Despite hitting a career high with impressive first-week sales of his latest album Lasers, it's no secret that Lupe Fiasco had a very tense relationship with Atlantic Records.

Apparently, enough was enough. Lupe has been granted freedom from his former label, but in an even more surprising turn of events, Rick Ross has added the Chicago MC to his growing Maybach Music Group roster.

Ricky Rozay has signed Meek Mill, Wale, Pill, and Teedra Moses in recent months since his MMG imprint landed a distribution deal with Warner Brothers. Lupe should be a strong addition to the roster.
