Yeah and no.
- Craig knew the outcome especially with how Diddy got down
- Dude looked at Diddy funny style during that Yo MTV Raps interview about a invisible album
- He was going to eventually get dropped given how his first album was good but not Ready to Die good
Also, Craig Mack just was a weird individual that needed more than just a second chance at Bad Boy. Dude needed help badly and his intentions were good, but his decisions were odd as all hell.
Staying with Bad Boy would have been a life sentence with good TV, versus a quick death sentence with the decisions he made.
He needed help beyond the music dude
