Chamillionaire fans awaiting the release of his third major label LP, Venom, will have to cross the album off their wanted list this year.
The Houston rapper says the album has been scrapped because he isn't entirely too happy with the product.
"The Venom album--is not coming out. Universal didn't shelve it, I'm not going to drop it--I don't want to drop it," Cham tells fans during a live broadcast earlier tonight, June 3rd, 2009.
"Mixtape Messiah 7...I'm not dropping that either. I'm not putting out Mixtape Messiah right now, I'm not putting out Venom."
Before getting into details as to why he isn't planning on releasing those two discs, Chamillionaire took some time to adamantly clarify that there will not be another Paul Wallcollabo album.
"There will not be another Paul Wall and Chamillionaire album--there wont."
"Shout out to Paul, we're real cool right now, we got past all the beef and everything but there wont be another Chamillionaire and Paul Wall album."
"I don't see it in the future, it has nothing to do with beef with Paul--it has nothing to do with money because the label--they offered me, they told me alotta money, I could tell you how much right now and some people'll get mad, but it has nothing to do with that---its bigger than that."
Cham also says he's done with the mixtape saying he isn't dropping anymore after giving it some thought.

An Atlantic Records executive may have inadvertently let the cat out of the bag after posting a message via his twitter page regarding Jay-Z's Blue Print 3 release date.
The album, which is arguably one of the years most anticipated releases, has been at the center of much discussion after Jay bought his way out of making it a Def Jam release for a cool $5 million late last month.
According to Atlantic Records executive Sam Crespo, Blue Print 3 will be released via Jay-Z's RocNation with Atlantic assisting in marketing and promotions.
The album is slated to hit stores on September 11th, 2009 , celebrating the 8 year anniversary of Jay's first Blue Print in 2001.
"Hey we have Jay-Z Blueprint 3 album, going thru Atlantic," Crespo posted on his twitter page.
"1 album to be released September 11th anniversary of 1st Blueprint album."
Crespo then posted a correction via his Twitter page. "Correction, people, Jay-Z release is on RocNation, we're assisting in marketing and promotions. D.O.A. comin soon."
