Early in his career, Rick Ross was co-signed by Jay Z, but he worked with Birdman and Cash Money Records, which helped him gain popularity. The relationship with Rick Ross and Birdman was so close that it looked like he would join Cash Money. This didn’t happen.
However, DJ Khaled did join Cash Money Records, bringing over the entire We The Best label. That was a major move, as Young Money was hot with Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Tyga blowing up. But, DJ Khaled moved his label from Def Jam to Cash Money, a BIG move.
Many found it rather abrupt how DJ Khaled left Cash Money Records, after We The Best only dropped three albums on the label. But, all of this was cleared up on “Idols Become Rivals,” off Ross’ new album, Rather You Than Me. The Chris Rock-assisted track is trending on Twitter, after Ross exposed Birdman for everything.
