Felix da Housecat has a new EP dropping soon and, in an interview with Vibe, he credited Diddy for helping to spread his audience to a wider audience.
"I was one of the first black cats to be doing it crossover," he said. "And you know what's so funny, I think it was Puffy who brought my sounds to the black folks. Knowing him over the years, I looked to him as my big brother, and whenever I would be at his house or in his studio, he would tell every hip-hop or R&B artist, 'you don't know who Felix da Housecat is? Yo, you need to get with.' So he pretty much had my back with my black folks."

If you've been using the internet over the past few weeks, you've likely run across a "Harlem Shake" parody video, utilizing Baauer's song of the same name. The song itself isn't new, but this online phenomena is.
Of course, if you are a long term Bad Boy fan, you'll know the Harlem Shake as a dance that was notably featured in the music video for Diddy, G. Dep and Black Rob's "Let's Get It." As such, the dance has drawn criticism from Harlemites protective over their culture.
"It's fun, it's just a fun version," he said. "Any time when people are dancing, especially in this day and age when everybody's trying to be so cool and people are letting loose, letting off some steam, I agree with it."
Here are Bad Boy's positions on the most recent Billboard U.S. album and single charts, released today. French Montana's "Freaks" makes it's first appearance.
