Bryson Tiller Explains Decision Against Signing Drake's OVO Sound

Bryson Tiller revealed on the New Rory & Mal podcast that he never signed with Drake’s OVO Sound primarily because Drake did not respond to his messages during critical negotiations, leading Tiller to sign with RCA instead. Despite his admiration for Drake and OVO being deeply influential to his musical style, Tiller's team pressured him towards RCA, which he was initially unhappy about. He acknowledged the ongoing debate about whether signing with OVO would have made him a bigger or smaller artist, noting that fame was never his main pursuit. Recently, Tiller has openly discussed the emotional strain of being an artist and shared that he has been studying video game design as a potential career shift. He expressed that he would quit music if he found success in another field or could work behind the scenes, emphasizing that he continues to release music mainly to support his family. Tiller’s reflections provide insight into his career decisions and his evolving relationship with the music industry.
