Complex and Vibe are reporting that Chris Lighty has died. Lighty was best known for founding Violator and managing artists like Mariah Carey, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes and Diddy.
Diddy has released a trailer for "Ibiza," which Billboard's Erika Ramirez describes as a documentary about "Diddy's VIP lifestyle as he takes over the nightlife of the island."
It was directed by Chris Latouche and is released in association with Revolt Films. It appears that the Revolt brand will extend beyond the music and news television network the mogul announced earlier this year.
"I just feel real good about moving on with our relationship," he told MTV's Rob Markman then. "Me and son, we gonna get together in Paris. I'm in Paris right now. He's gonna come out here in a couple weeks and we're gonna sit at a roundtable, just as men. Just to sit down and break bread. It's been over 15 years I've known that dude."
Those feelings appear to have been short lived. According to HOT 97's Miss Info, Shyne called her to express dissatisfaction with Diddy and to release a diss track, "You're Welcome."
The song was recorded "a while ago," but he decided to release it now because he believes that Diddy failed to follow through on assurances that were made in conversations that they had. Namely, that the Bad Boy CEO would aide Shyne in his efforts to attain a United States Visa.
"Chapter V," the new album from Trey Songz, will feature a collaboration with Diddy and Meek Mill titled "Check Me Out." You can stream the album for free on iTunes. The song starts at the 1:00:30 mark.
E! Online and the New York Post's Page Six are both reporting, according to sources, that producers of FOX's "American Idol" have contacted Diddy to see how interested he might be in joining the show as a judge.
Back in July of 2010, we launched a Diddy For Idol online campaign when Simon Cowell left the show. It might have been before its time.
Rick Ross released his new album, "God Forgives, I Don't," today. He appeared on BET's "106 & Park" and Diddy called in to support him and offer some kind words. Watch below.
On Twitter, Jay Electronica shared a screenshot of a list of songs, without any elaboration. Among those songs was "Welcome to Knightsbridge feat. Sean Diddy Combs." Electronica's Roc Nation debut, "Act II: Patents of Nobility (The Turn)," does not yet have a release date.
Mike Will has released a new mixtape, "Est. in 1989 Pt. 2." It begins with the "Diddy Intro." You can listen to it below and download it at LiveMixtapes.com.
Future has released the music video for his remix to "Same Damn Time," featuring Diddy and Ludacris. It was directed by Alex Nazari. You can buy the single on Amazon.com.
As a bonus, here is some behind the scenes footage from the shoot:
Last week, on his Twitter profile, Future posted a photo from the set of the "Same Damn Time (Remix)" music video shoot. A release date for the video has not yet been announced.
