Jermaine Dupri has pulled Mark Curry‘s card, claiming that the ex-Bad Boy artist’s recent claims about a slapfight between Diddy and longtime rival Suge Knight were bogus.
Curry made the claims during an episode of The Art of Dialogue, which dropped on Sunday (December 10). Curry appeared to back up claims initially made by Gene Deal back in February, in which Deal once again countered the long-standing rumors that Diddy’s then-bodyguard Wolf (who has since passed away) killed Big Jake – who was a close friend and bodyguard of Suge.

Curry also backed up Deal’s account of Knight slapping Dupri, and claimed that Knight slapped Diddy as well. But Dupri took to his Instagram stories on Monday (December 12) to call BS on the whole claim.
“Yo! Greg and @markcurry,” he wrote. “Is y’all n-ggas must be making a comic book? How much dey paid y’all to make that shit up? [laughing face emojis].” Check it out below.

Mark Curry has taken many opportunities to bash Diddy, especially in the recent past.
Back in September, the ex-rapper — who released a book, Dancing with the Devil: How Puff Burned the Bad Boys of Hip Hop, in 2009 — posted a lengthy video on Instagram addressing his former label boss’ decision to give musicians full control over their catalogs, pointing out that it is still in Puff’s best interest.
“What’s it worth now?” he asked. “He gave me mine back a long time ago … That’s disrespectful — I said why don’t you just keep it and pay me? I don’t want the publishing; I want the money.”
The caption of the Instagram clip read: “Diddy gave the publishing back.:. So what.. it has no value… I want him to give me a million cash and then I can plan the rest of my life out well.”

In the comments section, Curry put things in perspective by adding: “Ever had somebody owe you 50 dollars.. when you needed it back.. they didn’t pay you.. then by the time they do pay you.. the 50 dollars doesn’t mean the same as it did when you needed it?
“That’s how I feel… I wanted that when it was making money.. not after it’s all gone.. what ima do with that? I’m fact.. it’s an insult.”
