P. Diddy Says It’s Untrue He Pays Sting $5,000 Per Day For Sampling His Song
Diddy has cleared the sir on paying $5,000 per day to Sting for sampling The Police on the 1997 Biggie tribute “I’ll Be Missing You.”
It follows the Bad Boy mogul’s recent tweet, in which he revealed the supposed sum he pays the British rocker, which clarified that it isn’t truly accurate.
“I want y’all to understand I was joking,” he tweeted on Friday (April 7). “It’s called being Facetious! Me and @OfficialSting have been friends for a long time!
“He never charged me $3K or $5K a day for Missing You. He probably makes more than $5K a day from one of the biggest songs in history.”
As reports about her paying Sting $1.825 million per year spread on social media, the Harlem-born icon must have felt obligated to address them. However, it’s still not clear whether an agreement was reached when the 1997 song was released.
