Q-Tip reveals he tried to get Megan Thee Stallion signed to major labels
A Tribe Called Quest‘s Q-Tip recently revealed that he tried to get Megan Thee Stallion signed three years ago, but labels passed due to her social media views.During a recent episode of Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion, the rapper said he invited Stallion out to New York City in 2018 after seeing one of her rap videos online. The intention was to get the then-unknown Houston artist signed to a label, but neither Columbia nor Def Jam were interested, despite Q-Tip’s own co-sign.“I said ‘I’m signing artists up at Columbia, I want to fly you [Stallion, her mum and her team] all in’,” he said.“The head of the company wasn’t there, Ron Perry, I guess he was detained, but we took the meeting anyway,” he continued.
