50 Cent is getting back to his beef basics, potentially stirring up more controversy with comments made about Kanye West jacking Mase's style and claiming he is no longer interested in signing Mase because of his "flip flopping" ways.
"I'm cool with Mase, but, right now is different," 50 told Gina Torres in reaction to the news Mase was released from his contractual obligations to Diddy. "That was a different time period and a different thing going on. I can always go and make the Kanye West album because Kanye is doing Mase.
Not from a Harlem perspective, the rap style that he's using, I bet if
you asked him he would tell you he's doing him, his way but it's that
style. And Mase, he rap his a** off, it's a gift. I think anything that changes too fast may be no good and Mase's decision
was so abrupt that he can't actually stay in one pocket, he kinda flip
flopped. He confuses me, that's worse than [confusing] the audience.
I'm pretty easy with understanding what the actual situation is."
Mase recently made headlines when video surfaced of him showing up to a radio station and asking Diddy to sign his "release papers" during a live interview.
"It took me ten years to get this paperwork right here," a seemingly nervous Mase
said in the video. "I had to put this in UPS with a seal on it. I don't
even know what I'ma put out now. Oh my goodness. We good, we good. This
is Mase, I got my official papers right here from Puff Daddy, it was love, so I guess we don't have no problems after all. I don't even know how to take that. I'm ain't used to Puff doing good stuff."
Mase was briefly associated with G-Unit back in 2005. He was rumored to be making a comeback then, but returned to being a pastor shorly after.
His run-in with Diddy is his most recent attempt to make a rap comeback.
