Rapper Chingy has split Capitol and signed a new deal with Island Def Jam. A new album, "Hate It or Love It," is tentatively due before the end of the year. In addition, Chingy has settled his differences with Disturbing Tha Peace honcho Ludacris and is now back in the collective's fold.
"Our reconciliation started last year at the Billboard Awards in Las Vegas," Chingy tells Billboard.com. " The whole situation was a misunderstanding because no one ever really talked through. And as the days went on, it got worse. So, we settled it all at the Billboard Awards and left all of the differences in that room."
Chingy's first DTP single, "Celebrity Chicks," will appear on the crew's upcoming compilation, "Strength in Numbers," due Sept. 18.
As for "Hate It or Love It," several songs are ready to go, including "They Don't Know" featuring Anthony Hamilton, "Lovely Ladies" and "Fly Like Me" featuring Ludacris and Rihanna.
"'Fly Like Me' has a mainstream feel to it, like 'Pimpin' All Over the World,'" says Chingy. Rick Ross and Lil Wayne are confirmed for guest appearances, and Chingy adds, "We're also working on a Justin Timberlake feature for a club record I've got."
