Bishop Lamont, who left Aftermath/Interscope in January, is speaking up about his relationship with Dr. Dre. He said that, despite the lack of support he felt coming from those on the label, he has no ill words to say about his mentor.
"For ya'll thinking I'm going to say 'Fuck Dre' and diss him or Aftermath like every other artist that's no longer there, you got me all wrong. Dre signed me after hearing a demo I ambushed him with at a video shoot and not only did he not blow me off, he was true to his word…he listened to it. The next morning he was dropping my name on the radio and became my biggest supporter. I sincerely appreciate his mentorship. He took the time and put a hell of a lot of effort into my artistry, when most people in his position don't do that."
Recently Lamont recorded a song with John Mayer called "Gone," and is working on an upcoming film called "Fahrenheit 513."
