A close source to Diddy confirmed with Billboard that the rap mogul has taken on duties as a manager to Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross. Last weekend, it was reported that Nicki fired her former manager and Waka Flocka’s mom, Debbie Antney.

Why would anybody put their career in the hands of Puffy? Faith, 112, Da Band, The Lox, Total, Craig Mack, Loon, GDep & Black Rob wasn’t lesson enough for them?

@KAZ & @SASHA
COSIGN 100!!!!!! fuck is he thinking any way with nicki everyone knows she just a fad for the moment this bitch will not last she a fuckng retard
In his mind (more like dreams) –
Rick Ross = New Biggie
Nikki Minaj = New Lil Kim
Never gone duplicate that run…especially not with these two.
G ZUS says:
Everytime I hear someone else signs to diddy or let’s him run there career I don’t feel bad when they end up broke or no where to be found because honestly there’s enough examples to go around about how there going to end up…only person smart enough to get away was jeezy by signing a group 1 album deal with bad boy an doin the solo deal wit def jam if not he be next to young joc on the back of a milk carton

Sais says:
why is Red Cafe in the back looking like Fonsworth Bentley’s Gangsta Cousin?
ctg says:
The article says James Cruz (I believe of Violator Management) will be co-managing Minaj along with Diddy. Doesn’t say who is co-managing Ross with Diddy tho.
Who is the last artist Diddy managed? I know he was managing LL for a minute in the mid ’90s.
Ac@pella says:
@Ziggy
That makes perfect sense. Both think that they’re the new Biggie and Kim…crazy…either way, Puff is gonna fuck up their careers…Some how…Some way…
Ac@pella says:
@G ZUS
I totally agree witchu…w/e happened to Joc and that Gumby cut? Lol…
@ THE WHO
Stop fuckin spammin the posts bitch! Nobody gives a fuck a Prof. Griff jerkin niggaz. Public Enemy ain’t even relevant…fuck outta here…

Frontrunner says:
Sounds like power moves to me….they not signing to Bad Boy….if Minaj is a fad, shouldn’t she cake up during her run…by the way how long is a fad? Cuz this bitch been the number one female since her mixtape dropped? Safe to assume she won’t be around a year from now…and Puff and Ross work well together….
teejay says:
My god if I hear a single from rick ross with a biggie acapella thrown on…
SMH. I don’t think this is a good look for either artist. Diddy ain’t exactly been doin’ much for anyone but himself so imo this is all about him trying to recreate his glory days.. only these guys aren’t his artists. Anyways…. i’m sure it will result in promo for Last Train at some point.
Uhhhhh i don’t think anyone read the story….Its says MANAGE!!!!! Not sign to Badboy. Puff doesn’t have enough money to buy out Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj contract. He would have to put up a a large collateral on that investment. At the same time Waka Flocka was not heard of till he got shot so um……good look in getting rid of his mother. She needs to move away from Gucci’s crew and go international.
Rhyme says:
LMAO @ artist wanting to be manged by Diddy, when he himself is manged by Chris Lighty & Violator. and all know Ross cant go there though.
RapMusic23 says:
FUCK THEM BOTH
mike says:

