Mase Explains Why He Hasn't Commented On Diddy Footage, Reveals Plans To Do So

Out of all the people who are commenting on the Diddy scandal, especially after the Cassie footage, there is one name who hasn't been as outspoken as some folks may have assumed: Mase. The former Bad Boy artist has voiced his fair share of disagreements, critiques, and outright animosity with the label's boss in the past over business and personal matters. Of course, it's not like he particularly held back when it comes to this recent wave of abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking claims against Sean Combs. But the It Is What It Is cohost hasn't said much about that new hotel video, and explained why on Tuesday (May 21) on his show.

"I’m saving my takes for the documentary. If y’all wondering how I feel, it’s coming soon, pause," Mase said on It Is What It Is. Previoulsy, he had reacted to a lot of the Diddy developments with about the same level of shock, intrigue, and side-eye as everyone else. However, the Jacksonville native might have more particular things to say about this new footage in question, or just recently signed onto a long-form project on the Puff case. Either way, it's a curious choice.

Mase Refrains From Speaking On Diddy & Cassie Footage

Meanwhile, Cassie recently shared an appreciative yet heavy message following the response to the footage of her and Diddy. "Thank you for all of the love and support from my family, friends, strangers and those I have yet to meet," it started. "The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning. Domestic Violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past.

"Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to take this matter seriously," Cassie continued. "My only ask is that EVERYONE open your heart to believing victims the first time. It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in. I offer my hand to those that are still living in fear. Reach out to your people, don't cut them off. No one should carry this weight alone. This healing journey is never ending, but this support means everything to me. Thank you. Love Always, Cassie."

Jadakiss Replaces Diddy On AI “It’s All About The Benjamins” Remix

It goes without saying that Diddy's reputation has taken a massive hit in recent months. Aside from facing various lawsuits from individuals accusing him of sexual assault, abuse, and more, he's also at the center of a federal sex trafficking investigation. Matters were only made worse last month when security footage of him abusing his ex-girlfriend Cassie at a hotel in 2016 surfaced online.

He's since apologized for his past behavior, though most agree that it did little to mitigate the public's explosive reaction. As a result, he's been dropped by several brands and former business partners. Now, he's also been kicked off of one of his own songs, thanks to Cipha Sounds. Recently, he dropped a reimagined version of Puff's 1997 track "It’s All About the Benjamins,” featuring AI Jadakiss instead of Diddy.

Cipha Sounds Drops "No Diddy" Remix Of "It’s All About the Benjamins”

Cipha Sounds revealed why he created the "No Diddy" remix in a video on Instagram earlier this week, explaining that it all stems from his current legal trouble. “P. Diddy is canceled. Whatever cr*zy sh*t happened with him, that’s over there. I’m talking about Hip Hop-wise. As a DJ from New York City — I’m on 94.7 The Block — they telling me I can’t play P. Diddy’s music no more,” he said. “I can’t play ‘All About the Benjamins’?! Are you cr*zy?! How am I even supposed to live as a DJ in New York City and I can’t even play ‘All About the Benjamins’? You need to understand, ‘All About the Benjamins’ is one of the greatest Hip Hop New York songs ever recorded!”

He went on to explain that Jadakiss wrote Diddy's verse on the track anyway, so he didn't see any problem with using technology to do what he had to do to keep it in the rotation.
