Yung Joc Threatens Diddy, Bad Boy Records, Block Entertainment With Lawsuit In Royalities Disputes
Yung Joc has threated boss Sean “Diddy” Combs and other executives at Diddy’s Bad Boys Record label in a dispute over cash and contract issues.
Joc intends to file a lawsuit against Bad Boy Records and Block Entertainment over royalties he claims he has yet to receive for his first two albums.
Speaking to Billboard.com on Friday, the rap star, real name Jasiel Robinson, says, “I haven’t been paid any royalties since I’ve been out, after over a million albums sold.”
“For my first album, they gave me a $25,000 advance when I was supposed to get more… Then I had a million dollar budget for my second album – never even got an advance off of it. For the third one, they hit me with another $25,000, like I’m some chump in this s**t. And I just got tired of it,” Joc fumed.
“Diddy said he’s got to stay out of it because it’s between me and Block Entertainment,” he said blasting Diddy for his lack of support. “I was never signed to Block Entertainment, but they’ve been interfering with a lot of my business. I feel like (Bad Boy) isn’t doing anything to try to intervene and help the situation.”
Joc has threatened to release his third album, Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood, independently if his royalties demands aren’t met soon.
