Diddy pays $5,000 a day to Sting for sampling his hit song “I’ll be Missing you” dedicated to rapper Biggie Smalls without permission
The rapper famously sampled the Police‘s “Every Breath You Take” in “I’ll Be Missing You,” his 1997 hit single with Faith Evans featuring 112. Now, Diddy has confirmed that he pays Police leader Sting $5,000 a day after not getting permission to use the sample.
Sting spoke about the royalties back in 2018, when he appeared on New York radio show The Breakfast Club and confirmed rumours that Diddy paid him $2,000 per day. Today, Diddy quote-tweeted a clip from that interview, clarifying that it’s actually $5,000 per day.
Evidently he’s mad, however. He wrote, “Love to my brother @OfficialSting,” adding a sunglasses smiley emoji along with heart hands.
