity is clear, as he continues work on his best project to date. Its rollout has a lot to do with his new management, who have only been associated with the biggest and best brands in the world… #LeBron #Beats #JohnnyFootball,” said 77 North in a statement to Revolt.
XXL reports that Wale’s split from Roc Nation was amicable, but we’re not so convinced by that following the rapper’s Twitter beef with Meek Mill in early July:
“Wale just ain’t gone tweet a thing about my album…. He’s been hating on me long time now …don’t even text me cornball! #UNOTMMG,” Meek Mill tweeted.
“I don’t need no support…It’s about a lot of these dudes really b hating behind closed doors..All these guys that’s on the rap scene kno,” Meek Mill continued.
Wale later responded to the caustic tweets on Instagram, saying in part:
“(Were rappers )I don’t need to take anybody shine.. Or hate on anybody . I walk in a completely different world ..”
Nearly two months later, Wale’s cutting ties with Roc Nation and joining forces with 77 North. Is it just a coincidence?
The D.C. rapper’s fourth studio album, The Album About Nothing, is slated for release this fall. So far, no official date has been announced.
