RetcH tweeted out some big news today, announcing he signed with TDE.

To drive the point home the NJ rapper -- who was recently released from jail on armed robbery charges -- posed with a TDE chain and one of Kendrick Lamar's album certifications.

While that's all fine and dandy, apparently nobody told TDE President Dave Free that RetcH had signed.

@DOEBURGER stop letting people where the TDE chain homie. 2nd time these false stories hit the net.

We're going to have to go with Free on this one. Sorry RetcH.
