VIA CM:

R&B singer Lloyd has parted ways with his longtime record label The Inc. – just a month after Ashanti walked out of her contract at the music firm.

Ashanti left the label, run by music mogul Irv Gotti, in May after years of reportedly frosty relations with The Inc. bosses.

And Lloyd has now followed her out the door after releasing three albums with the company – but insists the split was amicable.

He tells AllHipHop.com, “I’m ready for a change. There’s no bad blood. I just feel I need to take more control over my career and get a fresh start. Hopefully Irv can understand my position.”

Lloyd’s manager, Henry ‘Noonie’ Lee, adds: “Even though Lloyd is appreciative of the opportunity that has been afforded him by The Inc, he feels it’s time for him to move on and seek opportunities that will allow him to build and enhance his brand.”

Check out our ‘Drinks With Lloyd’ below and enjoy!

    I wouldn’t trust Irv to begin with; look how this man treats his family! I know there is a different between business and personal but he is an arrogant ass who treats his family like s**t! His show is not worth watching because he show exactly the statistical, labeled character that the world labels our men!

    We can all say now, that the INC is history. It’s definitely a wrap. This is worse than the end of Death Row, and they fell flat on their face! Irv is an east coast Suge Knight. If Ja’s smart, he’ll do the same as well. Like Ashanti, his career has also taken a similiar nosedive.
