No official statement has been made of yet, but it looks as though Wale may have inked a new deal. The Washington, DC native made a series of Tweets on Friday hinting that he had a new deal with Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group. Ross’ label is under the Def Jam umbrella and is also home to the likes of Triple C’s, Young Breed and Gunplay. Wale dropped his 2009 debut Attention Deficit on Allido/Interscope.
