AllHipHop.com has an interview with former Bad Boy artist Carl Thomas, where he talked about leaving Bad Boy:

Carl Thomas: My situation dealing with my brother was just part of the refocusing; I guess I was kind of living life with the fog over my eyes, and that just kind of cleared things up for me. I was really pacified by money or whatever, and I never really had any personal problems with Puff and I still don’t. That’s one thing I’m cool to say, he wasn’t particularly happy that I wanted to leave, he definitely fought me on it - but he never fought me to a disrespectful level or anything like that, because I think he respected the fact that I wanted to do it in a respectful manner.

If me and you don’t have any problems on a personal level then why would I get on the radio and in all these magazines and act like we had a problem? Everybody had their own relationship with that man and I’m definitely not responsible for how you and Puff relate and how your business relationship is. I think that’s corny nonsense, that’s not really where it is.

Puff did a whole lot for me and my career; he probably did the most out of anyone for my career. He allowed me to change tax brackets, he allowed me to drive what I wanna drive, travel to where I wanna travel to, eat what I wanna eat, wear what I wanna wear and do what I wanna do. That foundation was laid down at Bad Boy and I would never disrespect that, I would never disrespect Puff, because I was just taught a long time ago you don’t burn the bridge that brought you across.

Also it’s your responsibility to recognize when you’re on a bridge. A lot of people don’t even know when they’re on one, and that’s why it’s so easy for them to lash out at the things that helped them. That’s a real wack way to approach business; Puff had no interest at all in going out there and badmouthing me and saying any negative things about me. I haven’t heard one thing, we see each other it’s hugs, kisses and love. “How’s the kids? Let’s go drinking”. He thinks I’m a great artist, I think he’s a great executive. Just because you’re not seeing eye-to-eye with each other at the time, there’s no reason to trash everything that y’all have been through and the experience. I think that’s really weak-minded.

Like I said in the forums, it's good to see. It's annoying when we seeing people bashing Diddy when we know very well that, for the most part, if it weren't for Bad Boy, we wouldn't have even known who they were in the first place.
