Earlier this week, we learned that Kalenna would appear as a guest on Ja Rule's "Top the Top," from his upcoming album "P.ain I.s L.ove 2," which is set for a June 7 release.
In the clip below, Ja Rule previews the track, in the studio and you can hear a large portion of it.
"Coming Home" is the fifth Diddy single to be certified at platinum or better, following "Been Around the World," "I'll Be Missing You," Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" and "Come With Me."
Here are Bad Boy's positions on the most recent Billboard U.S. album and single charts, released today. It's a good week for Dirty Money: "Last Train to Paris" gains, "Coming Home" holds firm and "Your Love" moves up. On top of that, "Coming Home" has been certified gold by the RIAA, in recognition of over 500,000 units sold.
"It's a revolution that's going on right now and it's a lot of artists that are going against the grain of record companies and radio and this is a different type of time. I think these cats have learned from us and they understand ownership. This generation that's doing it, is doing it well. I'm very proud of them for just taking a chance on themselves and believing in themselves. Odd Future's believing in themselves. Wiz Khalifa believed in himself. When nobody believes in you... that's what I represent, I represent that whole hustle. These guys aren't going to have to kiss that a** or play that political game and they doing what the f*** they want to do and I want them to keep doing what they want to do."
The Post spoke to Andrew Quinn, an attorney who represents the sergeant who ordered the escort. He says that the escort "wasn't to benefit [Diddy]," but instead was to improve a potential safety issue with the mounting crowd in the area.
They also quote a retired officer who worked in the same precinct, where Diddy was arrested back in 1999 following the club shooting incident. The unnamed officer said that Diddy mistreated officers then and, as such, should not have received assistance from them.
"After how he treated cops the night he was arrested in Club New York, no one should have helped him cross the street, let alone get a police escort," he said.
Meanwhile, MYFOXNY.COM spoke with Mike Zimet, the "former security director" for Diddy. Zimet said that Diddy would have never requested such a favor himself, because the city is home to any number of celebrities at any given moment and if they were catering to all of them, they wouldn't be able to do their job.
Last night, Diddy and Dirty Money's "Coming Home Tour" rolled into Atlanta. Previously announced guest Big Boi took the stage, but a number of other Atlanta-centric artist also appeared, including Jermaine Dupri, Da Brat, Young Chris, Roscoe Dash, Rocko and more. Access Atlanta has a gallery of photos and you can check out a number of video clips below.

However, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg said that Diddy shouldn't have received an escort if there wasn't a security issue and an investigation was launched.
Allison McGevna of FOX News has an update on the story, which includes statements from the NYPD, the New Jersey State Police, the Essex County Sheriff's office and the township of West Orange, where the event was held.
"After being repeatedly rebuffed by police officers on the street and a police lieutenant at the station house, a dry cleaner claiming to represent Sean Combs apparently prevailed upon a sergeant to direct a police van driven by a police officer to escort Combs a total of one city block from mid W. 35th St., closer to 9th Ave., across 9th Ave. and another half block to Dyer Ave, after which the Combs party drove unescorted," NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne told FOX. "Although a distance of just one block, the assistance provided was unauthorized and is under investigation. Assertions that Combs was escorted by the NYPD into New Jersey are false."
