Jim Jones could have been a much bigger boss.

Capo had the chance to sign both J. Cole and Drake but turned them both down.

During a recent interview, he explained why he passed on Drake.

"Drake definitely ran across my desk. I got a call from Alan Grunblatt, I think I was on tour, and Alan was like, ‘I got this guy named Drake uh he’s an actor he’s on Degrassi.’ I’m like, ‘Who the f*ck is Drake on Degrassi?’ He let me hear him rapping like this boy could rap his ass off," Jones explained.

“Then I looked at him. I’m like, ‘Boy, what do you mean? What am I going to do with boy? He’s an actor, he’s in a wheelchair on the Disney Channel.’ I’m like, ‘Boy, I don’t know how to make this work out.' Once again, I just wasn’t seeing past what I seen in front of me and sh*t like that.”

We guess this is why Drake tried to get Jimmy out of that wheelchair.
