Young Money is known for its powerful trio made up Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj. Also within the interview Wayne speaks on bring both of them into his label.

“Call me old-fashioned and country, but with Drake, that was the first time I’d seen someone that knew how to sing and rap,” said Wayne. It wasn’t until I heard him spitting on one of my beats when I was like, ‘This fool’s retarded.’ When I hear something that I know I can’t do better? That’s when I’m like, ‘They need to be on the team.’

Continuing on to Nicki Minaj, Wayne shared: “I wanted a female. Every team needs a female to rep your gang. She was annihilating niggas.”
