After releasing two solo albums on the label, Tyga is looking to leave Young Money Records. The ‘Rack City’ rhymer went on a Twitter rant today (Oct. 10), accusing Lil Wayne’s label of holding him “hostage” since his new album, ‘The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty,’ is complete and still hasn’t received a release date.


“Gold album been done. my label holding me hostage so i can’t release nothing,” he tweeted. “[I] might just leak it for my fans then let them make $ off it.”


“The music industry is a devils playground. Im a man of God,” he continued. “#LastKings is what i built and the only thing I rep.”


The 24-year-old Compton rapper also responded to a follower who asked if he’s still on Young Money? His reply: “Not for long.”


Young Money president Mack Maine chimed in on Tyga’s comments with a tweet crediting Weezy’s label for building his career.