@ Rick Ross & Nikki Minaj
PREPARED TO BE MORE IN DEBT!!!! THIS NIGGA CHARGES U FOR USIN’ THE AIR IN HIS OFFICE!!!! GOOD LUCK SUCKAS!!!! HA!!!!
Nicki minaj’s manager was Waka Flocka’s mom? What is this,six degrees of seperation? And I understand that Diddy is 1 of the biggest hustlers out there but does he not understand the saying “dont bite off more than you can chew?” Dude has a record lable,clothing line,tv shows,acts……..where is he gonna find time to manage 2 rappers that are not even signed to him
B.Digital says:
I wouldn’t consider this a fail.. Diddy as a manager can open up doors that other managers can only dream about. Also he knows every aspect of the music industry (unlike Nicki’s old manager), and can be a beast when it comes to negotiations.
Now if they signed to Bad Boy then they committed career suicide.
james bond says:
^not taking nothing from your post B. Digital, but Mz. A (Mizay Ent.) has done a well job as managing her artists, I have to give her that. If it wasnt for her, it WOULD NOT be a Gucci Lame (like we know him today), no OJ Da Juicecup, Wack-Ass Flames, and some others…and shit, up to this point, Nicki Minaj. So she has done a good job of keepin these artist relevant, especially in THESE times of hip-hop. Now I don’t like the music she manages (that’s my opinion tho), but in the ’00’s, Puffy has absolutely nothing on her in terms of management. He’s failed with almost every venture he’s done after 2001. Get real. Ciroq is his only hope, better keep promoting that.
BK says:
Haha and rick actually thinks he’s Biggy incarnate. To him this is a good move. What he don’t realise is that diddy’s gonna shit on him and then toss him to the side. I bet u ross changes maybach music to summat like bad boy maybach or some corny shit like that.
DIGGSY!!! says:
Not to sure about Ross’ situation but Nicki probably just wanted to get away from Mizay Ent. Word is theyre nothin but some thieves. Nicki prob wanted to go on Ri Ri’s tour but they probably fucked it up for her. Think about it. A few days after she says she cant go on the tour for a bullshit reason, she fires her manager. Plus Diddy got hella connections

This is always with Hiphop Moguls you will see Jay with Nas or Diddy at a party before you see him with bleek at a party same thing with Kanye you …. well Kanyee’s the Man cuz got Amber everywhere he go so Yea
But if You Notice Ludacris TI and 50 they always with they artist in pics
Who would let Diddy manage they career this is the same nigga who said he seen one of his artist smoke cracc in the studio and he didnt do anything
like If i was to have somebody Manage me it would Hiphop Since 1978 Violator or RocNation seeing as 50 is that nigga on Violator Ross aint getting on there and Hiphop since 1978 aint fuccing with you unless you got platinu plagues for every album
I would not let diddy manage my career tho he is not relevent in this game or any game anymore like he got money but it has nothing to do with Music
like come on Diddy is more seasoned than Jay-Z and he hoppin on O let’s Do it remix im not saying its a bad song but any nigga over that 36 age mark shouldnt be talking about you influence drug dealing especially a rich ass nigga like diddy even Fab it was kinda eh Like if Nipsey yea Nipsey aint getting on that wacc shit a Nigga Like Kevin Gates or webbie or boosie thats their lane but Come on Diddy your not influence on drug dealers cut it out
mr right says:
You know what it kills me when I look @ these comments about how yall fill about peoples career diddy has reinvented himself many times since the early 90’s every record he put out went platium even his artist went platium what in the hell yall did you probrobly wishing you were diddy and you mad because you can’t even leave your momas house still making the same demos for 10years saying the same thing. Get a day job stay your ass off here. I think its good for diddy to manage nicki and rick ross that’s going to add on and help there career more. And by the he had all of those reality show now if making the band didn’t make it it was there fault danity kane you can bring the horse to a well but you can’t make him drink it so you stupid wanna big rappers make a hit record so you can stand next to diddy you broke motherf******* now comment on that!!!!!
Fredro says:
Ross dont need diddy…imo its a power move diddy is super connected and it isnt like they are signing to bad boy….people hate on ross but dude has more bangers than he does weak joints…Nicki is the other factor….she is doing shows for 40k and she is at the top of the female rap game (not that hard plus she got a fat ass) so why not cash in and branch out using diddy
Jblack says:
People luv to hate stop with droping names like its diddy fault they not on right now… 112 had what 3 albums on bad boy all went 2x plat they left went to def jam had 2 albums the didnt go gold together… Faith had a few albums all plat on BB , got on drugs left and had a cd flop…Gdep got on the white… The Lox BACK ON BAD BOY!.. Black Rob still on BB and is in jail… Loon asked to leave to do his on lable now he in the nation..
Lets put this another way how many did diddy put on and help get them success… big, mase, faith, mary j blige, jodeci, lox, loon, carl thomas, usher, 112 the list is long..
[…] on the Ricky Smiley Morning Show, Ross confirmed that Diddy was now indeed his manager. Last week, Billboard got the heads up that he and Nicki Minaj were entrusting Puff with their […]

Minaj & Ross are both the epitome of what is WRONG with hiphop today. I hope they fade away sooner rather than later.
