Ma$e is calling foul on Diddy’s recent comments at the Clive Davis’ recent pre-Grammys gala, essentially calling the Bad Boy Records founder a hypocrite.
Days after Diddy called out the Recording Academy for its treatment of Hip Hop artists, the former Bad Boys signee took to Instagram to put Diddy on blast for the way he’s treated him over the years. In his lengthy caption, Ma$e accuses the Hip Hop mogul of snatching his publishing for way less than it’s worth.
“@diddy I heard your #Grammy speech about how u are now for the artist and about how the artist must take back control,” he began. “So I will be the first to take that initiative. Also, before we ask of other ethnicities to do us right we should do us as black people better. Especially the creators. I heard u loud and clear when u said that u are now for the artist and to that my response is if u want to see change you can make a change today by starting with yourself.
“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 Badboy label. 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 after u know someone is robbing you & tarnishing your name when u don’t want to comply w/ his horrendous business model.”
The 44-year-old MC says he wanted to stay silent until he was financially stable. He then reveals he recently offered Diddy $2 million cash to buy back his publishing, but Diddy said he’d have to match “what the European guy” offered him.
“However, people would always ask what’s up w/ Mase? So I would be forced to still perform to not look crazy when I was getting peanuts and the robbery would continue. So many great moments and people lives in music were lost. But again, I rode with u in the face of death without flinching & u still wouldn’t do right. I never said anything because I wanted to wait until I was financially great so I can ensured that I was addressing this from a pure place and not out of spite. To add insult, u keep screaming black excellence and love but I know love isn’t free.”
“So I offered u 2m in cash just a few days ago to sell me back my publishing(as his biggest artist alive) that always show u respect for u giving me an opportunity at 19 yrs old. Your response was if I can match what the EUROPEAN GUY OFFER him that would be the only way I can get it back. Or else I can wait until I’m 50 years old and it will revert back to me from when I was 19 years old. You bought it for about 20k & I offered you 2m in cash. This is not black excellence at all. When our own race is enslaving us. If it’s about us owning, it can’t be about us owning each other. No More Hiding Behind “Love”. U CHANGED? GIVE THE ARTIST BACK THEIR $$$. So they can take care of their families.”
Ma$e signed to Bad Boy Records in the late 90s. Between 1996 and 1999, he racked up six Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 singles and five No. 1 singles on the U.S. Rap chart. In 1997, he dropped the Grammy-nominated album Harlem World, which was ultimately certified 4x-platinum by RIAA.
On January 20, he released The Complete Albums project, which boasts a staggering 50 tracks and clocks in at just under three hours.
Interestingly enough, he also performed during the Pre-Grammy Gala and Grammy Salute to Industry Icons honoring Diddy on January 25 in Beverly Hills.
I’ve said it for years: Diddy is toxic for the hip hop community. Diddy has always and will always look out for self
He’s a snake. The only person who makes money out of bad boy is Diddy. If Biggie was still alive he would have followed all the other artists who left disgruntled claiming Diddy has stolen from them
I think that’s y Diddy got big killed, y u think diddy was in the other car lol
Diddy has been butt raping his artist for over 25 years… Nobody’s who’s left Bad Boy has really had a good career after that.
Usher had a great career.
U mean Herpes Raymond….he wasn’t signed to Bad Boy…he just hung out with Diddy…a lot…..wait…..THAT HOW HE GOT HERPES…..LOL
Check out gene deal channel on youtube
Can’t trust Gay Ass Diddy no ways
Diddy ain’t like Dr. Dre…. all of his artist love him…diddy
Diddy is a fraud just like Jay. Most rich Black people are just as dirty if not more than white people. Dre, 50, everybody. They only talk this pro black nonsense for hits and image. The sooner people realize it, the sooner they will get over it.
The simple fact is that nobody cares much about anybody other than themselves and their family. Ya lame ass internet ninjas crying about it are no better. Minute y’all have a chance to get a ome money you’d sell out ya local potnas too!
Long story short, stop believing in these entertainers and do for self!
I wouldn’t put 50 in there. He spoon fed his artists on g unit.
When did Dre talk pro-black shit. He don’t give af.

Man you forgot so much.
– How he abandoned Mark Curry. Loon, and G-Depp
– How he treated and abandoned everyone from Da Band
– How he treated Gene Deal
– How he treated The Lox
– How he did nothing for Biggie’s children and family financially
– How Biggie was unhappy and felt robbed and wanted to start his own label
I mean, Diddy’s list goes on and on…
THAT PART!!!!!!!!!
Baby sweating like a mf knowing hes about to be outted.. i love how diddy doesnt even pratice what hd preaches.. black excellence..based on real black artist talent u robbed
IS THAT YOU BEFFA?!
Diddy is the Black version of Harvey Weinstein… with the bathrobe hanging open and everything…smh
Except diddy really is low key gay and sucking on the euro dicks. Frfr
Ain’t no low key about it…Diddy is gayer than a San Francisco Butt Plug Convention
Out Fuckin Standing…Not enough respect in the world for Ma$e right now. I was hoping I wasn’t the only one doing a double take when I read Diddy’s virtue signal
I’m sorry, I don’t care how “hood” you are or none of that, if you sign a contract without having a professional read it, that’s your fault. He ain’t put a gun to none of these niggas heads. 50 bent over backwards for G-Unit and them niggas still acted like he owed them something. Without Puff we wouldn’t have heard from none of these guys, or if we did it would’ve been on a lower level. Something happen to him, keep this same energy, fuck all the eulogies and oh he wasn’t as bad as we said shit, I’m TIRED of niggas period! Get your own, or shut the fuck up…
Puff sees it from a different point of view and Mase sees it from a fairness point of view.
