Night Crumbs
When Diddy put together his 1997 musical tribute to Biggie titled I’ll Be Missing You, he forgot to do a little thing called “get the rights to the song your ass is going to sample.” I’ll Be Missing You samples The Police’s Every Breath You Take, but Diddy never got permission to sample the song, which Sting wrote. So Sting sued, and that lawsuit ended with him singing, “Every dime you maaaaaaake, I’ll be taking iiiiit.” Sting got 100% of the song’s royalties. Sting claimed in 2018 that he received $2,000 a day in royalties from Diddy. But Diddy recently said that number is wrong, and it’s more like $5,000 a day in royalties, which now goes to Universal Music Group since they bought Sting’s catalog last year. It’s no wonder that Sting could get into 7-hour-long tantric fuck sessions with his wife Trudie Styler. Sting had the time for that and could blissfully bust internal nuts while knowing that Diddy was dropping a few dollars into his bank account every minute (UPDATE: Diddy says he was just joking and that Sting never charged him. Thank all the Gods for that because I know everyone was thinking of starting a GoFundMe for Diddy’s money plight!) – Consequence
