That was a rumor because Mega looked like he didn’t want to be there in an interview they did for their joint album.
As I understand it, Mega did the album with Lake as a favor. Lake was being grimey and not paying the producers which Mega didn’t agree with.
Yeah I remember Mega talking about this on his old website about 10 years ago.
I haven't heard Lake speak on it, but so the story goes--Lake was trying to raise some money for someone locked up, so he was basically going to use whatever money he could get from a rap deal to do it. He tried to reach out to Nas, but for whatever reason Nas wasn't fukin with him. He then reached out to Mega and Mega agreed to do it. In the course of all of this Lake was using Mega's music/business connections. Mega is a street nikka turned business/gentleman, so he was basically straight as an arrow in the music business and built good, solid professional relationships with people. Lake is still a straight up street nikka, and he conducts business like one. So when it came time to pay people, like these producers...he basically handled it like a street nikka and didn't pay them and got on some "see me in the street then" QB goon type shyt. Mega basically responded on some
and said he wasn't fukin with dude like that anymore as far as music goes). I think Mega had to clean it all up. Lake aint been heard from since.
I don't know if this is all of the details of how things went down, but this is how I remember it unfolding when Mega spoke on it back in 08/09
