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.

Romy and Oliver Sim reunite with Jamie xx at Glastonbury 2024 set

Jamie xx was joined by The xx bandmates Romy and Oliver Sim during his Glastonbury 2024 set.

The trio reunited on the Woodsies Stage yesterday (June 28) when the ‘In Waves’ producer led his set into ‘Waited All Night’, a track off his forthcoming sophomore album that features both Romy and Sim.

They went on to perform Jamie xx’s 2009 rework of Florence + the Machine‘s ‘You’ve Got the Love’, which itself a cover of the classic 1986 house song by The Source and Candi Staton. Before they took their leave, fans also watched Romy and Sims take part in a group hug with Jamie.

Social media users on Twitter/X shared their excitement at the reunion of the indie pop trio, who last performed together as a band in 2018. “That set was unbelievable from Jamie xx,” tweeted X user @L18SDL. “Those who witnessed that at Glastonbury were very lucky.”

Romy is also set to perform a set on the Woodsies Stage on Sunday (June 30).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Towards the end of his set, Jamie xx was also joined by Robyn, who arrived to perform their song ‘Life’.

Both ‘Life’ and ‘Waited All Night’ are taken from ‘In Waves’, the newest album by Jamie xx due for release on September 20.

In March, Romy shared with NME an update about a new album by The xx. “We’ve been in the studio since I last spoke to NME and we’re in the studio again next week, so we’re meeting up regularly,” she told us at the BRITs. “It’s been really good. I think we’ve all spent time apart and it’s healthy to miss each other.”

Jamie xx will host a huge homecoming show at Alexandra Palace in London on September 26 to launch ‘In Waves’. The gig has since sold out, and another date at the same venue has been confirmed for the day before (September 25).
