6 Artists Who Cut Ties With Their (Former) Crews

A few artists who severed ties with the crew
they were once repping, whether amicably or
not.
In August, former Hustle Gang member
Spodee ruffled more than a few feathers
during his interview with DJ Smallz when he
stated, "I have the potential to be bigger than
Tip or if not, just as big." Grand Hustle chief
T.I. didn't let this sit quietly, he took
to Instagram to address Spodee’s claims of
outgrowing the label and going against the
Grand Hustle family.
Every family has their ups and downs. Hip-
hop crews and labels, often as close as
families, are no different. With a mix of
personalities and egos all playing a hand, the
odd inter-familial fallout is inevitable, with
some leading to an outright hostile split, and
others coming to more amicable parting of the
ways.
With the Lil Wayne and Birdman drama back in
the news, we take a look at six artists who
have cut ties with their former crews.
