Rocko, CEO of A1 Recordings is suing Future for over 10 million dollars according to TMZ.  The rapper claims that Future agreed to a contract in 2011 that would allow A1 Recordings to host his first six albums.

Things quickly went down hill however, as Rocko alleges that Future then signed a deal with Epic to dsitrbute the albums and then followed that up by cutting a side deal with Epic that gave him access to million dollar advances.

Furthermore, Rocko claims that the Freebandz CEO owes him a commission of 25% from the advances he received from Epic in addition to a commission of 20% from revenue Future earned from touring and endorsements among other things.

The two Atlanta rappers have had differences in the past over claims Rocko made of introducing Future to LA Reid and giving him a jumpstart in his career, claims which Future have refuted.

Rocko is best known for his hit track “UOENO”.  Future on the other hand just released the video for his track “Wicked” from his January project “Purple Reign” and recently achieved his first platinum solo album in “Dirty Sprite 2”.  Future is also currently on his Summer Sixteen tour with Drake.

Atlanta rapper Future is keeping mum on recent shots fired his way courtesy of Auto-Tune king T-Pain as longtime friend/hip-hop artist Rocko steps up to voice his issues.

Rocko did not hesitate to speak out against Pain this week through his Twitter page.

"WORK.....," he tweeted February 11th.

"F*CK T-PAIN"

""P.S.A..... NEVER SAY ANYTHING OUT OF THE WAY TO OR ABOUT MY FAMILY!!!!!!! WE ON GO!!"

"WHAT HAPPENED TO PEOPLE SALUTING FELLOW ARTIST FOR THEIR SUCCESS ? WHY PEOPLE GOTTA TRY TO TAKE CHEAP SHOTS?"

"BUT ON ANOTHER NOTE I JUST SAVED MONEY BY SWITCHING TO GEICO... HAHAHAHA" (Rocko's Twitter)

Rocko's comments are reportedly fueled from T-Pizzle crowning Future the "New T-Pain" on Instagram.

"Funny thing about that Bugatti you woke up in, #ItsMine #OhTheIrony hahahaaaa funny how "the new T-Pain" has to use "The old T-Pain's Bugatti for his Bugatti hook hahaaaaa yea. So. There's That. Not at all throwing shots at @Acehood that's my man 100 grand. - T-Pain" T-Pain is clearly referring to Future who sings, "I woke up in a new Bugatti," on Ace Hood's, "Bugatti," track. Do you look at Future as the new T-Pain? (Real Talk NY)

Future recently distinguished his usage of Auto-Tune compared to artists like T-Pain.

"When I first used Auto-Tune, I never used it to sing. I wasn't using it the way T-Pain was. I used it to rap because it makes my voice sound grittier. Now everybody wants to rap in Auto-Tune. Future's not everybody. The people who are taking my style are like my babies. I've got a tribe of kids that want to be like me... But I understand why people want to imitate the things I do. They're dope. It comes naturally to me. My fans can expect greatness. If I wasn't me, I would want to be me." (Complex)
