According to the New York Post, Bad Boy‘s Sean “Diddy” Combs may be contemplating leaving Warner Music Group‘s Atlantic Records for Interscope in the next few months. His upcoming album Last Train to Paris was scheduled to release this November, but may be delayed because of the label jump.
“He’s holding off on releasing [the album] until April,” an insider told theNew York Post. “If he doesn’t renegotiate his contract, he might end up releasing on Interscope.”
Because Diddy is a good friend of Intersope CEO JimmyIovine, a partnership is not difficult to imagine, although Bad Boy without Diddy is to some, unimaginable. Diddy‘s spokeswoman was unable to comment on the issue.
In other news, Saigon is doing more than finishing up his album Warning Shots 2, which will release on Oct. 6. He will also be participating in a charity event put on by In Arms Reach to give back to children with incarcerated parents. Scheduled to take place at City College in Harlem, NY, the non-profit event will see Saigon personally giving kids guidance in the fields of art and music, and facilitating them with the tools they need to realize their full potential.
This is not the first time Saigon has participated in the event, which gives him an opportunity to give back to the community. The event takes place at Harlem City College on Sept. 29 from 5-7 PM.
