Last night, news broke via TMZ that A1 Recordings founder and Atlanta rap vet Rocko was suing Future for unpaid commission. Future signed with A1 back in 2011, and Rocko alleges that the “Wicked” rapper entered into a 6-album deal that he breached when he cut a side deal with Epic Records in 2011. Since then, Rocko alleges that he’s been cut out of millions in commission from contract advances, touring and endorsements.
Future took to Twitter last night to respond to the reports, and seemed to be expressing regret for the news when he tweeted, “Ion want my n*gga looking like no baby mama” and “Call them people and tellum you was just playing Brodie,” which are possible references to the counter-suit he filed against Ciara, or the fact that a judge recently sided with him in their custody battle. Future continued to speak on the situation, never mentioning Rocko’s name, but expressing some strong feelings about the allegations.

He also tweeted “My n***a out here looking like dame,” but that tweet has since been deleted. You can see Rocko’s original allegations here.
