Did P. Diddy Silence His A-List Friends with Music Publishing Rights in Exchange for NDAs? Check Out The Claim

by

As an avid follower of the tumultuous world of hip-hop, I find myself deeply immersed in the saga that is Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs’ life. The latest allegation by Mark Curry, a former rapper under his Bad Boy Records label, adds yet another layer to this intricate tapestry.

Another significant accusation has been placed on the growing list of allegations against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. Former rapper Mark Curry asserted that the founder of Bad Boys Records muted high-profile friends in the industry by granting them publishing rights to their music, contingent upon their signing of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).

As reported by Sportskeeda, Stephen Curry recently featured on Marjorie Hernandez’s podcast, “The Trial of Diddy,” hosted by The Daily Mail. In this discussion, the former rapper shared insights about the rumored interactions between Diddy (also known as Sean Combs) and his high-profile friends. For those who may not know, Bad Boy Records, established in 1993, held the copyrights for the music of its artists.

From September 2023 onward, the company had been holding the rights; this is when it’s said that Diddy granted the publishing rights to the specific artist. A couple of months later, in November, he faced his initial abuse allegation from his former partner, Cassie Ventura, through a lawsuit.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it as: In an intriguing podcast discussion, Curry revealed that the founder of Bad Boy Records granted publishing rights to all artists under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), to prevent them from speaking about him. Curry speculates that this move was made in anticipation of potential legal complications, as he swiftly tried to hide his tracks. However, he asserted, “It didn’t work.

The ex-rapper was questioned about whether he agreed to the NDA in order to secure publishing rights. His response was, “Diddy can’t dictate what I do because when we first started our business, we had a contract that stated his role was to help advance my career. However, that didn’t pan out. So any future contracts he offers me, I plan to steer clear of as well.

Curry expressed, “If we’re going to act disrespectfully, let’s do it consistently around the table. It won’t just be you speaking and me listening. I’ll respond with a ‘fine,’ which means I’ll carry on as usual regardless.” The ex-rapper revealed that upon receiving the contract, he discarded it right away.

In the podcast, he disclosed that he parted ways with his record company back in 2005. He explained that he felt creatively and financially depleted while working under the label. Regrettably, his first album never materialized, and he also accused the company of not paying him a penny for the singles he produced under their auspices.

It’s said that he departed from the field and established himself in Georgia, where he works as a carpenter. In the year 2009, he published a book titled “Dancing With The Devil: How Puff Burned The Bad Boys of Hip Hop.” In this book, he discussed his challenging relationships with Diddy and the record label.
