Up-and-coming Brooklyn rapper Joey Bada$$ is refuting stories that he has inked a deal with Roc Nation. Joey revealed to The Source that he has not joined any major label and isn't really interested in joining one right now.

"They actually announced it on the radio that I signed with them -- that was dumb as f*ck," Joey said in the interview. "Won't sign to no major, for no wager, less than a 3 million offer of the top, I be in a box when my coffin drops, why settle for an office spot? That type of thing, you know. Not really, major labels is just not where my head is at right now, you know? [Independent?] Yeah, that's more of where my head is at, 'cause that's what I'm tryna to do, I'm tryna go more independent."
