“@diddy I heard your #Grammy speech about how u are now for the artist and about how the artist must take back control. So I will be the first to take that initiative,” the Harlem MC wrote on Instagram Friday. “I heard u loud and clear when u said that u are now for the artist and to that, my response is if u want to see change you can make a change today by starting with yourself.”

The “Tell Me What You Want” rapper then revealed that “just a few days ago,” he offered to pay Diddy $2 million for his publishing, but was told he would have to outbid a “European guy” also looking to own the rights to his music — or wait until he’s 50 years old, when the rights would revert to him.
“You bought it for about 20k & I offered you 2m in cash. This is not black excellence at all,” Mase stressed. “When our own race is enslaving us. If it’s about us owning, it can’t be about us owning each other. No More Hiding Behind ‘Love’. U CHANGED? GIVE THE ARTIST BACK THEIR $$$. So they can take care of their families.”

It’s all about the Benjamins.
“When our own race is enslaving us...” Hey! Hello! Wake up, man! Your “own race” has been enslaving you since day one and before! You honestly think because you share the same skin tone you’re equals? What dream are you living?
I got a lot of what this Dase was trying to say, but not all.
It would help if he could speak in regular English, and not use letters for words. There’s a time to do that, and a time to be crystal clear in what your message is.
I find it near unbelievable that Diddy was allowed to ramble on playing Race Cards for FIFTY MINUTES at an awards ceremony. Did I read that correctly? Was everyone in the audience so afraid of being called Racist if they told him to wrap it up and let the show proceed?
That’s like sitting in an audience and having to listen to Colin Kaepernick’s mumblings about nobody giving him a fair shake since he’s part black.
It wasn’t at the awards ceremony, it was at a part before the awards ceremony.
Before. That sort of explains how he got away with wasting their time. On Air programming minutes would be too expensive to let him carry on that way.
Net worth:
P Diddy $855,000,000.00
Mase $10,000,000.00
