I wish the MMG thing would’ve worked out for him cause he it seemed him and Ross had great chemistry

He wasn't being a diva. According to an article called "Why Maybach Didnt Reach it Potential". A magazine called Tropical Uk. It stated Rick still owed two albums to DeF Jam as an artist. He lost Omarion, Stalley, his only female Teedra Moses, and Whiz Khalifa was waiting to be signed but Rick was over budget. So he couldn't sign Whiz. Meek Mill and Wale were beefing. He got stressed and started having seizures. Things fell apart for him business and health wise. Atleast that their perspective on what happened 💪💪

It's a shame that an R&B artist has to sign to Hip Hop labels just to get some light. R&B artists used to have a lane of their own and they shined big time. Once the R&B and rap thing blended together things just took a turn for the worst.

"I released Omarion he began to Fizz"

It didn't work because neither of them had experience managing R&B artists. He was better off staying with TUG or the very least So So Def. This is what happens when your ego gets in the way.

Omarion is the one of the biggest male divas in the R&B game 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Donna_g]

I think it was a good idea. They just didn't make enough music with him. Maybe he need some writers for r&b. M.I.A was a real good song back then, definitely could've used him on plenty of there hooks but they flopped it

[changeoffocus]

Why’s he talking about Jay Z like that!!!😂😂😂😂😂
🤔🤔 DMX… anyone….

[deetee]

Nice guys finish last we gotta learn to balance that as men not to be too mean and not to be too nice at the same time we cant win fellows

He was washed up so that’s why they replaced his vocals for Lloyd
