Last month, when Wale collaborator Tiara Thomas signed with Division 1/Interscope Geffen A&M, Wale said admitted that the news was bittersweet, but still said, “[I]t’s all good. Shout out to Tiara Thomas and her new situation.”
Now, it seems that the Washington, D.C. native is singing a different tune.
In an interview with Baltimore, Maryland’s 92Q radio station, Wale was asked whether he could see himself getting as involved with assisting another artist as he was with Thomas, who was featured on Wale’s latest album, The Gifted, on the track “Bad.”
“No…it’ll take a while [for me to do that again],” he replied. “I got trust issues already. I was trying to do something special off loyalty, and based on that… I realized that everybody looking out for themselves. I need to start looking out for myself.”
Wale explained that he’d still be involved with other artists, just not to the same extent. “I got artists that I am helping but it will never be at that capacity again,” he added.
Thomas also appeared on Wale’s 2010 mixtape More About Nothing.
Wale also spoke about a photo he circulated of himself, J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar juxtaposed with a photo of Jay-Z, Nas, and Kanye West.
Explaining that none of the younger artists correlated to the veterans, Wale nonetheless took an opportunity to poke fun at himself when asked to draw comparisons. “Well, I sold the least records out of the three, so whoever sold the least records out of Jay-Z, Kanye…so Nas. I’ll be where Nas was. Cole about to do some crazy…Cole did crazy numbers. He’ll probably go with Jay, and Kendrick would go with Kanye.”

rite now im hanging some of those people and their kids im stuffing their kids back in their mom and beating her .
when i get done im gonna burn it
i just got done doing some stuff about to go out rite now
wale looks like a pirate from pirates of the caribeans
he looks like whoopi goldberg playing a pirate of the caribean!
WHO THE FUCK IS COMPARING THIS CLOWN TO JAYZ OR NAS, SERIOUSLY KILL YOUR SELF!
Ain’t this the local nigga who felt “inferior” next to Jerry Seinfield???
I don’t think Wale realizes that Nas has sold more records over his career than Kanye has.But lets not let facts get in the way.
Ye has sold 12 million albums and 30 million digital downloads in the United States alone
THIS IS WISHFUL THINKING AT BEST. WALE’S BEST VERSE MIGHT BE ON NASTRADAMUS. I LIKE THE KID. BUT NO WAY COULD HE EVER BE COMPARED TO NAS. EVEN IF HE SELLS 300 RECORDS THE REMAINDER OF HIS CAREER.
CORRECTION: WALE’S BEST VERSE PROBABLY COULDNT MAKE IT ON NASTRADAMUS CD. NAS IS A LYRICAL GOD.
Wales best song couldnt even be on the lost tapes
Wale probably didn’t push her. He remade her fucking song so that’s the least that bastard coulda done. Ungrateful fuck.
he dont even really have a label ofcourse she gonna sign a deal with someone else like she wants to be signed to 1 nicca to whos signed to another nicca
waleeeyyyyy dough????

Wale looks like a gay pirate. *vomits*
lol, you concentrated that long on the picture? wow
I thought the same thing, and I saw it in 3 seconds. Looks like a gay pirate. Argghhhh
Rap just got dumber
Wale saying he would the Nas? lol None of them are equal to Nas in any way. Nas has sold almost 30 Million records in worldwide sales…This dude hasn’t even gone gold.
nas better than jay-z too
life is good shit on magna carta holy grail
he def has a gold album Ambition and times have changed album sales don’t equate anymore because ppl just download music illegally. Its a comparison, I dont think any are Nas-like artist but ppl compare Kobe to MJ and Bron to MJ when we know there will never be another MJ
F U C K N U M B E R S
ONLY DUMB KIDS CARE ABOUT NUMBERS
ah i would say its more like Wale is the equivelant of Jay-Z, Cole is the Kanye and Kendrick is the Nas
Id say coles the jay and wales the kanye but the comparisons a strech in itself anyway
kanye is kanye
Wale aint no where near Jay-Z or Nas!
if we gonna compare Young Whoopi to anyone it should be someone who fell off a long time ago cause thats whats gonna happen to him!
Whoopi Goldberg of the Caribean!
Wale my nicca she aint owe you anything! You took HER song for your first single then took her off it!
Fuck Gay.I.Am.
excatly… dude had no buzz no single….
Wale is actually the equivalent of Will.I.Am. He’s Will.I.Am if somebody Suge Knight had signed him to Death Row and said “start rapping about hood shit so we can get those fans.” He knows that pop shit is really what’s in his heart.
Fuck hood shit this is for retarded kids.

