Via XXL Mag:
According to Billboard, Motown reps have requested that Drake’s chart entries be credited to Motown, not Universal Republic. As XXLMag.com previously reported, Drake told Fader magazine, “I went through Universal Republic because I don’t fuck with Motown, at all.”
There are conflicting reports from Drake’s and Motown’s camp. A source close to the Toronto rapper says Drake is indeed signed to Republic, while Motown is distributing the album. The source adds that president Sylvia Rhone seeks to take “credit for anything involving Drake.”
On the other end, Universal’s source tells Billboard that Drake’s deal with Republic was never finalized, and alerting the media was premature. While the source says the move to Motown was last minute, he or she does not know what prompted the switch but suggested Motown may have first choice on Young Money and Cash Money artists despite artist preference, for contractual reasons.
*****Hmmmm with all this confusion I expect a blog post from Drake any day now to clear things up.......
