Easy Mo Bee has claimed that he was “blackballed” in the music industry after confronting Diddy over production credits on one of Bad Boy’s biggest hits.
The veteran producer discussed his dealings with the embattled mogul during an interview with The Sample Lounge, where he revealed they got into a dispute over the remix to Craig Mack‘s 1994 classic “Flava in Ya Ear.”
Mo Bee, who worked extensively with Bad Boy in the ’90s and produced the original track, said: “I remember we were gonna do the remix [of ‘Flava in Ya Ear’]. He had the idea to throw LL [COOL J], Busta [Rhymes], Rampage on there. Dope!
“When I saw the record and it said, in this particular order: ‘Remixed by Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs, Chucky Thompson and Easy Mo Bee,’ I bugged out. I kinda flipped out.”
He added: “I was like, ‘Wait a minute, you didn’t do anything on the record! And Chucky Thompson, he kinda sat there and watched me do the remix in Sound on Sound Studios’ … Because I didn’t go along with the management thing, now my credit is getting taken?”
Easy Mo Bee then recalled confronting Diddy over the production credits.
“I went up there with my manager and spoke to him about it,” he continued. “I told him, ‘Yo, do me a favor, man. Don’t do that again. I don’t like that.’
“From that point on, I think that’s when the relationship changed over there. My relationships period started to change. I noticed that certain people wouldn’t deal with me. I’d heard about blackballing.
“You mean to tell me from something like that, from me talking to him and telling him, ‘I didn’t like that. How can we fix the credit?’ Is that what got me into this?”
Reflecting on the incident and the aftermath, the Grammy-winning producer said he does not regret the way he handled the situation.
“I’m a man. I’m a certain kind of man. This man, up to that point in my career, I didn’t have any problems with like that,” he said. “I would do the same today. I’m a man of principle. If blackballing is what they call it, then so be it.”
