Harlem-bred rapper Ma$e rose to notoriety as an artist on Diddy’s Bad Boy Records roster in the late ’90s and early aughts. Although Ma$e has three studio albums in his discography, he made a name for himself primarily thanks to his 4x-platinum debut Harlem World.
Over 20 years later, Murda Mase is back with a new track called “Oracle 2: The Liberation Of Mason Betha,” a nod to his government name. But this is no ordinary single; the track is dedicated to trashing Bad Boy founder Diddy, accusing him of exploiting Biggie’s death.
As he spits, “Yeah, I’m just a Harlem n-gga reppin’ down a Vegas strip with my own Suge/You from Mt. Vernon, n-gga, go and rep your own hood/I’m not hating on your Billi worth/Right now, I’m only saying what you really work/You ain’t no architect/You just a n-gga who know how to market death.”
Diddy, of course, was partially raised in Mt. Vernon and attended an all-boys Roman Catholic high school in the Wakefield neighborhood in the Bronx. The school’s campus borders Mount Vernon in neighboring Westchester County.
Ma$e eventually retired from Hip Hop to pursue a career as a pastor. He soon became an ordained minister at Clark Atlanta University. In 2004, Ma$e returned from a five-year hiatus with his comeback album, Welcome Back.
As far as Ma$e’s relationship with Diddy, he aired out some of his grievances in 2020 via a since-deleted Instagram post.
“Your past business practices knowingly has continued purposely starved your artist and been extremely unfair to the very same artist that helped u obtain that Icon Award on the iconic Bad Boy label,” he wrote. “For example, u still got my publishing from 24 years ago in which u gave me $20k. Which makes me never want to work w/ u as any artist wouldn’t.”
Ma$e also revealed he offered Diddy $2 million for his masters, but the Hip Hop mogul would only oblige if he could beat the “European guy’s” offer, even though Diddy supposedly paid just $20,000 over two decades ago.
“You bought it for about 20k & I offered you 2m in cash,” he added. “This is not black excellence at all.”
'Making The Band' Rapper Predicts Grim Future For Diddy: 'Your Legacy Is Fucked'
Diddy’s business practices have been under scrutiny over the last few weeks after an old clip of Making The Band resurfaced online. Former contestants Willie Taylor, Freddy P and Babs Bunny came forward with their negative experiences on the show.
Diddy reacted to the chatter with an Instagram post that read, “STOP ALL YOUR CRYING, BITCHING & MOANING. HUSTLE HARDER OR GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR WAY. – LOVE.”
If I was Puff, I wouldn’t sell the masters for 2 mill either. Please. You make an offer, it’s rejected. Then you make a doss track. A crappy song too. Puff must just laugh in his limo.
Hey,Fuck you. Are you one of Diddy’s bottom boys or something. How would you feel if someone owned your masters, royalties, and publishing and wouldn’t sell it back to you when you have the money to finally buy it back for what it’s worth. Diddy just loves the power he holds over men which you already know. All Mase wants is what he’s deserves, he’s earned that especially if he has the money to buy it back and Diddy ain’t really making much money from it like you think anyways. If Diddy refused to sell to you, I’m pretty sure if you were straight and not a butt slave you’d be mad too and would be dissing him too.

You sound like you sucking puffs cock
Diddy was born and raised in Harlem, he moved to Mount Vernon at 12. Been a false narrative for years.
Naw, Diddy was born in Hell but raised in between Andre Harrell’s ass cheeks.
F*** Diddy, Been saying this since 93. He’s been robbing his artist just like his mentor Andre Harrell. He’s still ain’t paying Biggie’s Estate hardly anything since he owns most the publishing, and all the masters. He screws over all his artist that way. Having them out the publishing in his name and he keeps the money. And the worst thing is that he won’t ever let you buy them back even when you get enough money to buy them back. F*** Him.
Masters was 20k and you didn’t have the business acumen to buy your worth then? Now you crying after somebody else investment grew. Hind sight and retrospect sting like no other “pastor”. Diss tracks 20 years later is not respectable. This is a pity party for people that do bad business.
Diddy is a greedy heartless bastard anyways. He purposely kept the East Coast/West Coast Beef going to help drive up Biggie and Bad Boy Records net worth and since he owns almost all Biggie’s publishing and masters. Then he sets Big up and pretty much gets him killed and Biggie and Bad Boy Records net worth skyrockets. Nobody else benefited from it except Diddy. He still gets paid for every record sold, stream, and used commercial purposes. He gets paid for every movie,every documentary, every TV special about Biggie, and Merchandise. It’s the only thing that really keeping Bad Boy Records alive even right now cuz MGK definitely ain’t selling and French Montana is absolute garbage.
That doesn’t make sense.
It seems he would’ve been more rich with biggie in life than death just like with Mase. Why would he set biggie up to be killed? I do think he is a greedy money hungry leech who feeds off of his starving artists, but having them killed? I don’t think so.
Hats off to Ma$e. Bout time, better late than never I guess
Fuck Diddy
he put it out there…murder mase getting some bars out there…get rid of that auto tune shit though
“Thrashed”
Lol
Whatever
Ma$e sounds fire in 2022 ????
Murder Mase is back. Auto tune aside, he went in on this shit.
That’s the thing about snakes too. They always term their fuck shit as working harder when the ironic thing is that they don’t work hard at all. Just feeds into the narrative of American capitalism of money worship, so people try to get it by any means.
2pac: 97, Diddy: -4.5
whats the worst that can happen.
I always knew the Diddy on Chappelle Show Makin The Band was the real Diddy. Signing to Duke is lyk signing to Cash Money, One Way In and Now Way Out! Funny he named his album dat.
MASE STILL PUMP FAKING OUT HERE? 1. DISS TRACK 2. ANNOUNCE AN ALBUM 3. RUN BACK TO THE CHURCH DOWN SOUTH. RINSE REPEAT. MASE IS A BIRD.
So is your mom, that’s why you’re here so be thankful.
STRUGGLE DISSIN. JUST LIKE MASE.
I doubt he`s even allowed to put out an album in his own name.
Diddy probably owns all of it.
Hate the autotune, but surprisingly nice flow from otherwise.
Trash
Hah well I’m glad y’all fixed it
where the fuck has mase been.
SONG IS TRASH
Wow a 90’s rapper signed a bad contract, and doesn’t own his masters. Shocking. Oh wait it’s a tale as old as time. Everybody hates on Puff but with out him Made and Biggie are just some dudes on Duck Down Records or something.
