Master P has opened up about his experience as Meek Mill’s manager and said that his contract with Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group wasn’t the best.

The No Limit CEO discussed managing Meek and attempting to steer him in the right route when it came to signing a deal during an appearance on the The Gauds Show podcast. P claims that he informed Meek that he didn’t need to sign with anyone since he was a natural talent and recognized it.

“I was Meek Mill’s manager. Me and James, when he first started,” he said. “So, let me tell you why I stopped. I knew that Meek was talented, at the beginning. We had that song. I was like, ‘Meek, you don’t need to sign with nobody.’ Meek was like, ‘I’m gonna sing with Ross.’ I had looked at the contract and Ross a good dude. But he ain’t have his business straight.”

Master P continued: “Ross got his shit together now. He a boss. But I’m saying, at that time, you evolving, I seen it, I had the crystal ball, but [Meek] ain’t want to listen. I told James, ‘Hey, it’s cool, you gon’ handle that.’ I ain’t never got mad at Meek, I just walked away from the deal ’cause if you don’t see what I see. I been there already.”

The presenter pointed out that Master P would have gotten all the responsibility if he had continued to be a part of that transaction, and the creator of No Limit agreed but added that God’s plan will always work out.

“But look what God did, he had to go find out on his own, and now he’s in a better position,” he said. “But I’m tellin’ you, I knew he was a boss from jump.”

The problems Meek Mill has had with labels are widely known. The Philadelphian resorted to Twitter in October 2021 to voice his concerns under an unnamed label. Meek claimed that he had not received any money and was unaware of the amount that his label had deducted from his earnings.

“I haven’t get [sic] paid from music and i don’t know how much money labels make off me,” Meek wrote in a since-deleted tweet. “I need lawyers asap!!!”

He added: “Ask the record label? how much have you spent on me as a artist? then you ask how much have you made off me as a artist? i’m about to make my record deal public by monday just to let the world see what these people on!!!”

Many believed Meek’s remark to be the culmination of years of persistent rumors of conflict within the MMG group. In contrast, Rick Ross addressed the claims in a December 2021 interview with Billboard.

Rozay claims that no matter what the situation is between him and his musicians, he always wants them to be successful.

“I feel like we’re both hustlers,” When asked about the status of their relationship, Ross said. “That’s one thing about life, you either grow together or grow apart. As a boss, you make that decision, because whatever it is you want to do, Ricky Rozay wants to see you do it. There’s a lot of people that didn’t last or was still down with me the way Meek is — so I want to see the homie shine regardless.”

 

 

Master P is fed up with his previous musicians criticizing him after leaving his label, and it appears that the frustration is related to recent remarks made by Fat Trel.

The No Limit tycoon appeared as a guest on The Gauds Show’s most recent episode, which was released on Thursday (February 16). P made some light-hearted digs throughout the interview while jokingly proposing that a statute of limitations be applied after seven years of leaving his label.

“I think people wanna do and say what they wanna do after time go by. Like another guy said, ‘Oh P said he was gonna do [a sequel to] Menace II Society,’ he began – referencing Trel’s recent conversation on No Jumper. “How could I do Menace II Society? Go check have I ever said that in anything. You can’t find me saying it. So what I did say was I was going to do a movie like Menace II Society.”

He continued: “Back then I had a movie in mind. It was called Get Money. But at the time, Gucci Mane kept going to jail. So I was thinking on him, putting a couple people in the movie with him – some other young boys with him. But he kept going to jail. It’s crazy how this generation will act like you just said that yesterday but that was 12 or 15 years ago. Why is that a topic? That don’t even make sense, but that let me know, oh, they scared of you.”

He proceeded by saying that the moment an artist told him they wanted to quit, he always tore up the contract.

“I’m like, ‘How could an artist be mad with me?’” P asked. “Let me tell y’all – and I want all y’all to know this – this what my motto was: If you don’t wanna be with me, I don’t wanna be with you. It’s almost like in a relationship. I ain’t trying to hold you back.”

“That’s what I call ungratefulness. If you moved on 10 or 15 or 20 years after me, why is you talking about me? I forgot about y’all! For real. I’m the only thing you can talk about?”

“It should be a law. After seven years, you shouldn’t be allowed to go on no podcast and talk about nobody. Think about it! It’s a statute of limitations. If you ain’t been around that person in over seven years, please, you don’t deserve to talk about them.”

No Jumper welcomed Trel’s presence last month. The D.C.-based rapper said during the interview that he quit Master P’s group early in his career after being promised a part in a Menace 2 Society sequel that never materialized.

Trel, on the other hand, said P forced him to record for a band he never consented to join and even started selling the songs online without first handing him a contract.

“I felt like we was recording too much music because I’m like, ‘We here for the movie, bruh,’” Trel said. “I been living here for about seven months, I haven’t started an acting class, we no longer spoke about the scripts, the movie never ever came up. You know we doing video shoots and photo shoots and we got shirts pressed up that say Louie V Mob and he calling us the Louie V Mob and outside of the money that he was paying me monthly, I was receiving nothing for all of the music I’m putting out!”

Trel said, “He eventually quit and never looked back, and he never bothered to talk to Master P about it after that because he had no respect for him.”

Allen Hughes, a director on Menace II Society, subsequently said that neither he nor his brother had ever been approached by Master P or anybody else from his team about working on a Menace 2 Society sequel.

“This is the first I’m hearing of this,” Hughes said “I respect P tremendously but would never approve a sequel to Menace, never.”
