Janelle Monae is one of the artists currently featured on Fuse's Incoming!. According to the site, "Incoming! brings you a selection of artists that come with Fuse's highest recommendation."

On Saturday, I reported that a music video was on the way for "All I Do is Win (Remix)" by DJ Khaled featuring Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, Nicki Minaj, Fabolous, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Swizz Beatz and T-Pain.

The video isn't out yet, but MTV News reports that Khaled is comparing it to the iconic music video for Craig Mack's "Flava in Ya Ear (Remix)." That track featured The Notorious B.I.G., Busta Rhymes, Rampage, LL Cool J and ad-libs from Diddy.

"I know this is hard to say these type of things, but there's only one remix video I know that was exciting like this and it was called 'Flava in Ya Ear,'" he said.

Listen to Khaled talk about the video and the crew's exploits this weekend.

Bad Boy A&R head Daniel "Skid" Mitchell recently appeared on The Syndicate for an interview ranging from Bad Boy label issues to relationships. We'll focus on the Bad Boy aspects.

He was asked the old lazy standby question about past Bad Boy artists and how many of them did not release an album or achieve a large measure of success. I thought he handled it well, his answers mirroring things I've said here at Bad Boy Blog many times. In summation, Diddy gives people an opportunity and he'll be loyal to you, but to be successful, you have to work. There are many reasons artists are not successful or they get shelved and it happens at other labels.

He was also asked about the Bad Boy/Atlantic situation and he said that Bad Boy is "loosely related to some of the artists that were on the previous situation." He specifically named the Janelle Monae and Day26 projects and said "that's mostly it for what we're doing over there."

Regarding Black Rob, Mitchell said that both sides are talking back and forth and that Rob was at Daddy's House, the Bad Boy-owned recording studio, the second day he was out of prison.

Black Rob recently spoke with The Syndicate about the time he spent in jail, his situation at Bad Boy and a lot more. It's an interesting interview, though the hosts do talk a little slick, let's say. I suppose that that is part of the shtick of this particular show. Let's cover the highlights.

Black Rob told the hosts that Diddy did not visit him during his time in prison. He had hinted at this previously.

"I really don't care," he said when asked about it. He was told that Diddy visited Lil' Wayne. "So, what? I'm B.R. I'm from Spanish Harlem. Man, I don't know him. I don't know Puffy. Puffy ain't have to come see me." Toward the end of the interview, he also criticized people who don't write their own records. One of the hosts mentioned Diddy specifically, but Rob didn't.

Nonetheless, he confirmed speaking with Diddy. When asked if he was considering a return to Bad Boy, he said no. But, he went on to clarify the reasoning for that.

Last night, Diddy hosted a party at LIV at Fontainebleau in Miami. But, apparently, the party promoters started charging people more than Diddy expected they would.

"I just heard that the promoters got on some greedy s*** tonight and started overcharging people," Diddy wrote on Twitter. "I'm very sorry they did that. I didn't know. I thank y'all for always supporting my parties. I see I have to start putting a limit on what they can charge people. Greed is a motherf*****."
