iLoveMakonnen Parts Ways With OVO Sound
iLoveMakonnen is no longer signed to Drake‘s OVO Sound label. After releasing his last project Drink More Water 6 solely on Warner Bros. Records last month, he has now officially cut ties with the Toronto-based imprint. iLoveMakonnen signed with OVO Sound back in 2014 after Drake remixed his viral hit “Club Going Up on a Tuesday,” turning it into a charting smash. He re-released his breakout self-titled EP under the label, and originally planned to release his debut album last summer, but the album has been continually delayed. Makonnen detailed the split in a statement to Pitchfork:
“I cannot thank OVO, 40, Oliver, Future & Mr. Morgan, enough for all that they have done for my career. 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.”
Last night, iLoveMakonnen teased an upcoming tour with Lil B.
