Hip Hop News: Omarion Dropped From Young Money


Omarion Dropped From Young Money

With all the latest rumors surrounding Bow Wow joining the Young Money roster, there have been even more rumors circulating that R&B singer and former B2K member Omarion has been dropped from the label. Mack Maine, the company’s president has indeed confirmed the rumors to be true.

For those who don’t know much about Young Money or Mack Maine, Lil Wayne HQ states:

“Young Money Entertainment aka Young Moola is an American hip-hop record label which was founded in 2003 by Lil Wayne. The distributing label is Universal Music Group and the label is an imprint of Cash Money Records. The president of Young Money is Mack Maine who took over from Cortez Bryant in 2009.”

Back in early June, it was reported that Omarion had just signed with Young Money. According to Billboard:

“Drake hasn't finalized his highly-anticipated major label deal yet, but friend and collaborator Omarion, who appeared on Drake's popular So Far Gone mixtape, has found a label home. Omarion has signed to Lil Wayne's Young Money imprint, becoming Drake's labelmate. Speculation about the signing started when fellow singer, Tyrese, posted a Twitter message several days ago congratulating him on his new deal. Omarion took to his own Twitter page just yesterday (June 1) and confirmed that he is indeed signed to Young Money.”

While keeping his comment brief and the details limited, Mack Maine told SOHH.com that the label had to cut business ties with O.

"Omarion is no longer with Young Money," he said via a written statement. "May God be with him and his future endeavors."

Omarion has yet to comment on this situation. I wonder what the reason was and if it had anything to do with Bow Wow joining the team? Stay tuned for further information on this subject!
