Diddy Denies Doing Former Artists Dirty

Monday, August 23 2010 1:24 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand Stan

Diddy says he’s gotten a bad rap. In the August/September issue of VIBE, the Bad Boy founder claims there’s a stigma placed upon him as a label boss.

….There’s an off perception that needs to be addressed about me that I have ever robbed somebody or mistreated somebody. Or tried to be ruthless or whatever in this game. Like, all this year I’ve heard people say, “Where’s Carl Thomas, where’s Black Rob, where’s G.Dep? Where are these artists?” And for some reason they go ahead and equate that, cause those artists aren’t with me, that I’ve done something wrong or malicious or conniving. It’s something that I do have a problem with because they don’t have no proof that I’ve ever done nothing like that.

Does this really bother you, because you’ve talked about this before.

It’s a misconception. Especially someone who’s been brought up like me. I’ve been brought up to work hard for mine and never take from nobody. And to always try and help people. But people don’t understand this game that were in. You have a short life expectancy. It’s rare to a me, to be a Jay-Z, an LL, a Nas. That shit is a rarity. That’s not even one percent of the rappers. If you look at any artists that were on Ruff Ryders, where they at? If you look at any artist that was on Def Jam at the time we started, where they at? If you look at any artist that was on Roc-A-Fella, Jive, where they at? It’s not like anything was wrong with them. It’s just that you have a four, five-year average in this game. That’s just something I wanted to address.

    @eminem_iz_#1
    I dont know how u say only a few artists making “real” rap and then say B.o.B.
    That dude sold out as soon as he got a chance, making those big happy chorusy songs, when he first came out just rapping and doing his own hooks. He is a sellout so hes no different then most rappers that blew up.
    Top 3 I gotta say

    Eminem
    Jay-Z
    50 Cent

    Just out of the power they have had becuase of music..

    Real shit, J. Cole has been making some good shit for a bit over 2 years now.
    Asher at least tried to make his money and go to what he does JUST RAP
    Drake, i think he does like rap. But i think he loves money wayyyy more (Jew (NO RACIST))
    Wale is starting to make club shit to up his show money i guess.
    MONEY! thats it, thats what they rap for… Dont cry if u dont like a song, just play something else

    PS
    @ White Person
    I agree, niggas just like to be niggas sometimes. Ha! Al Sharpton is the most racist person I know of right now. The past is past so just put it behind and go by skill, not color. I;m brown, doesnt mean I hate white chocolate.. I like me some blonde girls too. Im just saying tho. People gotta stop that stupid ignorant shit

    “It’s something that I do have a problem with because they don’t have no proof that I’ve ever done nothing like that.”

    NO PROOF. he never said he didnt do anybody wrong. he doesnt actually deny it. lets see what happens to dirty money, red cafe and the rest of his slaves

  8. Vee says:

    how did Eminem end up on a post about Diddy doing his artist right or wrong???

  9. AppeldP says:

    As long as i know Diddy, he was always supporting people!
    THX!

  10. AllWeAskIsTrust says:

    Diddy is a funny nigga.

    So I guess what he’s trying to say it that all the artists signed to Bad Boy had an four, five-year average?! And supports that idea with the extended careers of Jay, Nas, and LL as being a rarity within the industry?

    “Four, five-year average.”HA!

    What he fails to mention is that G.Dep and Loon were “one and done’s.” Who only dropped one album a piece, none of them receiving any RIAA certification.
    Black Rob dropped 2 albums, 1 went Platinum, the other received no RIAA certification.
    All his OTHER artists did nice numbers (either went Gold, Platinum, Multi-Platinum or Diamond).
    But these OTHER artists belonged to one or more than one of the following groups:
    Group A : Didn’t make the four, five-year average
    Group B: Were murdered or incarcerated
    Group C: Converted to a different religion
    Group D: Had something negative to say directly towards Diddy usually about unpaid wages or how they got jerked by him, etc.

    CORRECT ME IF I’M WRONG – ALL WE ASK IS TRUST

    Diddy has launched so many Rap music artists and R&B music artists and a lot of these artists have done really well out of Diddy. He is responsible through his Bad Boy Entertainment label for so many great Rap songs and so many classic Rap & Hip hop music videos but he is not solely responsible for any of these artists careers. For an artist to be successful it takes a number of factors all working together to create a successful artist and so even though Diddy can give each artist a platform and a showcase for their talents he cannot make them successful this partly has to come from the artist but I guess because of who he is he will always get the blame when things do not work out for the artists concerned.
