Busta Rhymes confirmed statements by Universal Motown reps last week who said that he had inked a deal to release his next album through their label.
In an interview with radio personality DJ Envy on New York's Hot 97 station, Busta talked about the move and how it doesn't affect his relationship with Dr. Dre or Aftermath Entertainment.
"Me and Dre are still good," the rapper explained. "So even though I'm not in business with Aftermath or Interscope, I'm still with Aftermath. Me and Dre are always gonna be good."
While rumors hint toward a possible beef with Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine as his reason for leaving, Busta thanked his former label for helping his set up his upcoming album -- with the release of two singles and music videos, "We Made It" and "Don't Touch Me (Throw Da Water On 'Em)."
"Big up to Interscope for, you know, giving me the leaked joints and the set-ups," Busta sarcastically added. "Now we gonna consider those the leaked joints."
Busta's upcoming album was originally titled Blessed, but he's since decided to change the title to B.O.M.B., which he says stands for "Back On My Bullsh**."
As for its release date, that will be December 9, says Busta.
