Read it here. He talks about the industry, how he hooked up with Bad Boy and worked his way up, among other things.
Shay: Oh your welcome Hen-Roc thank you as well. What Bad Boy artists should we be on the look out for? Which artists currently have projects out and on deck and when and where can we obtain said ear lovelies?
Hen-Roc: Aiiight currently in stores we got Yung Joc (certified platinum), Danity Kane (certified platinum), we got Cassie (gold album), we have Diddy (platinum album) in stores right now. We got that new Diddy video which is about to drop “Last Night” featuring Keisha Cole·
Shay: ohhhhhhhh man ok ok!
Hen-Roc: ····..hot hot hot record!! It is buzzing all around the clubs on your radio stations and everything. Look forward this year to a new Boyz N Da Hood album, B-5, Cheri Dennis, 8-Ball & MJG, Biggie’s Greatest Hits coming out, you know, definitely a lot of new things coming out of Bad Boy, Bad Boy South. Bad Boy Latino too, we have this artist named Christian Daniel, so definitely check em out!
As far as the last issue of Billboard, "New Joc City" hadn't been certified platinum, so I'm not sure if that is the case.

I'm not sure how old these are, but they can't be that old - Bad Boy recently put out two promotion dance mix CDs. One is for Tell Me and features the following mixes: Mr Mig Club Mix, DJ Frank Lamboy Club Mix, DFA Club Mix, Pull Extended Mix and DFA Club Mix w/o Diddy. See a picture here.
The other one, simply titled "Bad Boy Dance Mixes" features 3 mixes of Me & U, 2 mixes of Come to Me, 3 mixes of Show Stopper and 3 mixes of Long Way 2 Go. See a picture here.
I say re-surfaces because I haven't heard of any public moves he has made since leaving Bad Boy (Jerome Childers is Jerome or Lil' Jerome, former Bad Boy artist). He played John-Mark in Paul: A Musical Journey on January 27, 2007 at the Palace Theatre in Columbus, OH. He must be 19 or 20 now. You can see a picture of him at the site. Anyway, just thought some would find that interesting.
Roger Friedman:
It didn’t help that Sean "Diddy" Combs’ album, "Press Play," upon which millions were spent, was a total dud. Even though critics loved it, and the single “Last Night” can be heard in every club and at every party, the album barely went gold. In the past, Combs’ albums sold millions.
Warner spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $10 million to go into business with Combs on his Bad Boy Entertainment after it was dropped by the Universal Music Group.
Combs did have a couple of minor hits last year with his acts, but nothing on the scale of his former successes.
Now, I've dealt with Friedman before. You have to keep in mind that "Celebrity Gossip" is in the title of the page. That's his style of writing. Very well.
So, with that style, I often don't bother mentioning it. But, since he's at FOXNews.com and since I'm in the right mood, I guess you could say (and it's a slow news day), let's give it a go.
