Less than 24 hours after reports claimed Lil Wayne had longtime friend/rap star Drake packing his bags to leave Young Money, an inside source has stepped forward and addressed the rumor.
Reports Sohh:
Despite the widespread gossip, the insider promised Drizzy is still Weezy F. Baby’s sidekick.
Earlier this morning, there was a report by MediaTakeOut.com that stated Drake would be possibly moving to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. Roc Nation and Cash Money/Young Money Records were reportedly working out a $50 million deal for the rights of Drake, which most likely includes his OVO brand, music and more. XXL contacted a source close to the situation that tells us that the rumor is simply not true. It is uncharacteristic of YMCMB to drop, sell and trade an artist as renowned as Drake. Stay tuned for more details as they develop. (XXL Mag)

Back in February 2011, Drizzy vowed his YM loyalty despite Roc Nation rumors surfacing.

And now…
This is EbenGregory.com…telling you a rumor is one thing that gets thicker instead of thinner as it is spread.
This would actually be a good idea I think…For one I think he achieved enough with Wayne and its not always bad for a change of scenery….A move like this can also change the face of rap….He might even get better fuckin wit jigga..Ascend to a new level he didnt think he could reach….The one thing good is it seems purely business wit no malice…Maybe cash money see something we dont….you know..cash out while u can type of shit.Peace Eb’s.
