The Lox and Diddy Square Off On Radio

Even though The Lox and Sean “Diddy” Combs seemingly made peace after performing at the Jay-Z and Nas performance truce last month, the former Bad Boy rappers’ long-running complaints against the mogul have re-surfaced.

On Angie Martinez’s Hot 97 radio show, The Lox members Jadakiss and Styles P made a passionate, aggressive plea for their publishing and autonomy from Combs, who they claim owns half of their collective publishing.

“Imagine working for years working for years, hard work and somebody that has nothing to do with that is getting the bulk of it. You’d be totally, utterly frustrated. And, you tryin’ to get around it for years and you call about it with lawyers, but people are too powerful,” said Style P, alluding to Combs’ influence.

The Lox released their debut, Money, Power, Respect, in 1998, but departed Combs’ Bad Boy Records after orchestrating the legendary “Free The Lox” campaign. Styles, Jadakis and Sheek Louch, who was absent at the New York radio station, then joined the Ruff Ryders under the Interscope banner. The group recently vowed that they would no longer record for their label, Interscope Records, due to issues with company brass and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s apparent power with the company.

“This ain’t no varmint talk – this is real life,” said Jadakiss. Eventually, Sean “Diddy” Combs called from his Manhattan office to confront The Lox and counter their claims.

“If somebody is getting in the way of you expressing yourself, you can come get at me directly,” said Diddy from the phone. “We’re businessmen. We’re all mature adults here. Y’all sit on this interview and talk as long as you want to talk or you can take the invitation I extended before. Its not even getting there -You getting on the radio, whatever tactic – I’m not your enemy. Don’t sit here and portray that Puff took something from y’all.”

Immediately, Jadakiss retorted, “Well, what is it then? What do you call it? We can’t handle it any other way dealing with lawyers and you know that. So don’t get on the radio and act like a tough guy.”

The conversation degenerated to the point where none of the parties statements were nearly incomprehensible.

“I’m a grown a** man,” said Diddy.

“You a coward,” Jadakiss responded.

“You a thief,” followed Styles.

A seemingly frustrated Diddy eventually hung up the phone as The Lox continued to vent their grievances to Martinez and the listening “We want our publishing, dog, and we got a right to that. Its been years now,” Styles P shrieked. “We been through seven lawyers and all kinds of things.”

Eventually, Mase and Lil’ Cease also joined into the fray and Biggie’s publishing became topical as well as Shyne’s jail term. After the screaming and bickering died down, Jadakiss and Styles said they would be willing to speak to Combs if they could initially avoid middlemen and council.

“At the least we want to sit down and see what we can work out without running each other in circles and telling you to call somebody and they you telling them you don’t know nothing about it,” Kiss said.

Na, its a damn shame man. LOX r one of the rawest groups in the  industry n "we are the streets" is extremely under rated. Puffy is a snake, he comes on the radio n sez he owns 20% publishin so jada faxes the contract n it sez he owns 50. imo Puffy n Suge never got along coz there basically the same person, but puffy is the street smart 1 who keeps a squeaky clean image. He knows damn well the LOX aint gon go down speak 2 him, wot the fuck they gon say 2 him? "Gimme ma publishin"..."na, fuck you", *styles tries 2 jack him n the national gaurd jumps his ass*...Love them or hate them The Lox r street orientated n just watch puff get more security (if thts possible) n a fuckin fridge proof truck.....coz LOX aint fuckin around no more like kiss said, its their fuckin livelyhood, puff takin food out his family's mouth.

Whats injuring Puff gonna do for them? nothing, he'll just get more security
Whats killing Puff gonna do for them? nothing, cause whoever inherits his publishing company is still gonna be making money offa them.

I don't see how getting "street" on him can possibly help the situation.

[Sikotic™]

They act like Puff is some pussy ass record exec. He's gotten his hand dirty before.

Incidentally, The Notorious B.I.G.’s mother called the radio to offer some words to Lil’ Cease who called Hot 97 and complained that Diddy retained the late rapper’s publishing. Wallace said he should mind his “business” and that she was working closely with Diddy on the upcoming Biggie Duets album.

^wtf? that bitch is just as bad as Afeni Shakur

Listen 2 the fuckin intrview  n read what i said b4 u get ur cyber thug on. I said basically the same person as in, uses the same techniques, dont put artists out, fucks his artists. N Jada n P sed they went down 2 Puff's ofice n the national guard were there but Jada sed "national guard cant stop a fridge from the top story" hence fridge n national guard comment. N i didnt say Jada should get the streets 2 puff i was implyin that hardcore LOX fans aint just gona sit back n watch puff fuck them out their money. Theres nuthin Jada n P can do, contractual wise, Coz puff aint budgin.

[KURUPTION-81]

i can understand y LOX r pissed, but at the end of the day they signed the contract.

[wilz]

The Lox seem to be doing the exact same thing as they accused 50 of here. There picking fights for publicity. They have a record of it, they would never have gotten off bad boy if they had publicly said FREE THE LOX and with them saying they aint gonna do anymore albums its gettin people in the same mind set as before, "aww poor Jadakiss, it happening again" he the one who signs these damn contracts. He was moaning about his Interscope contract then him and Jimmy Iovine have a sit down, then suddenly Jada leavin that alone and goin after puff again. Hypacrit, Jadakiss (and every other rapper with a platinum album) aint been street in years.

[Jip]

they're in the situation because they are fucking stupid and should have gone to school more often

[westkoastanostra]

they're in the situation because they are fucking stupid and should have gone to school more often

its not becuz they need or shoulda gone to school more...its becuz some ppl are just bad in making business decisions i.e signing contracts....

[J Bananas]

Diddy's like a pedophile, preying on young boys who don't have enough life experience to make the right decisions on their own.
