Back when Tyler, The Creator and his Odd Future coconspirators took the rap world by storm, OG's like JAY-Z and Puff Daddy tried to sign the motley crew.

However, Tyler turned them down.

He explained why during a chat with DJ Drama.

"Jay-Z invited us to one of his L.A. homes & we just ate tacos. We ate some tacos & he wanted to sign us. I was like 'Man you're cool, but no.' Him, Puff… a lot of people were interested… I don't know, I just want creative control & I do everything," Tyler said.

Event though he said no, Tyler and Jay remained friends and have been supportive of each other over the years.
