The news follows months of tension between Lennox and Dreamville. In October 2024, she went on social media to express her frustrations with the label.

At the time, many fans took her comments as a sign she was ready to leave the label. Now, her latest single, Soft Girl Era, lists only Interscope as the releasing label, confirming that she has made the move.
Lennox, Dreamville, and J. Cole have not publicly commented on the split.
The singer joined Dreamville in 2015 and found success with her debut album, Shea Butter Baby, released in 2019. The project helped her gain a strong fan base and respect in the R&B scene.
Despite her growth under the label, Lennox has made it clear in the past that she wanted more control over her career. Her departure suggests she is now taking that step.
