Previously a bad boy cameraman, Mase criticized director Sean John Combs bad boy records he claims he offered Diddy $2 million for his release, but was told he needed a better offer.
rapper maseone of diddyBad Boy Records’ biggest star takes to Instagram to call the mogul a hypocrite over his Grammy speech.
“Diddy, I heard your #Grammy speech about how you are now as an artist and how an artist has to take back control. So I’ll be the first to take that initiative. Also, before we ask other ethnic groups to treat us well, we need to treat ourselves better as black people. Especially creators. I heard you loud and clear when you said that you are now an artist and my response was if you want to see a change, you can make a change today starting with yourself,” she said.
According to the rapper, he says he wants diddy stop hiding behind ‘LOVE’ and give artists back the money they deserve.
“Your past business practices continued to knowingly starve your artist and were grossly unfair to the very artist who helped you get that Icon Award on the iconic Badboy label. For example, you still have my release from 24 years ago where you gave me $20k. That’s why I never want to work with you any more than any artist would after finding out that someone is ripping you off and tarnishing your name when you don’t want to follow their horrible business model. However, people were always asking what is going on with Maseo? So he would force me to keep acting so I wouldn’t go crazy when they gave me peanuts and the robbery would continue. So many great moments and human lives have been lost in music. But then again, I rode with you into death unfazed and you still wouldn’t do the right thing. I never said anything because I wanted to wait until I was financially excellent to make sure I was coming into this from a place of purity and not spite. Adding insult to injury, he keeps screaming black excellence and love, but I know love ain’t free.”
He also talked about how he offered Diddy $2 million for his release, but was told he needed a better offer.
“So I offered them 2 million cash just a few days ago to sell me my release (as their biggest living artist), which always shows respect for giving me a chance at 19. His response was that if he could match what the EUROPEANS OFFER him, that would be the only way he could get it back. Or I can wait until I’m 50 and they’ll give it back to me at 19. You bought it for about 20 grand and I offered you 2 million cash. This is not black excellence at all. When our own race enslaves us. If it’s about being owners, it can’t be about owning each other. There is no more hiding behind “Love”, she added.
He ended his message with the words “HAVE YOU CHANGED? GIVES THE ARTIST BACK HIS $$$. So they can take care of their families.”
Let’s wait for Diddy’s response.
