"So, let me tell you why I stopped," he continued. "I knew that Meek was talented, at the beginning. We had that song. I was like, 'Meek, you don't need to sign with nobody.' Meek was like, 'I'm gonna sing with Ross.' I had looked at the contract, and Ross, tell y'all from this day, Ross a good dude. But he ain't have his business straight."

"So, at that time—Ross got his sh*t together now. He a boss. But I'm sayin', at that time you involvin', I seen it," Miller further shared. He advised Meek against inking the deal, but the Philadelphia rapper decided otherwise. "I had the crystal ball, but [Meek] ain't want to listen. I told James, 'Hey, it's cool, you gon' handle that.' I ain't never got mad at Meek, I just walked away from the deal 'cause if you don't see what I see, I been there already." The host noted that if Miller had stayed involved in that deal, he would have been blamed for any fallout.
