Joshua Ostroff of The Globe and Mail reports that Bad Boy was represented at the show, possibly among the bevy of labels interested in signing Tesfaye.

He even quotes the representative as saying, of the performance, "for a first show? I've never seen anything like this."

XXLmag.com has an interview with Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie, where he shares some behind the scenes details on the creation of Diddy's "It's All About the Benjamins," The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Hypnotize" and Mase's "Feel So Good."

In the clip below, from Karmaloop TV, Rock City is busy in New York City - watching Diddy perform at HOT 97's Summer Jam and checking in with him at an appearance at Greenhouse NYC the next day.

They are also seen, briefly, in the studio with Cassie. Machine Gun Kelly is also in the clip, both at the Greenhouse NYC event with Diddy and in the studio. I'm not 100% certain, but the studio that they were in with MGK may have been Daddy's House.

In an interview with Machine Gun Kelly, Billboard's Erika Ramirez reports that, according to a source at the label, Machine Gun Kelly has signed with Interscope Records.

If true, this does not mean that he hasn't also signed to Bad Boy, as Diddy's label is distributed by Interscope and is part of their family of labels. For months, persistent rumors have placed the Cleveland rapper with the label.

Earlier this month, MGK revealed that Bad Boy was one of two labels remaining in the bidding war for his services. Ramirez asked MGK what was important to him, when considering which label to sign with.

"I don't want anyone touching my team, my management," he said. "These are people I've grown up with and have been raised with. I want them included in everything that I do. I don't want my engineers to change, I don't want my management to change, my tour manager, none of that s*** to change. All of that stuff can kick rocks."

Yesterday, Dexter Isaac, an inmate at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center who is serving live in prison for crimes including murder, confessed to involvement in the 1994 shooting and robbery of Tupac Sharkur at the Quad Studios in New York City. He did so in a letter sent to AllHipHop.com.

Isaac claims that he did so at the behest of James "Jimmy Henchmen" Rosemond, who paid him $2,500 - plus whatever he could take Shakur. The letter also included mentions of Sean "Diddy" Combs in a manner that suggested that the Bad Boy CEO was not innocent. Oddly, however, Isaac declined to go into further detail about his allegations, instead saying that more would come in the future.

Jeffrey Lichtman, a lawyer who represents Rosemond, has told Nancy Dillon of the New York Daily News that Isaac is lying and that he is doing so because he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison. He is currently sentenced to just that, having been indicted on charges of murder, robbery, fraud and witness intimidation, according to AllHipHop.com.

"It's a flat out lie," Lichtman said. "Dexter Isaac is not claiming this 17 years later to clear his conscience. He's doing it because he's told anybody who will listen he doesn't want to die in prison. He has kids and wants to work off his sentence. He can't be trusted."

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the New York Police Department told the paper that detectives will be interviewing Isaac.
