Lil Wayne on Drake And Nicki Minaj’s Label Status: ‘They’re Still My Artists’

Lil Wayne’s lengthy  and tumultuous legal battles regarding his record label are finally behind him. In September, the New Orleans native revealed that he was now the sole owner of Young Money. In a new sit-down for Elliott Wilson’s CRWN interview series, Tha Carter V rapper divulged the Young Money status of two of the label’s most lucrative stars,Drake and Nicki Minaj.

“They still have their own thing and they’re still with me as well,” Wayne said. “They’ve always had their own thing. Now it’s just that they have the opportunity to let me make their own thing shine brighter than it has. They’re still my artist. Understand, but they have their own things as well, because now I’m in a position I’m in now I’m going to make sure whatever they want for themselves to be, [I’m] going to make sure it’s exactly as it should be.”