im sure noones confusing wale with jayz and ESP nas
if anything Kdot is definitely nas- cole would be hov and wale would be idk like soulja boy or something lol jp
Kdot is more like Tony Yayo.
your mom is more like a prostitue
kanye shouldn’t even be grouped with jay-z and nas. I say nas, jay, and em…are lyrical beasts…..also….wale is nice, j.cole is nice, kendrick lamar is nice with charisma…but honestly, no one….not one person is seeing jay or nas or em….with nas being the GOAT
I agree, Apart from EM. dude is trash
What will it take for me to go for you to see I’m the modern day Pablo. Unh!

without her hook, that song is trash please
yeah it was her song he just added a verse or too and called it his single, MMG cant make their own hits they gotta jack other peoples songs just like Stalley with Swangin’
agreed. Wale is a dreaded eggplant
Says the local nigga who felt inferior next to Seinfield.
lol mad funny
local nigga who felt inferior when a middle aged sports announcer from toronto didnt know who the fuck he was and said he was no drake
He kept it real. His realness made me want to get his album. I think he and J Cole should do an album together. Same style, just Cole from NC, the home state.
Or..
Cole, the MC/producer (like Kanye)
Kendrick, the MC/businessman (like Jay)
Wale, the rapper (like Jungle)…Nas his lil bro
Since when is Kdot a businessman? lol He’s one more album away from working at Ace Hardware.
And you’re basing this on what, pure hatred
I just ya mom’s throat pregnant. You’re gonna have a little sister/brother ya bish.

Wale sensitive. “I got trust issues” He sounds like a girl
he look like one too
Nas sold more than West
NAS sales > Kanye by like 40million…..
and kendrick sold more than cole
Kanye is worth more. Don’t pretend Nas is still relevant or popular.
Relevant enough that people are still talking about him.
legendary GOATS dont have to be relevant when they are TIMELESS
If you look that the track record, Nas out sold Jay on their first couple of albums. But Kanye out sold both of them. Jay blew up after his third LP Hard Knock Life (he was 29 years old). (After Big died and Nas took off and fell a sleep for three years). I say Kendrick is Kanye, Cole is Nas. So, I don’t really know who is going to be the next Jay Z. ??
Wale is gay
and he cries after sex then wrote me a poem to try and make up for being a soft ass nicca
Cyhi the prynce is the next jay z
JA RULE X HARRY FARUD
JA RULE X HARRY FARUD
JA RULE X HARRY FARUD
WALE IS A FUCKING FAG… WHILE THIS NIGGA COUSIN WAS ON THE WIRE KILLING NIGGAS AND MAKING A NAME THIS FAGGOT WAS MAKING SHIT LIKE “NIKE BOOTS” FUCK OUT OF HERE, NIGGA BUSY MAKING SONGS CALLED “LOTUS FLOWER BOMB” AND MUHFUCKAS GIVE THAT SHIT A PASS? HAS WALE EVER MADE SOME SHIT THAT WAS ACTUALLY GOOD THAT NIGGAS CARED ABOUT? LMFAO AT WALE BEING BY FAR THE SOFTEST ON MMG’S ROSTER WHAT A FUCKING PUSSY.
he even softer than that omarion nicca who used to get raped
NIGGA LOOKING LIKE A BOOTLEG RASTA IN THAT PIC TOO SMFH
By far the most delusional nigga in hip hop history.
“legendary GOATS dont have to be relevant when they are TIMELESS”
Eminem is a GOAT. Nas can’t even afford a root beer float.
who the fuck is buying root beat floats
nas paid off his tax debts thats why you aint hear nothing else about it and why he aint going to jail like fat joe and lauryn hill
Any human on here hating on Nas and Wale is fucked and pussy and he sold more records than them plus if he owes money he has to pay and it is a good thing or do you wanna go to prison for him you bastard
You guys should be ashamed saying shit about Nas you aint even better than him
