Rapper Slim Jesus, who went viral for his 2015 hit song, “Drill Time,” recalled the time he walked away from a $1 million deal with Diddy.
“1 Million waiting on Slim Jesus when he come to Bad Boy Records,” Diddy tweeted back in 2015.
Slim Jesus shared a screenshot of Diddy’s offer, writing alongside it, “They said I was crazy when I ignored this years ago [shrug emoji, laughing emoji].”
The rapper turned down all major deals during the peak of his career.
“A little fun fact a lot of y’all don’t know. I been had offers from the same bullshit ass labels signing your favorite rappers. And you know how I feel about ’em? F-ck a label. We getting independent money, bitch,” he said in in the clip at the time: “F-ck a label #IndependentMoney”
