A group of super producers that helped forge the sound of Bad Boy Entertainment into a hit factory are planning to a file a lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, alleging non-payment of publishing royalties.
"Any monies owed to anyone are either paid or are in the process of being paid -- and, furthermore, will always be paid,” Combs told AllHipHop.com, refuting the charges. “It doesn't do any good -- and makes no sense at all to not pay people -- what logical sense would it make for a record company of Bad Boy's stature to not pay people?"
Various producers, including Easy Moe Bee and Lord Finesse, are planning to file the suit against Combs, with some of the producers claiming they haven't seen royalty statements or received payment in upwards of 10 years.
"This is not personal against Puff [Combs]," Lord Finesse told sources. "This is just a royalty and publishing situation. A lot of people didn't get paid."
The group of producers are responsible for writing and producing major Bad Boy hits like "Whoa!," "I Love the Dough," "Flava In Ya Ear," "Warning," "Get Down," "I Need a Girl," "Been Around the World," "One More Chance," "Missing You," "Born Again," "Dead Wrong," "Sky's the Limit" and many others.
