Ma$e Accuses Diddy of Cheating Artists Out of Money and Publishing Rights

Ma$e, a former Bad Boy Records artist, has made serious allegations against his former label boss, Sean “Diddy” Combs. In a series of Instagram posts and interviews, Mase claims that Diddy cheated him and other artists out of money and publishing rights.

Ma$e says that he signed a contract with Bad Boy Records in the early 1990s that gave Diddy 50% of his publishing rights, even after he left the label. He also claims that Diddy pressured him to stay with Bad Boy by offering him money for a second album but never actually paying what he was owed.

Ma$e also suggests that Diddy presented himself as a mentor (“Brother Love”) but behind the scenes used intimidation tactics. He implies that Diddy or people associated with him threatened him physically on multiple occasions.

Ma$e claims that Diddy’s mother was listed as the owner of publishing rights, making it difficult to sue. He also mentions other Bad Boy artists who allegedly had similar experiences, including The Lox, Craig Mack, and Cassie.

Diddy has denied these claims. In a statement to TMZ, Diddy said, “I have never cheated or swindled anyone in my entire career. The allegations made against me are nothing more than a sad attempt to extort money from me and my company.”

Ma$e’s allegations are serious and could have a significant impact on Diddy’s reputation and career. It remains to be seen whether Mase will take legal action against Diddy.

It is important to note that these are just accusations. Diddy has denied these claims and has not been charged with any crimes.

The allegations against Diddy are part of a larger conversation about the music industry and the treatment of artists. Many artists have spoken out about being taken advantage of by their labels, and Mase’s allegations are just another example of this issue.
