For those who don't know, Meek Mill was actually signed to T.I's Grand Hustle label earlier on in his career. He had to make the departure when T.I went to jail, and Rick Ross showed interest in signing him to MMG. In a recent interview, T.I spoke on how he feels about what could have been if he was able to keep Meek under his label.
"[Meek Mill and I] were together first [at Grand Hustle], and due to my set of circumstances that removed me from the free world, I had an inability to do anything for anyone around me at that time," he recalled. "He ran into a situation with [Rick] Ross and he felt like he could move right now, and if I can't match that situation, then far be it from me to stand in the middle of it and block it. I felt like, 'cus I knew when I came home, I knew I had things lined up and for me, it was going to be straight. But I can't make another man say, 'Okay, well, I know you're going to be straight, but what about me?' I felt like at the end of the day, if you think that [moving to MMG] is the best thing for you, I'm not going to stand in the way of that."
He added, "I'm happy for his success, I really am. Do I wish that I did not have to deal with it in that way, and do I wish that I had a greater involvement? Yeah, sometimes I do, but at the end of the day, I've got to deal with life as it is, not as I wish it was." (hiphopdx.com)
