Honest. The only reason I didn\u2019t sign [to OVO] is just because bro didn\u2019t hit me back one time. This was in a moment when my label, like, they was hounding me, they was flying me, they was trying to get me away from Drake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tiller added: \u201cI was like, \u2018Yo, OVO is really in my blood, for real.\u2019 I really have studied [Drake\u2019s] catalog. There\u2019s a couple of people that I really consider huge strands of my musical DNA, and Drake is one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"optanon-category-C0003\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9; width:100%; height:auto; display:block;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/S_v4312I0TM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He continued by revealing his reaction to signing with RCA: \u201cI get there, and they\u2019re like, \u2018Yeah, we\u2019re here to sign with RCA.\u2019 I was pissed about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tiller also revealed that he messaged Drake before making a final decision: \u201cHe never hit back. And I know he just busy, super busy dude. I\u2019m not saying that he didn\u2019t want me to sign or whatever, but at that moment, like, I had a kid; people back home that\u2019s looking at me like, \u2018Is he gonna do it? Is he gonna make it?\u2019 So I had to go with what was the most sure shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"underline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/hiphopdx.com\/news\/bryson-tiller-explains-passing-on-signing-to-drakes-ovo-sound\/\">Tiller previously said in 2015 about the deal<\/a>: \u201cIt was hard for me. As much as the whole Timbo thing made me feel like, \u2018I\u2019m buzzing out here, I\u2019m about to do it,\u2019 there was a lot of times where I really got discouraged and was just like, \u2018Man, this ain\u2019t gonna work. I don\u2019t even wanna be an artist,\u2019 just thinking negative things. I\u2019m a real pessimistic person at times. So I just started thinking, \u2018I need to sign to OVO or else I\u2019m not gonna be anybody. I need to go ahead and do this, this is what I want. This is how it\u2019s supposed to happen. I did the songs, the dope songs, Drake heard them and now he wants to sign me.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought that was the plan, or God\u2019s plan, but everything just went differently. That was one of the biggest decisions I ever had to make in my life. I\u2019m super na\u00efve when it comes to making business decisions. I signed to two independent labels before and neither of them worked out. This time, I had a whole team\u2026 We talked to 40 about it and even 40 was like, \u2018This is not a bad deal from RCA\u2019 so we just did it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopdx.com\/news\/bryson-tiller-reveals-why-he-never-signed-with-drake\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bryson Tiller has revealed why he never signed with Drake\u2018s record label, OVO Sound.
