DJ Drama opened up about the beef between his label Generation Now, Lil Uzi Vert and Roc Nation.
Drama chopped it up on the Rory & Mal podcast.
“Generation Now, we had amazing success with Lil Uzi Vert. We’re in a great space. One of the reasons why it was a tough spot for us is because Vert’s success was our success. Even with the Roc Nation situation, like Roc Nation was put in the media as if they saved Lil Uzi Vert’s career. It was a Free Uzi Campaign. Roc Nation Save Lil Uzi. Saves him from who?” he said.
In 2019, Uzi put the label on blast.
“And I love JAY-Z. He’s in my top whatever rappers of all time. This is not necessarily a criticism of him, per se. But c’mon now. Why was the spin Roc Nation saves Lil Uzi Vert’s career? Don’t paint us out to be the bad guys. Get the fuck outta here with that bullsh-t,” he added.
