Jadakiss Speaks on Mase Calling Out Diddy Over Publishing

by Daryl Nelson

Jadakiss jas responded to Mase calling out Diddy last month over their business relationship and said he would have handled things differently.

Mase blasted Diddy in an Instagram message right after Diddy accepted the 2020 Grammy Salute to Industry Icons award and talked about rapper's having control and trying to push the culture forward.

Mase, who was signed to Bad Boy back in the day, said Diddy is full of it and claimed that he recently offered Puff $2 million for his publishing but Diddy turned it down. 

"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," read a part of Mase's message. "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."

Jadakiss — who had his own run-ins with Diddy over business with his group The Lox— weighed in on all of this during an interview with MreckTV. 

Basically, Kiss said that Mase should've talked to Diddy personally and not air him out on social media. Kiss also talked about The Lox calling out Diddy over publishing during a 2005 interview with Angie Martinez and explained what the difference is. [Jump to 30 second mark]. 

"I think Mase gotta good enough relationship where he can go talk to Diddy," Kiss explained. "The way we did it on the radio with Angie Ma was different. We was young kids. We ain't understand business the way we do now being business owners and fathers and grown men about it," Jadakiss continued. "Mase had a better relationship with Diddy than we actually had. He can go talk to him."

"In [Mase's] defense, I don't know how it's going down," added Jada. "He doing what he gotta do. I just know I would handle it different at this point in life. When we did the whole 'Let The Lox Go' campaign we was teenagers or in our early 20s. Everybody's grown men now... But I don't know what happened. He might have tried [to talk to Diddy] and it ain't work."

Former 112 singer Quinnes "Q" Parker, who was signed to Bad Boy, also criticized Diddy and called him a hypocrite for saying one thing in his Industry Icons speech and doing another.
