Why does Diddy have so much bad Karma around him?

you forgot that his Intro to the world was killing 9 people in the city college incident

He killed nine people and then the nine artists mentioned in the O.P. had to pay the price. :ohhh:

These guys are wrong puff gives out bad deals that end up leaving the artist with little to none ownership of their publishing,royalties,and masters for example he bought bigs publishing off him for 200k (mind you big at the time doesn’t understand the music buisness and what publishing even means) it’s smart on diddy behalf but still fukked up , he owned the lox’s publishing even after they left bad boy and he gets paid everytime they drop albums leaving them with hardly anything , don’t forget he still owns mase’s Publishing since mase has been like 19 and won’t let him buy it back. There’s ways of being fair with business but to take the majority of what artists make to feed their families that’s just fukked up and on top of that your black also

This ain’t correct - Puff has a record company and a publishing company. He sets that up for the benefit of the artists. He’s never owned 100 percent of any of his artists publishing. His deals were 80/20, where the artist owned 80percent and he owned 20 because he did a publishing deal with the artists and it was up to to them to negotiate a buy back if they wanted. Shyne the only one that owned 100 percent of his own publishing because of the bidding war.

Puff invested his own money and put his own cash at risk in all of these acts, he built their brands as none of them had any established fan bases in the 90s before they signed. Only one that had a following was French and MGK.

When Mase wanted to buy back his publishing (remaining 20 percent) it’s not that puff didn’t want to allow it. It’s a business to business arrangement, there needs to be a valuation done on the worth of the publishing of mase and his catologue and Mase needs to buy it back at market rate. If it’s worth 10 million and 20 percent is with 2 million then Mase needs to come with the paper, Puff ain’t just going to give it to him for free no matter how wealthy he is, it’s business.

Puff provided a tutorial of the lox deal back in 2005 as a publishing 101
