It seems the Bad Boy curse will never end – another rapper has left Diddy’s label after feeling slighted by the hip-hop mogul.
Chopper, formerly of Da Band, has left Bad Boy and inked a deal with Baby of Cash Money Records.
“I believe if I’m working with you, you are me,” the New Orleans native told MTV News. “You’re a part of me if we’re getting this together.”
“Puff is a multi-millionaire, I’m a thousand-naire at that time, grinding. I shot the [‘I See You Lil Daddy’] video and the remix with Lil Wayne and Jody Breeze without him even giving me an advance check. I did that thinking it was all love. [Then] Katrina hit, boom, took away my house, took away a lot of stuff from my family.”
“When that happened, I didn’t get no phone call [from Diddy],” Chopper added. “He didn’t call me and say, ‘Are you all right?’ He didn’t say, ‘I got these Sean John clothes and can make sure your family at least has clothes on its back.’ He didn’t do none of that.”
“So at the end of the day, I felt played. That’s why I wanted to disband myself from the Bad Boy situation.”
Meanwhile, Diddy has responded to Chopper’s comments and claims the label did in fact pay
for Chopper’s videos.
“[He] is a former disgruntled artist of Bad Boy who obviously has an axe to grind,” Diddy said. “We wish him well in his future career.”
Chopper is now in Miami working on his Cash Money debut, Fast Life, which will feature appearances by Lil Wayne, Chingy, and the late Soulja Slim.
