Legendary music producer Quincy Jones had some critical words for hip hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs during the Spotify Stories Behind the Music event held at the Andaz Hotel in Hollywood, CA. this week. He spoke to host Bruno Mars about his history and beginnings in the music industry before the 79-year old Jones addressed Combs.

"[He] couldn't recognize a b flat if it hit him," Jones reportedly said. "P. Diddy has a doctorate in marketing, he's got clothes companies, and Ciroc vodka."

Jones later said that he wasn't trying to tear down Combs.

"No controversy, no diss. I have nothing but love and respect for Diddy and all that he has achieved as an artist and an executive," Jones clarified via statement. "Always have and always will."

Diddy named the restaraunts after his oldest son, who is now heading off to college.

Diddy Close To Signing The Weeknd

Canadian singer/songwriter The Weeknd could be close to inking a deal with Bad Boy Records. Label CEO Diddy is reportedly very interested in signing the star, even going so far as to fly him down to Miami to party during Memorial Day weekend.

Khaled joins DJ Funk Master Flex as a member of the vodka brand's conglomerate. Diddy is a part owner of the brand.

“Check it out, we finally, finally negotiated a deal and closed a contract with my man DJ Khaled, he is officially now a Ciroc Boy!” Diddy exclaimed.

Shyne Recalls Reconciling With Diddy

Shyne and Diddy smoothed-out their long-standing differences earlier this year, in their first meeting in over a decade. Shyne infamously went to prison following the 1999 New Year's Eve nightclub shooting that also involved Diddy and his then-girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez. Shyne says that the two spoke as men--and that the past and the business end of their relationship never came up.

"Nah, that was a man moment. When men get together, it's not about no music, it's not about none of that," he said. "Men sit down and talk about men things. Music didn't come up. I haven't seen the dude in probably 12 years, and 10 of those years were in prison. We had so much to talk about other than music. But you never know. I feel life is about forward movement, and when you're holding on to things, you really can't move. And I try to keep it pushing. That's what that meeting was about. Nobody's perfect and if a man talks to you as a man and as a brother and says to you, "listen, I did this, I did that," and really man up, what could you do?"

Jadakiss Wants More Holograms?

The aftermath of the 2Pac hologram performance at Coachella a few weeks ago has left all of hip hop talking about holograms. While many have criticized the idea of dead rappers taking the stage, rapper Jadakiss seems to love the notion. In fact, Kiss says that there are other deceased hip hop figures that should be brought back to the stage via technology.

"It cost a lot, so I think Diddy with his connection to Interscope and Jimmy, I still think he got the resources to do a Big joint whenever he goes out to do a big tour; that'll be cool," Jadakiss said. "I think it was good for the 'Pac lovers and for these young cats that ain't really get the chance to see him or understand him. But I think if they gonna do it, we should try to do Big L, Pun -- let's do all of the fallen soldiers of hip-hop and let the people get a chance to see 'em at one of these big venues."

Diddy Competing With Jay-Z?

Diddy talked about his topping the Forbes List of the richest names in hip hop and how it fuels competitiveness between he and hip hop's other high-profile mogul, Jay-Z. Diddy claims that the two go back-and-forth intentionally and its all in the spirit of competing.

"I'm usually at No. 1," Diddy told Funkmaster Flex. "Our plan was to always flip-flop on it. This was the year I told him that we had to flop it back to its original owner. We push each other, we inspire each other. It's just a beautiful relationship of natural competitiveness. But you know, it's back at Bad Boy."

So where does Birdman fit into this equation?

Suge Knight Threatens Rick Ross?

Suge Knight blasted Rick Ross in a recently-released interview with 93.5's Tattoo and Cee Cee because of Ross' track "Tupac Back." Knight says that for Ross to release a song referencing Tupac while maintaining ties to Diddy, Knight's long-time nemesis and a man Knight has implicated in the death of Tupac, is a slap in the face.

"I can't sit up here and say I'm bitter to Rick Ross, 'cus like anybody else, we don't know Rick Ross," Suge said. "That's a guy who uses somebody else's name. This guy comes from being a correctional officer. I don't got nothing negative [against him] personally, I just feel like he do do good music, and you can't take that from him. That boy got bars, he's gonna write…at the same time, I feel like there's a line you cross, and Rick Ross crossed that line. If you're gonna be with a guy [Diddy] who killed Tupac, you can't go turn around and do a record [called] 'Tupac Back'…Rick Ross is a grown ass n***a. I'll beat the dog sh*t out of Rick Ross for manipulating these people out here."

Shyne Praises Diddy Reconciliation

Shyne discussed his recent reconciliation with Diddy in an interview with XXL. The animosity had bee long-standing, stemming from Shyne's role in the infamous 2000 New Year's Eve shooting that involved Diddy and then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez. Shyne would spend a little under a decade in prison, but now he says there is no more bad blood between he and the Bad Boy mogul.

“You can’t overstate the cultural significance of what Shyne and Diddy reconciling means,” wrote Shyne. “You know I’m about it when it comes to them hammers, thus unfortunately this could have ended like Tupac and B.I.G. But what if Tupac and B.I.G ended like this and reconciled?"

“Let’s celebrate this moment as a historical event and a victory for hip-hop and Afro and Latin American men trained to exterminate each other,” he continued. “It’s a new day! L’chaim!!!”

"On a scale of what this says to African and Latin American men, who have been trained to self hate and to self-destruct, this is a watershed moment,” he wrote. “The paradigm shift that’s taking place as the way Afro and Latin American men deal with each other is tremendous. This could be a gigantic step in putting an end to the cycle of hate and violence that is self-genocidal and destroying the minority community by sending fathers off to jail or an early grave.”

Cassie's Racy Dinner Jacket

Cassie has been hitting up all of the Paris Fashion Week events with her longtime 'mentor' (boyfriend?) Diddy and other notables like Alicia Keys and Kanye West. Even former Bad Boy Records rapper Shyne was seen hanging out with Diddy and Cass in the City of Love. But Cassie's outfit to a recent dinner got her a lot more attention than anything else she's done while in Paris.

the 25 year old sported a colorful jacket to the King of the Hearts dinner. She wore nothing underneath it.

"King of Hearts. Paris. Dinner ;) Xx" she tweeted.

Sexy look, no?

Diddy & Russell Are After Katy Perry?

Rumors are swirling (no pun intended) regarding pop superstar Katy Perry and a possible hook up with hip hop mogul Diddy. Yes, Diddy is 'allegedly' dating Cameron Diaz, but wandering eyes spotted the two A-listers getting a little close-for-comfort at a Vanity Fair party this week.

But wait--there's more...

According to Bossip, KP has also caught the eye of another, older hip hop impresario. That's right, Russell Simmons has apparently cast his eye towards Ms. Perry as well. He supposedly asked her for her phone number at pre-Oscar party last week.

All it takes is a divorce from Russell Brand to make this chick the most sought-after woman in music? Who knew...

Dawn Richard Leaves Bad Boy?

Dawn Richard, formerly of Diddy Dirty Money, has announced that she is doing her own thing. The singer has parted ways with Diddy's Bad Boy label, and says that the split has been amicable thus far. Knowing the label's history, that's sort of an anomaly.

"“Puff has been really great with being supportive of me starting a solo career, and he’s agreed to let me go from Bad Boy," she says. "I’m really grateful to him. He didn’t have to do that. He could have been what they say that he would be, and he wasn’t at all. He gave me a business decision. It was a very amicable decision. Now, it’s just about the music, and I want to make him and them proud of believing in me enough to let me go try it.”

Good luck to her.
