ILOVEMAKONNEN has issued a statement after it was confirmed that he is no longer signed to Drake’s OVO Sound label.
According to XXL, it was a clean break for the “Tuesday” singer and he holds no hard feelings against the Toronto rapper or any of the label’s team. ILOVEMAKONNEN is now signed only to Warner Bros. Records. OVO is an imprint of Warner.
“I cannot thank OVO, 40, Oliver, Future & Mr. Morgan, enough for all that they have done for my career,” the statement says. “No words can express how much I appreciate Drake for being a part of the success of Tuesday. I’m sure the haters will have something negative to say, but all in all my choice to be solely on Warner Bros Records was the right thing for me and for my best interest. Sorry there’s no beef to report, DRINK MORE WATER. ILOVEMAKONNEN”

OVO Sound slimmed down its roster as Billboard announced that ILOVEMAKONNEN is no longer signed to the house that Drake built.
The singer signed to OVO in 2014, the same year that Drake joined him for the hit single “Tuesday.”
ILOVEMAKONNEN released his Drink More Water 6 project last month and I Love Makonnen 2 EP, his last project through OVO Sound, in November.
He is preparing to go on tour with Lil B on what they are calling “Red Dragon Based God.”
OVO Sound moves forward with dvsn, PartyNextDoor, Majid Jordan, Roy Woods and OB O’Brien. ILOVEMAKONNEN is still listed on the label’s website at the time of publication.

He got dropped because he was in his feelings and tweeted some nonsense about Drake and Rihanna. Then later said his Twitter was hacked.
As dope rappers like drake gains friends and artists, there will unfortunately be backstabbers and iLoveMakonnen is the epitome of a backstabber. Drake gave him prominence and he choose to thank him by backstabbing them and illegally getting himself out of the contract. He will hopefully be sued soon.
“Dope rappers like Drake”….he doesn’t even write his own rhymes. Do you know how stupid that sounds??? RIP Hip Hop….
So whatcha sayin Fuckboy; he’s a backstabber cause he wants to make his own moves you retarded goofy.. smh… fuck outta here dickrider..

That’s what his dumbass get for dropping garbage ass music after “Tuesday”. What about my nigga Daylyt lol did he get dropped or was he ever part of OVO?
OVO Sound is like a lot of labels started by an artist. The main artist gets all of the shine and the others have zero promotion and no one checking for their music.
