Last week, we all watched as rapper/writer Roscoe Dash had a bit of a Twitter meltdown, fed up with his lack of credit on songs he’d had a hand in. The target of his rage was mainly Wale and Kanye West, with Roscoe being upset no one knew his writing was behind the hit “Lotus Flower Bomb” as well as a couple Kanye and G.O.O.D. Music album cuts. During a recent chat with The Source, fellow entertainer and songwriter Ne-Yo served up his opinion on the situation. He also discusses his album name change and more. Watch below. Marisa Mendez

To be fair, however, I’m going to break down exactly WHY Wayne was wrong for what he said, but also, why you should cut him some slack. Thank you to Hot 97 programming director Ebro for help with the songs! In…
