DIDDY IS THE DEVIL!!


Mark Curry, no not the comedian, a former Bad Boy artist is releasing a tell all book about his [mis]adventures while working with Diddy called, “Dancing With The Devil”. Curry dished [what we all suspected] that Diddy would feature himself in his artist videos but charge them for the “appearance” later – LOL.

Curry said, "Puff has an annoying habit of inserting himself into the songs and videos of all the artists on his label and Puff charged the artists for his appearance on their records and videos, usually without (them) realising it until they receive their royalty statements. That's when they discovered that their large sums of money had gone to fees which were doubled, tripled and even quadrupled because of Puff's 'special appearances.'” This includes Diddy charging his artist for featuring his Bentley – which according to Curry he insisted should be in the video – and then Diddy would write it off as a business expense!

This is absolutely hilarious; every body knew Diddy loves to impose himself in videos but to charge your artist for that?!! That’s kinda grimy.

Hilarious! Its a business move tho! However its grimey he didn't inform his artist of it and forces his assets on the set. Think about it....if an artist wanted a Bentley in their video, etc....they'd have to rent it anyway, right? What Diddy done isn't anything different than we people are doing. Subcontracting himself. Not informing anyone is straight off the hook like stealing.
