This has now been confirmed by Diddy, during an appearance on USTREAM, which you can watch below. He mentions the Timberlake collaboration at the 20:03 mark.
You’ve been going hard with the Ciroc promotions lately and it seems to be a very successful endeavor. Of course, there were a number of artists before you that tried to promote various brands of their own liquor, but none have really succeeded. What were you able to differently with Ciroc?
I think it’s really in the product of Ciroc. I mean, Ciroc is the star. It’s just a great, quality product. You can make people try something once, but to keep people continually coming back, it has to be the product. And we gon’ really take over the game once we drop these different flavors, because we’ve done something that’s never been done in the industry, which was to produce some great tasting flavors, in raspberry and coconut. Once we get all of these things on the shelves I feel we’re really gonna take off.
According to a source at Monster Cable, Diddy Beats will begin appearing in stores in the next 1-2 weeks. This will depend on the location and will be followed by an official launch event at the end of the month.
On what appears to be his YouTube channel, Ted Smooth posted this clip of Funkmaster Flex playing his remix to Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning." You can hear snippets in the clip.
Also, as a bonus, here's a clip of Smooth mixing the track at Daddy's House:
Starting at the 6:38 mark in the clip below, you can see a short preview of the "Hello Good Morning (Remix)" music video by Dirty Money featuring Rick Ross. Previously, we had reportedthat Rick Ross was on set during the shooting of the "Hello Good Morning" music video, but it was unclear if they were shooting a remix video, as well.
In the clip below, recorded on Tuesday on USTREAM, Diddy plays a snippet from a track that Swizz Beatz produced for "Last Train to Paris." You can't hear a lot, but the best part to listen to is probably at the 45:30 mark. Diddy says that this is the "last joint" on the album.
On Tuesday, this was confirmed by Diddy, during an appearance on USTREAM. He said that the album will be released at midnight on June 28, after the BET Awards. Check the 4:07 mark in the clip below.
"I can't confirm any of the rumors about the different management situations," he said in the first clip, included below, starting at the 16:08 mark. "because it ain't nothing to confirm yet. But, I will be making some big announcements soon. I just want to set the record straight. Only I can do that."
That's not the odd part, though. The odd part is what he said in the second clip, also included below.
"Don't believe the rumors," Diddy says, at the 10:56 mark. "I have not made no announcement yet. Don't believe no rumors about anything y'all hear. Me and [Nicki Minaj], we just cool. I like her style. Rick Ross, that's my brother. There's no management announcements or none of that. So, everybody, just worry about what y'all worrying about. It's alright for people that know each other to have an admiration towards each other and, you know, maybe pick each other's brains for advice. But, I will be making some big announcements in a couple of weeks, on some things, though. But, right now, let's everybody chill out, be cool and stay focused on being positive and worry about what you doing."
