Jones signed the now incarnated rapper to his BrydGang Records imprint in 2008, but they fell out after Max B left the label. He later linked with French Montana to push the Coke Boys crew.
However, the Diplomat doesnt have any ill feelings towards his former artist. I dont even think about that no more, said Jones. He got his own circumstances that hes going through right now.

He had a chance to be as big as Drake is right now, Jones continued. A lot of these artists right now that are singing, and being very melodic, a lot of that came from that boys whole catalog.
