In an interview with MTV's Sway Calloway, Diddy discussed the possibility of Mase returning to Bad Boy. The rapper has recently resurfaced online and has patched things up with Cam'Ron and Jim Jones, even releasing a track called "Get It' with the former. Diddy says Mase reached out to just tell him to keep an eye on him and what he's doing. Check out the clip:


Right now, though, Diddy says that he's not really looking to sign anything new and is instead looking to focus on Janelle Monae's upcoming album, Cassie's "Electro Love" and his own "Last Train to Paris."

Shaheem Reid wrote on MTV.com that if Mase did come back to Bad Boy and The Lox do the same, that Bad Boy would have one of the "one of the strongest hip-hop rosters in the game," when considering the current roster, as well. Diddy, The Lox, Mase, Aasim, Red Cafe, Ness, Gorilla Zoe, Yung Joc (yes, I know he wants to leave), Boyz N Da Hood and, perhaps, Black Rob - his situation is unclear - counting rappers only.

It is somewhat unlikely that either of those things will happen - let alone both. But, you never know. Personally, I was a huge, huge Mase fan way back when. The combination of Mase and Diddy is what made me a Bad Boy fan. I had a poster of Mase on my wall. I supported his retirement. Yes, he left Diddy and Bad Boy in the lurch, but I won't argue with God or happiness.

When he came back for "Welcome Back," I was really happy and loved the album. But, then I read an interview where he did where he blamed Diddy for the content of the album, which I saw nothing wrong with, even though he's the one who handed the album to Diddy, reportedly. And then, of course, you had all the G-Unit stuff. In so many words, Mase let me down as a fan and I got sick of the decisions he was making. But, I love what he did while he was at Bad Boy and I listen to it to this day. And I'm open to a new Mase album, certainly.

If Mase comes back, as I said when discussing The Lox, I only want him back if he's actually back. Not handing Diddy a finished album, but going back to the process that created "Harlem World" and even "Double Up." I don't want to hear him rapping about needing "Diddy percent" to come back - whatever that means. After all that has transpired and his at times lack of reliability when it came to promoting his records, I'm surprised he would be expecting much above "standard percent." But, then again, it could just be a throwaway line.
