Joey Bada$$ has a crazy buzz on the underground rap scene since his debut in 2012, and at only 18-years-old, has already fielded an offer from (and turned down) Jay-Z. Find out the status of their relationship below, via a new interview with Village Voice.
You’re the indie rapper who famously refused to sign with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. That’s pretty cool to be the one guy who turned down Jay-Z.
It wasn’t really a “turn down,” it was more of a mutual understanding. People and the media are going to change things to what they want to hear. It’s more, he seen my vision and he got what I was trying to do. That’s what it was. He was like, “I see you little homie.”
Are you and Jay-Z still friends? Can you just text him whenever you want?
I wish, man. A lot of relationships you think that rappers have with each other are not true. It’s fiction.
