“Welcome to Bad Boy, where dreams come true,” Sean Combs said as we shook hands over lunch in March 1997. The record producer spent the next hour telling me how impressive my rapping skills were, how soon he planned to release my debut album, and that my personal wealth would soon be in the seven-figure range. Talk about smoke and mirrors.

Today, after years of writing hit records for Combs, I am no closer to having my first album released by Bad Boy Entertainment than I was when we signed the contract. Combs cajoled, hoodwinked and bamboozled me for nearly a decade. In the end, which for me came in 2005, I realized that I had to leave the label and its illusions of wealth in order to save my career, my marriage, my mind and my soul.


Dancing with the Devil reveals startling new details about key events in the fast-paced, controversial, and sometimes deadly world of hip-hop music.  In revealing the dark side of the industry, Curry hopes to provide a road map for reforms needed before more artist end up in poverty, in prison, or in the grave

Interesting Book. I haven’t ready it yet, but it’s funny cuz the otha week I was askin  myself of certain artists that were under bad boy and saying, “Damn what happened to them?”  Like Carl Thomas, Mario Winans Etc …  Not to mention the other things I’ve heard from people who work for sean john as far as pay n what not. Making the Band need I say anything more and to think all these years Diddy went thru artists like water just to have a new season of makin the band to exploit perhaps and make profits off the ratings and whatever other products he can milk it for. Hmmm. What ya think?

Everyone knew when he first came out the he used his artist as a way of making himself famous.....And it is Damn sure evident know....Becuz "Making the band" is living proof...Y r u talking b4 every commercial break y?????? the show is not about u....We all say whether in the industry or just a Hip-Hop Fan "Puff needs to sit his ass down"....Only thing one thing we can't take away from him is he's a business man......No matter how he does it, it gets done....He finds ppl to make him rich and famous and slaves them.....without them knowing...to them they feel its an opportunity of a life time....and it is to a certain extent. And there's always a question of his man hood floating around...His actions should tell you what side of the fence he stands on.....Its a female trait to always want to be in the spotlight light or center of attention.....Only other ppl who acts this way are ppl who has money but are locally known(eg:drug dealers, gang bangers etc.) and they're trying to make a name for themselves to be well known....But if u already have a name and already well known what's the point of your actions????Just being the center of attention......that's BITCH shit.....Who doesn't know diddy????? So its well known he's a fame, money hungry, slave driving homo its just he drained the ppl he does this to so much that they wouldn't even know where to start to get back at him or to focus on getting away from him or starting over....But again being a business man he seems like he position his self to keep these things under the table.....In my opinion he just hasn't fucked over the rite person just yet....Puff's money keeps him out of the fire believe it!!!!

    I feel you Dred. It's cat's so desperate to get big time that they sign anything. Diddy knows this and exploits that. He justifies that by sayin it's "Buisness." It's funny cuz JAY-Z was anotha rappa back then and diddy would give him the cold shoulda, but JAY is bigga than him. He makes more money than Diddy and Diddy has been in the game for a hot minute longa that hov.
