“My managers do the bare minimum. Good morning,” Wale wrote. Some replied “Joe was right” and Wale responded. “Yeah he was right but that’s only half of it .. I’m blackballed to death . But won’t go there,” the rapper said, adding, “I’m either a below average artist or somethin fishy . But the information is out there .”

“Labels been lying about the support of black artist and music .. but u know I don’t know how to convey my thoughts with out certain ppl sayin I’m trippin… It’s complicated . Self Promotion . Free Lunch. Wow .. that’s crazy . The Imperfect Storm.” Wale stated. “I had to beg my label to make ‘Sue me’ and ‘BGM’ let’s y’all about it. We had to beg them to let @kerbito do his thing with his vision .. it was no before it was yes .” His friends and fans chimed in to make sure he knew that his music was not only heard, but appreciated.
