Ma$e Goes Deeper Into His Disdain For Diddy

Ma$e and Diddy’s Never Ending Feud

In the latest episode of the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, Ma$e discussed his disdain for Diddy.

The former Bad Boy Records rapper admitted to co-hosts Wallo and Gillie Da Kid on Sunday (July 31) that he never got the credit or money he deserved from his time there. He stated Puff Daddy never wanted to elevate him.

Ma$e began by saying, “Let me take my shades off for that”. “Now, I can say this because it wasn’t something I didn’t say to him. Puff – how do I wanna say this – me and Puff was like, I felt like I did more than I got credit for, more than I got paid for.”

He went on to say, “Okay, let’s clear that up then ’cause I’m tryna be nice. I never got paid what I was worth and I never got the respect I was worth. So the disdain is like, ‘You’re tryna keep me here, n-gga? I’m not here. All my peers is up here. All my peers are bosses. When it’s time, just like somebody raise somebody up, they did work with you, they go from your lawman to maybe A&R to something else. He just kept tryna keep me right here, like he didn’t want me to grow at anything.”

Mo Money Mo Problems

Among his claims is that he produced a lot of the music that came out of Bad Boy Records. Including Biggie’s 1997 Life After Death single, “Mo Money Mo Problems.”

“Puff would go out and party and I would be in the studio writing the records,” Ma$e said. “And then I’d just come back and say, he’ll say this is his part or this is that part, but I was the person creating it all. I mean, from the lyrical standpoint, whether somebody did the beats, and even ‘Mo Money Mo Problems’ – I came up with that, I came up with the beat, too. I said, ‘Stevie [J], we need to do this beat and do it like this.’ So just imagine all of these moments that are taken from you. The records, the beats, you ain’t getting the money, you ain’t getting the publishing, you ain’t getting the respect.”

He continued saying, “And I don’t think you’re like that to be pulling with you’re pulling. You know what comes with doing that, but everybody is letting you get away with it. Everybody. So me quitting after one album, it didn’t take long for me to figure it out. Like I’m not gon’ be here with this. I don’t care who’s here, ’cause you’re not paying me and you’re not respecting me.”

Ma$e Speaks On Not Being Paid by Diddy

He revealed he wasn’t paid for the first leg of the 1997 No Way Out Tour by Puff Daddy and The Family. After that, he was still not making much money in terms of his role and the amount of money he believed the tour made.

“So my beginning of my career, what I was doing was, when I would go out on my own, I would come to Philly, D.C., all those places, that would be where I made my money,” he said. “When I did the No Way Out Tour at the beginning, it was promotional for me. So the second leg I started getting like $15,000, but the first couple of shows I really do believe they were all promotional. Because I remember the people at Bad Boy asking me, ‘Do you wanna get in a van and go state to state and go radio to radio and do promo, or do you wanna do the No Way Out Tour?’ And common sense, we did the No Way Out Tour.”

It All Works Out In The End

Ma$e went on to say, “Now, looking back, I kid you not, this was one of the greatest things that ever happened for me. Getting the deal, getting the fame and being able to take care of my family, but it was a lot of the worst experiences, and that’s just my understanding.”

In response to a question about the tour’s earnings, Ma$e said, “I can’t count another man’s pocket. I know Budweiser was involved, I know a lot of other people. According to the day’s term, it could be a million or north, but I just know what I was getting. And now that I look back, I was the headliner, but I didn’t know I was the headliner”.

“I’m cool with that – I’m cool with putting in at the beginning. And that’s what made me so upset at the end, because I felt like I was putting equity in the house, and at some point you gotta be able to pull the equity out.”