Puff see it from the tip of his d**k..Mase is just now able to stand up after being on all fours taking it doggy style for decades. MGK……This is your fate too.
Mase was already making moves with children of the corn before he met puff. Along with Big L, Camron and Herb McGruff they all got signed up by different labels. Mase was going to get signed by a big label anyway. Yes puffy signed him and helped him reach a bigger audience and hooked him up with hitmen producers.
However, mase did a lot for Puff and badboy. For a start he wrote a lot of puffs raps, especially around can’t nobody hold me down where puff basically got mase to write his verses and he rapped in the exact same way as mase – a lot of songs like that. Another one would be puffs verse on mo money no problems. Other than that it was mase who was a big part of badboys success post Biggie.
And anyway if you did sign a dodgy contract at a young age, and you didn’t check it properly and you’re signed with someone who’s supposed to have your back. How are you going to continue working with that person when you know they been taking advantage of you. Mase made a mistake by signing without clearing it all with a lawyer, but this is a mistake that many young people do or did, that’s not totally their fault. They are young, don’t know how the industry works and then they come across people like puff who take advantage of them. Exploiting peoples weaknesses. Imagine puff walking away after getting mase to sign over his publishing and thinking to himself, yes that idiot mase just signed over his publishing to me, watch how I get him to work like a dog and take most of the money he makes. He goes home and has a good night’s sleep knowing he’s fucked over another naive young black male. Rather than educating these guys he’s ripping them off and then jumping about like look how rich I am – yes you are but on whose backs did you make that money and in a way that’s considered shady in anyway type of way.
I feel all that, but how come everytime Mase comes back, and he’s done it about 1000 times, he finds himself around Puff somehow? The Lox, the first ones who started all this, keep trying to work with him, admitting that a lot of that shit was their fault??
Like the L.O.X skit said rapping you record’s.
If Diddy is so bad, why did Made go back multiple times??? Fraud Pastor Mase
Cuz when you’re broke and desperate and some dangles a peace of meat in front of the cage…. can’t help but bite.
Someone
I’m sure being signed to Diddy is better than being signed to nobody, but he’s right to point out that Diddy is a bullshit hypocrite.
He was still under contract with Puff. He even tried to go to G-Unit in 2005 but wouldn’t let go of his contract. Diddy wanted 50 to pay him 2 million for his contract at the time and 50 said “Mase ain’t worth 2 million, with 2 million in his pocket” Lol Now Mase offers him 2 million and still won’t let him go
“Ma$e signed to Bad Boy Records in the late 90s. Between 1996 and 1999″…. so since when was 1996 considered late 90s? Last time i checked mid years were from 94 – 96, 04 – 06, 14 – 16 and so on.
Expect the unexpected. P Diddy is gay. Either a puppet or just gay. Don’t like something move around! Know your worth yeah.
I don’t t agree with Puff tactics but what’s different from what he did and any other record label executive. Find the next young talent, give em a couple of dollars and then all executives know young artist during that time period ain’t gonna read the contract from first page to last page let alone get a lawyer to help them out. By the time said artist get smart it’s too late … you signed over your publishing that you will never get back. Puff took advantage of Mase lack of business acumen.
Diddy is like Berry Gordy, except he loves male sodomy
Sways .. so you see that the same way as it a white manager had them sign them sign & they didn’t read, right?!?!? Because it’s bullshit for Diddy or anyone to do artist this way!
“before we ask of other ethnicities to do us right we should do us as black people better.” SPOT ON! WTF i like this guy now. Finally someobody says this..
Diddy is an Uncle Tom ass mutha fuck@. He exploits young black artists and takes advantage of them with these shitty contracts. Ma$e is 100% right. Diddy is just a politician in the music industry. You can see the hypocrisy seeping through his greasy pores. Mase, Shyne, Loon, Black Rob, Cassie, Danity Kane, Day26, etc have all been shafted by Diddy. If you are signed to one of his erroneous contracts and want more money, he silences your music and cuts you off from performing or creating new material. That’s his tactic. And guess who else following his footsteps?? Fat ass DJ Khaled. And another one.
I think people would like to see him release more music. mmm was his only album in the last ten years.
Sauce Money and Ma$e finna take puff down. im here for it.
Ma$e one of the most underrated rappers ever. Collab with Kanye mase!
No he’s not. What work or songs are you referring to?
He’s not underrated at all. Not that talented.
I think you’re just being nostalgic but would love a reply.
Puff Daddy is a scum bag and he always talks about black excellence. Do the right thing Puff! You wonder why your personal life is a mess, things always come back to you
Ma$e saved bad boy after Biggie died! Pay what you owe Puff!
puffy was and always will be slime
“Can’t Nobody Take My Pride, Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down,Oh No I Have To Keep On Moving”, Ma$e once said…as P. Diddy then placed both hands on the back of Ma$e’s ass……yelled, It’s all about the Benjamin’s,baby.”… He’s always did everyone dirty like that….it’s nothing new.
I knew p.diddy was a wack human when he rolled over on young shyne in court! He`s as bad as 6 9! let them burn!!!
