Drake Reportedly Replaces His Entire Management Team

Still wondering about his relationship to Jas Prince….reported by and from Karen Civil:

After being atop charts all over the globe with his sophomore album “Take Care“, it seems Drake has taken care of another problem he has had. It has been reported that Drake has fired all of his management which includes managers Gee Roberson, Al Branch, Kyambo Joshua and Bryant Cortez of Hip Hop Since 1978. These four managers also manage Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and a few other heavyweight names. It was reported that Drake felt as if he was paying too many people and being taken in many directions that he did not want to go.

It is being said that Drake’s management team in Canada and his management of Hip Hop Since 1978 were having conflict with each other, which was another reason he decided to part ways and hire new management. William Morris Endeavor agent Brent Smith confirms that he will indeed take over the management for Drake. Brent also manages Snoop Dogg as well. More on the story as it develops.

I think Biggie was amazing. He came to my shows in Paris many times, and we’d see each other often. He always used to talk so nicely about my family. I think he was so smart, so intelligent. He had such a mind. So I loved what he was doing and how he was giving people a way to know about Versace—I do think he was giving people a way to know about Versace—I do think a lot of people started to know about Versace because of him.
