\nWale\u00a0has seen his fair share of label issues since his 2009 debut\u00a0Attention Deficit<\/em>. The Washington D.C. native has spent time with Interscope Records for one album, Atlantic Records for three albums and Warner Music Group\u00a0 for another three albums, including his recently released\u00a0Folarin II<\/em> project.<\/p>\n

At one point, Folarin<\/em> was attached to Roc Nation for management alongside Meek Mill, Rihanna and more. However, the two sides split in 2013 following the release of\u00a0The Gifted<\/em>, which Wale hadn\u2019t fully explained \u2014 until his recent app<\/a>earance on\u00a0Drink Champs <\/em>with co-hosts\u00a0N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN.<\/p>\n

When asked about his split from the Roc, Wale was candid, chalking it up to his inexperience in the music industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened was, I was in the Hov cycle for a long time,\u201d Wale says around the 60-minute mark. \u201cThere was a time that I was on tour with J. Cole. At the time, I was opening for him. They said it was a co-headlining tour, but whatever, I was opening for him, and it was an elaborate stage and this that and the third.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd somebody in my circle told me, \u2018You\u2019re losing 5 grand every time you get on stage. Not only are you\u2019re not breaking even, you\u2019re losing money.\u2019 Me, at that point in my life, I forget what city we was in but I was on the bus and I got an offer to do a tour with two other artists. And I wanted to go with Cole because that\u2019s my brother and we just did the Hov tour.<\/p>\n
