Diddy gives artists their publishing rights.
- Thread starter woodchuck
- Start date
Most didn't understand the significance
And those who knew? Didn't want to share the info.
blinded by that advance money
Folk didn't always have avenues like social media to distribute their art. Like said, some didn't really know, but many, at that time just wanted to be heard. They wanted to be on the radio and famous and rich and "stars", so they would damn near sign anything, while they were unknown and dreaming, to try and make that happen. Only later, once they get famous and see someone making more off of their music than themselves do they decide they shouldn't have signed it over....but the question remains, would they have made it if they had not signed it over to the company that took it and made them famous.

He knows he can't move forward and be taken seriously without repairing his tattered reputation so he's buying it back. Whatever his next venture is it won't lift off the ground if he remains as unlikable as he is. Period. This is a business decision... he needs his reputation in order to continue and it's just too toxic. We'll see if it works. Also, big rebrand relaunch of something significant coming... we'll see if this move helps/ works.
People keep saying that like a new unknown 90`s artist can tell a record company back then that you are going to pay me x amount of money and let me keep my publishing.
Very few of his artists would have made it without that Bad Boy marketing machine pushing them.
Again they ain't know the business
Most who DID use lawyers didn't realize those same lawyers were tied with the label
And OGs themselves didn't know or didn't want the new kids to benefit from the knowledge they received late when they themselves were unable to.
Right, I believe it's 30 years
Imagine how difficult be to turn down 200k when they come from nothing especially when its not tied to anything illegal. Shit there's folk from middle class fams that won't refuse that amount
It's heartbreaking.
He got a new albulm coming out.. he goes by love now. So love got to be a likable person
Wonder if the black godfather passing had something to do with this change of heart
Puff used the oldest trick in the book
He told artists it cost too much to start a publishing company
Just make your publishing a division of Justin combs music and he would give them their money once the check came in
Always gave them shorts
True some of these artists should had lawyers look over their contracts, but nevertheless, puffy took advantage of most of these people.
yup ^^^
I even heard Biggie mention it before his death
Big was young had a kid and he was like I need that money NOW
he wasn't looking at it like a lifelong investment or Puff snaking him
Puff SHOULD have helped his "brother" out.

He did it but they were unaware cause I believe if they knew they were being billed for all of that things might of went a little different.
As time went on he couldn't do that shit to the rest of em cause they learned the business....Mase got what was owed to him and retired the next day,Mack sued him and won,Da Lox protested
I was just shit talking Diddy the other day because of this very thing. Now, I got to eat crow just a little. But still, fuck him.
I'm sure he's long stroking these hoes with extra satisfaction because he won y'all petty beef.

Lawyer looks it over tells them Puffy is fucking them over
You really think they wouldn't sign anyway if Puffy is telling them to take the deal or else he will find someone else to sign?
We are talking about Puffy the hit making machine in his prime music years at that.
Continue to shit talk him, cause we don't know the terms of the release and word is Keefee D may possibly mention Diddy involvement in Pacs death. And those Bad Boy artists may know something as well
What's crazy is the fact he's still alive after all those years doing grimey shit to his artist.
You know what I may be reaching a little bit, but homeboys trying to do a little distraction technique. Remember he gave a good chunk of money to Elon musk to buy Twitter and you see the Saudi Arabia bullshit is happening right now, so yeah, keep that in back of your head just in case.
Well doing this is brilliant promotion (if that's all he did it for we don't know)
This is not a one news cycle thing.
Entertainment media will be talking about this for LONG time
Hmmmm....
Yeah I think you reaching but just for the record let's leave this here.
