On Monday (it appears, anyway), a fake statement from Nicki Minaj appeared online. It is unclear, at this point, where the statement originated, but MTV UK picked it up, among others. But, it read:
By now, everyone should now [sic] that I am really strict when it comes to my representation. I had sympathy for Sean however I feel as if I haven’t gotten the guidance the manager is supposed to give his client. Personally, I feel like I'm being managed by mother. Even if you play the smallest role on my team, I wish to see progress. I’d like to thank him for everything he has done for me; for taking me under his wing. I wish him the best with repping Rick [Ross]. But now that my album is about to drop, its time to get serious and stop playing games. If I could turn back time... I wouldn't have made the decision to let Troy go.
It goes without saying that this is a pretty strange statement. Beyond the grammar issues and it coming across as a bit unprofessional, this would seem like a weird way to confirm that Diddy has been managing her, something that neither Minaj and Young Money, nor Diddy and Bad Boy, have done. Billboard reported in April that Diddy was managing Minaj, along with James Cruz. Part of the story, beyond the statement, was that Benny Medina was now managing her. Medina had managed Diddy previously.
But, sure enough, Minaj shot the statement down via Twitter.
"LMAO," she wrote. "I've never met Benny Medina a day in my life. We good on this side."
Miss Info says that, according to members of Minaj's "inside circle," the story is inaccurate.
Following the cartoon version, here is the live action clip for Dorrough's "Get Big (Remix)" with DJ Drama, Diddy, Yo Gotti, Bun B, Diamond, Shawty Lo and Maino ( free download). Wiz Khalifa, who has a verse on the remix, is not featured in the video.
Care of Dorrough's Twitter, here is the cartoon video version of his "Get Big (Remix)" featuring DJ Drama, Diddy, Yo Gotti, Bun B, Diamond, Shawty Lo, Wiz Khalifa and Maino. A live action clip is on the way.
The next single from Diddy/Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris" has already been announced, and it is titled "Coming Home." It will be released in two weeks.
The music video for Dirty Money's "Loving You No More" featuring Drake was shot earlier this week in Miami and directed by Gil Green, according to a press release on the Diddy/Dirty Money website. Green has directed Elephant Man's "Five-0," Akon's "Don't Matter," DJ Khaled's "We Takin' Over" and more.
Polow Da Don is the latest producer added to the "Last Train to Paris" project, according to a press release, joining an already impressive lineup that includes Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Mario Winans, Swizz Beatz, Danja and more.
According to an Interscope-issued press release, Usher, Grace Jones and Trey Songz have been added to the guest lineup for Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris."
When Diddy and Rick Ross released their first collaborative single as the Bugatti Boyz, "Another One," one of the question I had was: what record label was releasing this project?
Obviously, Diddy is Bad Boy/Interscope. Ross is Maybach Music Group/Def Jam. Well, according to the latest Billboard charts, "Another One" is being released by Bad Boy/Interscope. So, the Bugatti Boyz, from this, appear to be a Bad Boy act.
The BET Hip-Hop Awards 2010 aired this evening and Diddy picked up the win in the "Hustler of the Year" category.
As I reported in September, Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning (Remix)" and DJ Khaled's "All I Do is Win (Remix)" featuring Diddy were both nominated in the "Reese's Perfect Combo Award" category (also known as "Best Collaboration"). But, they came up short, to Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind" with Alicia Keys.
"Hello Good Morning" was nominated for "Best Club Banger," with the award going to Rick Ross' "B.M.F." But, it was a cool moment as Diddy went up on stage with him and Ross mentioned both Bad Boy and Ciroc in his short acceptance speech.
"Once again, it's on," he said. "Team Rozay. Maybach Music. Def Jam. Ciroc Boyz. Bad Boy. We here. CMB forever. Free Weezy."
Diddy, Rick Ross and DJ Khaled opened the show with a performance of the song, with Diddy and Khaled helping with the ad-libs and sharing the hypeman role. After "B.M.F.," they did Ross' "MC Hammer," with a break at the end where MC Hammer came out to perform a small portion of "Too Legit to Quit." They all appeared on stage briefly and the show had began.
On Friday, Diddy confirmed that the new release date for Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris" was December 14. The album has seen a number of delays and push backs, but according to Diddy, that won't happen again.
"12-14-10, 'Last Train to Paris' finally in stores!," he wrote on Twitter. "This will not change!"
