Joey Bada$$ Denies Roc Nation Rumors
Joey Bada$$ shuts down any immediate hopes that Hov is signing him to his label….unless he puts out that 3 million. From The Source:
“They actually announced it on the radio that I signed with them — that was dumb as f*ck,” Joey said in an interview. “Won’t sign to no major, for no wager, less than a 3 million offer of the top, I be in a box when my coffin drops, why settle for an office spot? That type of thing, you know. Not really, major labels is just not where my head is at right now, you know? [Independent?] Yeah, that’s more of where my head is at, ’cause that’s what I’m tryna to do, I’m tryna go more independent.”
