Hip hop's favorite "break up to make up" duo is attempting to reunite once again.
According to MTV News, Mase is reportedly in talks with Diddy
about reinstating his status as a Bad Boy artist. The rapper revealed
that the legendary label was his preferred pick in a verse he laid on
the Camron track Get It: "Mase, you come back if you get 50 percent?'/ I'm like, 'Nah, if I come back I need Diddy percent.' "
Diddy said that he and Mase have been talking, but nothing has been made official as far as a Mase project on Bad Boy.
"Mase has called me," Diddy told MTV.
"We've spoken. He's basically said, 'Just keep your eye on me. Making
this switch, I gotta kinda bear this cross for a second. Just watch
what I do.' I said, 'I've seen.' He's definitely one of the dopest MCs
to ever touch the game. People can't deny that. He's one of the most
successful. I've seen people come back from different things in this
game. I said, 'Yeah. Without a doubt, I'll keep my eye on you.' I spoke
to him today. He's out there working."
While the Bad Boy CEO is focused on maintaining the long-standing quality of his label, it seems like Diddy
is planning to do so with the soldiers he already has with no immediate
plans of enlisting other recruits. So with that said, fans shouldn't
expect a reunion from the twosome anytime soon.
"With
the future of Bad Boy, I definitely think it's time for me to come up
with a game plan," he said. "A lot of things have changed. I have a
great legacy I have to protect. I'm taking some time. I don't wanna
sign anything new. I wanna focus on this Janelle Monae album, on this Cassie album, on this Last Train To Paris
album. Those are the albums I'm focusing on. I'm not making anything
new. I wanna come up with a game plan that works going forward with the
future of Bad Boy."
