Breaking: Puff Speaks on In-House Beef, Confirms BIG’s
Story About Anthony Mason
one; innuendo that was dramatized in his 2009 biopic.
When asked about the moving footage Puff
acknowledged the past, but not without helping their
progress along by inferring that it might have been
blown out of proportion, saying, “I think there was
just such a huge misconception because everything
was under a magnifying glass, that everybody had so
much beef with each other. We’ve had our little
problems and glitches here and there, who hasn’t
when you’ve been together for twenty-something
years?”
Breaking: Puff Speaks on In-House Beef, Confirms
BIG’s Story About Anthony Mason
Everything is all love for Puff Daddy right now, with
this weekend’s Bad Boy Family Reunion festivities in
Brooklyn essentially starting up a five month
retirement party for the 46-year-old mogul, who
recently announced the tour would be a last hurrah
for his twenty-six years in the music biz. And he had
nothing but love to share from the outset, taking to
radio as a guest on The Breakfast Club Friday morning
(May 22), and putting a positive spin on recent rumors
coming out of the Bad Boy camp.
Puff addressed continued talk about the turbulent
relationship between B.I.G protege Lil Kim and widow
Faith Evans, and responded to Fat Joe’s outing of the
late Anthony Mason per Biggie’s famous reference to
having held a gun to one of the 1990’s New York
Knicks.
Earlier in the week a video clip that Puff let out via
Snapchat drew up emotions from many who’ve
followed the legendary clique over the years, showing
Evans and Kim dancing and rapping gleefully with one
another during a rehearsal. There had been a sour
history between the two, backed by slander tossed
back and forth in the press, that was long speculated
to have roots in their shared love for the Notorious

“We’ve been just having fun and dancing and smiling,
hugging and kissing, and I feel it’s going to last
because it’s coming from a genuine place,” he said
before later dismissing a rumored altercation
between Bad Boy family members D-Rock and James
Cruz in lead up to Friday’s big show.
“Not at all. It’s a love fest. You know, you’re going to
have, you know, all of your regular territorial type of
things in the future, but as far as to me where my life
is right now, I don’t rock with anything that’s not on
the super positive. Every day I work on removing any
of that out of the equation. So, no, we’ve been having
nothing but a love fest,” said Puff of any kind of inhouse conflict.
Before completing his promo for a weekend [that
wound up including performances from the likes of
Kim, Faith, Mary J. Blige, Ma$e, 112, Total, the Lox,
Carl Thomas, Black Rob, Mario Winans, Lil Cease, Ty
Dolla $ign, Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Nas, Usher, French
Montana, Desiigner, DMX, Swizz Beatz, and Shyne via
satellite; and ended each show with the classic “I’ll Be
Missing You” homage to BIG], Diddy was asked to
name his all-time favorite Biggie song.
After a brief struggle to settle on any given one, he
compromised that for the sake of the mood he was in
he’d request “Story to Tell”. The curious choice
provided a segway for Charlamagne to inquire about
whether there was any validity to Fat Joe’s
confirmation.
“It’s out?” he laughed. “All I know about is the love
yall. I told yall, all I know about is the love baby, that’s
all I know … That story is true. I can confirm that. I can
confirm that with love.”
