Vibe asked Big Boi if Janelle Monae was signed to him or Diddy and he answered that she's signed to him.

At this point, she's signed to at least four people and companies, it seems. Big Boi, Bad Boy, Atlantic and her own Wondaland Arts Society. But, I don't think anyone has ever doubted that Big Boi was the first big player to discover her.

But, Bad Boy is no stranger to dealing with artists who first signed some sort of production or label deal with a smaller company or individual, whether it be 112 and B5 having deals with Kevin Wales, Gorilla Zoe, Boyz N Da Hood and Yung Joc having deals with Block Entertainment or Janelle Monae.
