In a recent interview, rapper DeeBaby shared why he has yet to sign with a major label despite offers following his growing success. The artist stressed his need for creative freedom and impatience with the delays that come from coordinating with other industry players. “I’m not going to wait on nobody,” DeeBaby said, highlighting his preference to control his music releases on his own schedule.
Known for intense studio marathons—once recording non-stop for two and a half weeks—DeeBaby values independence, saying he wants to avoid label-enforced scheduling and restrictions on his artistic process. Though he acknowledged the temptation and admitted he’s not closed off to signing, he remains focused on self-managing his career.
DeeBaby’s dedication is evident in projects like his 26-track *Salazar* and the upcoming *Junkie Mode 2*. His journey, spanning over 15 years before viral success, exemplifies hard work, growth, and insistence on authenticity in today’s music landscape.
