Diddy Signs To Interscope Records
By Rondell Conway
Sean “I Can Do Bad All By Myself” Combs will be doing “bad boy things” at Interscope Records from now on. The entertainment mogul has signed a solo deal at Jimmy Iovine’s spot.
Jimmy Iovine offered him a sweet deal so Diddy had to take that, take that, and he’s now a solo artist at Interscope Records. Though the record mogul was able to part ways with Warner Music Group the rights to all the artist on the Bad Boy imprint remain with Warner. Diddy plans to rease his new album Last Train To Paris on Interscope. He explained the odd move to allhiphop.com.
“I had started some previous business relationships with Jimmy Iovine. We had a great chemistry with each other. When I sat down with Julie [Greenwald, Atlantic COO] and told them that I had an interest to go sign with Jimmy and they didn’t make it rough for me. Lyor [Cohen, WMG Chairman] and Julie were nice enough to let me get my [Bad Boy] name. I was able to take the name over to Interscope and to still in stay in business with them. I am not abandoning any of my artists over there, I still have that imprint. But all my future recordings, including my recording contract, that will be at Interscope Records.”
And things are going to be different at Diddy’s new address…
“We are going to take our time with the amount of acts that we sign,” Combs stated, adding that the label will cater to “superstars.” We want to find those very unique artists. We want to build something very special that’s not already out there.”
Translation: You’ll have the once in a lifetime opportunity to sign an exclusive ponzi record deal with Diddy.
