Sean Kingston Claims He Almost Signed Drake Before He Blew
During a May conversation with No Jumper, Sean Kingston claimed Drake wanted to sign with him in his early career.
“I was around Jas Prince and a lot of the Rap-A-Lot people earlier,” he said. “I gotta let you know, this is crazy right here… nobody ever knew this. Drake hit Jas up back in the day like, ‘Yo, I wanna sign with Sean Kingston.’ I heard ‘Replacement Girl’ and I’m hearing all this early Drake and I’m like, ‘This guy’s a star.’”
He continued, “And then it came to it, I think they said he wanted like $200,000 and a Maybach and something like that, but I had just signed, ya feel me? So I was like, ‘Damn, I don’t know if I’ve got $200,000 right now but I wanna sign this guy.’ And he ended up being Drake.”
Sean Kingston is gearing up to release his Deliverance album soon, which will serve as his first album in eight years. The lead single “Darkest Times” dropped in May and features G Herbo – listen below.
