Bryson Tiller<\/a> may be a huge fan of Drake<\/a>, but when he got the opportunity to sign with him, it didn’t pan out. During a recent appearance on\u00a0the\u00a0New Rory & Mal\u00a0podcast,<\/a> he explained why, revealing that it all came down to poor communication.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m being so blunt. Honest,” he began. “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 was hounding me, they was flying me, they was trying to get me away from Drake.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOVO is really in my blood,<\/a> for real. 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,” he explained.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the Kentucky-born artist flew to New York and signed with RCA instead, which he wasn’t happy about. \u201cI get there, and they\u2019re like, \u2018Yeah, we\u2019re here to sign with RCA,'” he recalled. “I was pissed about it.\u201d Before sealing the deal, however, he was sure to shoot Drake one final text just to be sure.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe never hit back,” he admitted. “And I know he’s just busy, super busy dude. I\u2019m not saying that he didn\u2019t want me to sign or whatever, but at that moment, I’ve got a kid. And I’ve got 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<\/a><\/p>\n

According to Tiller, people still speculate about whether signing with OVO would have made him a bigger or smaller artist. He says that for him, it’s never been about the fame.<\/a><\/p>\n

Tiller’s remarks come just a few weeks after the release of The Vices, the first half of a double album. The second half of the project, Solace, is expected to drop in October of this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bryson Tiller may be a huge fan of Drake, but when he got the opportunity to sign with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17176,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[264],"tags":[15463,1447,18,117,1038,19,17,337,5],"class_list":{"0":"post-17175","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-bryson-tiller","9":"tag-drake","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-hip-hop-news","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-music","16":"tag-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17175"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17175\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
