After his highly publicized dispute with Diddy’s Bad Boy Records and Block Entertainment earlier this year, Yung Joc has announced his official departure from contractual obligations.

According to Joc, label talks have already begun to take place.

“I just got my release and one of the terms of the release was a defamation clause, so honestly, I can’t really talk about it too much,” Joc revealed in an interview. “I’ve been released, severed the business ties. May God bless them and their regime, but I’m doing my own thing now. I’m actually in negotiations right now with a few labels. I just choose not to call out the different entities. Things are looking very good, God is very good. When I was going through this whole thing with the Bad Boy/Block situation, I didn’t know what the other side was going to be. I didn’t know if there was going to be light on the other end. I was hopeful, but it’s actually working out for the best. I ain’t mad, nobody’s mad right now, everything is good.”
