A few days ago Consequence took to his IG page to address the controversy surrounding his former collaborator and friend, Kanye, and in a 12-minute clip called out everyone affiliated with Ye’s label and wondered, “Where is everybody else at?!” After proclaiming his loyalty to Kanye and saying he’d always stand by him regardless of anything, Consequence continued to wonder, “I’m the only person that got a check with Ye?

Unfortunately for Cons, he was already inked to his cousin’s imprint, The Ummah. Related Stories “At one point, when I was still signed to Q-Tip… I was supposed to sign to Roc-A-Fella. ...
