Rick Ross recently touched down in New York to speak on many of the topics surrounding his MMG brand. The Miami emcee spoke on former MMG affiliate Pill, his own relationship with Def Jam and more.
When asked to clear up information about Pill, Ross explained that he was only obligated to work with Pill for a year.
“When I did my label deal over at Warner, Meek Mill and Wale was who I was bringing to the table,” he explained to Funk Flex during his interview. “When I sat down to do my deal, they had Pill as an artist already there. They just thought he may have needed a little work or whatever and we could’ve got that in with the team. So, we worked out a one year situation.”
He also added that he’s unsure as to what Pill’s future holds but maintains that his time working with Pill has ended.

“I’m not even sure if it’s still going to come out through Warner,” he said of Pill’s album. “I’m not really sure what final decision they made with him but the year ran its course with MMG.”
Ross also cleared up rumors about any problems between him and Def Jam. He noted that there was an issue over a contract renegotiation but that “it’s all love.”
“Me and Def Jam [are] one hundred…Over the last year, I quadrupled my net worth,” he shared, before adding that he thought they needed to take another look at his deal. Apparently, it all worked out in the end.
“It’s all love,” he added. “We made history together but at the same time, respect the momentum. Respect what we’re doing and we’re going to keep getting this paper.”
