After unleashing a venomous diss track against his former boss on Tuesday (March 15), Ma$e took to Instagram Live on Thursday (March 17) to explain why he dissed Diddy. Against an all-black backdrop, the former Bad Boy signee explained how his track “Oracle 2: The Liberation Of Mason Betha” was meant to be an empowering anthem for those too scared to criticize the label head.
“When I see the hurt and the pains of other people on Bad Boy that motivates me to say something so I don’t be deemed as a person who just made a bunch of money and turned a blind eye,” the Harlem World MC says. “I’m not gonna be like the rest of the people around Puff that don’t tell him he’s wrong. I’m not gonna be like the yes men around him that seem him ruining people’s lives and never tell him he’s wrong.”
He added, “More people on here would tell me I’m wrong but won’t say anything to him. They’ll judge my beliefs. They’ll judge my Christianity and they’ll say nothing to Puff. They’ll say nothing about ‘is a concert for Biggie and Biggie own daughter couldn’t get in.’ They’ll say nothing about that, but all of his friends got 50 and 60 tickets. We’re done with your games.”
The response comes as Diddy’s business practices continue to come under scrutiny in recent weeks. It all started when an old clip of Making The Band made the rounds online, with former contestants Willie Taylor, Babs Bunny, and Freddy P all speaking out on the harrowing experiences they had while under Diddy’s guidance on the show. Freddy P even said in a heartfelt video that he at one moment considered suicide.
Diddy eventually decided to address the controversy on his Instagram Stories, writing, “STOP ALL YOUR CRYING, BITCHING & MOANING. HUSTLE HARDER OR GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR WAY. – LOVE.”
Ma$e seemed to side with the former contestants’ in the diss track, as he criticized Diddy for allegedly exploiting Biggie’s death.
“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,” he spits.
This wasn’t the first time Ma$e had aired frustrations against the Bad Boy mogul. He previously criticized him in a since-deleted Instagram post back in 2020.
“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.”

Diddy has and will always be a snake that should never be trusted. Fuck Diddy.
Why didn’t you do this 25 years ago when he was robbing you back then? Now you’re just clout chasing cuz if you were serious about trying to get your money and your master, publishing, etc…..then why not do it in the courtroom with lawyers and a judge? (which we know he hates and tries to avoid) I’m starting to wonder if there’s something deeper going on between Ma$e and Diddy that we’re not see here.
Diddy cock goes deeper in most of his artists
Diddy is a vulture. Then goes on with that fake black power pr BS
diddy might shoot you. i must be the only diddy fan you know i love those 90s sounds.
Yep, you are. He’s the worst thing to happen to hip hop culture since 92. He’s robbed more artist than a subway stick-up kid and poked more guys than a proctologist.
Ok, someone is finally ready to tell who the real killer is. Puff & Fluff was shaken from the start. Ma$e got his number too bad Kim took so long to tell her story.
Watchout Mase, Fluff Daddy might send his bottom boys to go tune you up lol. They’re probably going to pour lube on you and probably beat you down with a dildo or two. Take That, Take That. (Pause)
I died
Whatever happened to karma? Why hasn’t he experienced anything yet? Can’t believe he’s still alive while 2pac and Biggie Smalls are dead because of him.
His karma just like yours is personal and none of anyones business. Love and mine yours..
What if you will be the one to do go? Why are you trying to play God?
Selfish Evil Butt Pirate
One plays wit artist lives, while the other plays with God…TheReal
What “God” fake white Jesus? Or the version of Christianity Euphemism created? Either way that “God” it’s bible and beliefs is a joke so he can be played with..
