Former rapper Mark Curry alleged that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs silenced his A-list friends by giving them the publishing rights to their music in exchange for NDAs.
A recent claim suggests that Sean “P. Diddy” Combs offered music publishing rights to his A-list collaborators in exchange for signing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). These NDAs may have been designed to prevent these individuals from speaking out on sensitive matters.
While Diddy’s act of handing over rights to his artists, including Mase and Faith Evans, was publicly seen as a generous gesture, the allegations raise questions about whether this move was an attempt to silence any potential controversies. This speculation has sparked much discussion in entertainment circles.
Curry appeared on The Daily Mail’s Marjorie Hernandez’s podcast, The Trial of Diddy. The former rapper opened up about the disgraced rapper’s alleged exchanges with his A-List friends. For the unversed, The Bad Boy Records, which started operating in 1993, owned the publishing rights to their artists’s music.
The company held the rights until September 2023, which was when Diddy reportedly released the published rights to the respective musician. Two months later, in November, he was hit with his first abuse lawsuit by ex-Cassie Ventura.
Curry claimed on the podcast that the Bad Boy Records founder gave all his artists their publishing rights in exchange for NDA to not open up about him. Curry thinks this was because he had some kind of idea about the upcoming legal entanglements, so he attempted to cover his tracks quickly. He added, “It didn’t work.”
