T.I. fans ponder what would have happened if he signed with Diddy and Bad Boy #InsideTheLabelBET

Early in his career, T.I. went through a deal with Arista Records, before going independent. When T.I. built his buzz in the streets, many labels decided to pursue him. The top two contenders for T.I. was Atlantic Records and Bad Boy Records.

Growing up and watching Diddy, as Puff Daddy, dominate the rap game, T.I. strongly considered signing with Bad Boy. In the end, however, he decided to do his own thing at Atlantic Records. He and his partner, Jason Geter, plotted their industry takeover.

As fans know, T.I. would go on to become one of the top five rappers in the game and a top exec. But, with “Inside The Label” spotlighting T.I.’s career, fans had a lot to say. A few of them questioned how things would be different if T.I. actually signed with Bad Boy.
