Diddy Talks To Vibe

Diddy is known for not always have their best interest at heart when it comes to his artists. He recently did an interview with Vibe and tried to explain why Bad Boy has been an artist graveyard for so many years.

"There's an off perception that needs to be addressed about me that I have ever robbed somebody or mistreated somebody. Or tried to be ruthless or whatever in this game. Like, all year I've heard people say, "Where's Carl Thomas, where's Black Rob, where's G-Dep? Where are these artists?" And for some reason they go ahead and equate that, cause those artists aren't with me, that I've done something wrong or malicious or conniving. It's something that I do have a problem with because they don't have no proof that I've ever done nothing like that."

Vibe also asks Diddy if these pesky rumors bother him:

"It's a misconception. Especially someone who's been brought up like me. I've been brought up to work hard for mine and never take from nobody. And to always try and help people. But people don't understand this game that were in. You have a short life expectancy. It's rare to be a me, to be a Jay-Z, an LL, a Nas. That shit is a rarity. That's not even one percent of the rappers. If you look at any artist that were on Ruff Ryders, where they at? If you look at any artist that was on Def Jam at the time we started, where they at? If you look at any artist that was on Roc-A-Fella, Jive, where they at? It's not like anything was wrong with them. It's just that you have a four, five-year average in this game. That's just something I wanted to address."

Yes many artists do have a short life in the game, but not all of them complain about it. Almost all of Diddy's artist complained in one way or another about him. Young Joc went on the radio to get out of his contract, Danity Kane complained publicly. So did everyone from every season of making the band. It looks to me like the only artist that was not affected by the supposed Bad Boy curse was Cassie. How do you think she did that?
