Shortly after, the CMG boss revealed Mozzy as the latest addition to the roster.
“I always wanted to work with an artist from the West Coast…” Yo Gotti said. “After years of having big conversations, running into each other, and sharing ideas, we come here tonight to let you know … we’re [bringing] our dawg Mozzy into CMG.”
Mozzy then joined Yo Gotti and his new team on stage.
“Overdue, overdue, out the gate,” Mozzy said. “Big dawg been tappin’ in with me—I’m talkin’ about even before a n***a career even popped … We had conversations, he told me there was a seat at the table. I had to get my life right, tie up a couple of loose ends; I tied them m############ up, we here now.”
Mozzy also revealed he is ready to get to work with Yo Gotti and CMG: “You already seen the roster, that m########### go brazy already. It’s no secret. I’m just trying to get straight to it, n***a, I’m trying to run up some cocaine money,” he said.
Later on, Mozzy dropped his new single with Roddy Ricch “Real Ones,” their first collaboration. The pair pay tribute to the ‘real ones’ they’ve lost in their lives.
