Jim Jones has been in the game for a long time. However, that doesn’t mean even the best don’t make mistakes sometimes.
During a new interview, the Dipset icon took a look back at the time he passed on signing Drake to a deal. Jones says he had no idea what to do with ‘Drizzy’ because of his appearance and career as an actor.
the Harlem native said…
“Drake definitely ran across my desk. I got a call from Alan Grunblatt, I think I was on tour, and Alan was like, ‘I got this guy named Drake uh he’s an actor he’s on Degrassi.’ I’m like, ‘Who the fuck is Drake on Degrassi?’ He let me hear him rapping like this boy could rap his ass off.”
Jones continued,
“Then I looked at him I’m like, ‘Boy what do you mean? What am I going to do with boy? He’s an actor, he’s in a wheelchair on the Disney Channel.’ I’m like, ‘Boy, I don’t know how to make this work out.’”
It’s easy to remember moments like that with regret, but the 45-year-old doesn’t have anything to worry about, given his accomplished career.
Until the next time it drips…
