Diddy is all about the love these days. He says giving back artist’s publishing rights was the right thing to do. Some of the artists don’t think it’s enough.

Diddy Talks Giving Back Publishing Rights to Artists

Have you had a chance to check out Diddy’s album? I listened to it more yesterday and I really like it. Not long ago we told you that Diddy was giving back a bunch of artist’s publishing rights. Diddy explained why he made that decision by saying, “When I had went and called out the Grammys, I also had to make sure that I had also looked from within. Once you start, like, asking for change in this world, you have to look within and be a part of that change. So, this actually was done two years ago when it was, it was more of me just evolving as a businessman, you know? A person that really wants change in the world. It was the right thing to do.” Here’s the full clip of Diddy… https://x.com/365OTG/status/1702728028567064923?s=20

Danity Kane’s Aubrey O’Day isn’t impressed with Diddy’s gesture of giving back publishing rights, She said that artists are making very little money on streaming music.

Now, remember Mark Curry went off about this and now Aubrey O’Day from Danity Kane kind of did the same. She revealed, “So, what’s happening is artists are being given streaming royalties and ownership back over our publishing on songs that we wrote at a time when you know, that you have to stream a song a million times to make one cent.” Aubrey actually went on to say in the interview that it makes zero sense. She called all of the rest of the members of the group and was like, ‘do not sign this because it’s worth like a couple hundred dollars a year’. But now she can’t go on and do any interviews in the future, paid interviews, about her time in the group, about her time with Diddy or anything like that, which could be much more lucrative for them. So, I don’t blame her for not signing that. Here’s more from Aubrey… https://x.com/OnlyStansShow/status/1702751416660427238?s=20

You knew Eminem had to drop by and visit 50 Cent when he was in town last night. Em came out for two songs with 50 at Pine Knob.

Eminem Takes the Stage With 50 Cent

50 Cent performed at Pine Knob last night and he had a surprise guest. Eminem came out on his verse on “Patiently Waiting” and then also to perform “Crack a Bottle”. He asked the crowd to make some noise for Hip-Hop’s 50th Birthday and for one of the ‘best friends he’s ever known’, 50 Cent. Watch a video from the show here… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaEDO1RzQkg

Eminem: 8 Of His Infamous Rap Beefs, Ranked

• 8. Moby

  Musician and producer Moby and Eminem’s beef occurred during the 2001 Grammys where he called the rapper “misogynistic and homophobic,” per Highsnobriety. Eminem didn’t take it too well and called him out in “Without Me.” Take a look at the diss track below:

• 7. Joe Budden

  “The tracklist, without the benefit of a doubt, appears to be utter garbage,” Budden said about Eminem’s 2017 album Revival on his podcast. He then called the single “Untouchable” “trash” and “one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard.” Em retaliated on “Chloraseptic” and then later on his 2018 album Kamikaze, dissing Budden on the track “The Fall.”

• 6. Nick Cannon

  Nick Cannon started beef with Eminem when he was with then-wife Mariah Carey. However, the riff esculated when Eminem brought it up 10 years later. At first, Eminem decided not to respond but then hopped on Fat Joe’s and Dre’s “Lord Above” and aimed straight for Cannon.

  “I know me and Mariah didn’t end on a high note/ but that other dude’s whipped, that p—- got him neutered,” Eminem raps on the track.

  Cannon later responded in a series of tracks titled, “The Invitation,” “The Invitation Canceled,” and “Pray for Him.”

• 5. Machine Gun Kelly

  Machine Gun Kelly didn’t get the memo to not talk about Eminem’s daughter Hailie. MGK infamously referred to Eminem’s daughter as “hot as f—” in a now since-deleted tweet back in 2018. That’s when the Detroit native released the diss track “Killshot” with album artwork with the likeness of MGK. In the song, Eminem came for his hair, lack of hits, and his ex-girlfriend Halsey. MGK also responded to Eminem in a diss track of his own called “Rap Devil.”

• 4. Will Smith

  At the 1999 MTV VMAs, during Will Smith’s acceptance speech for Best Male Video award, where Eminem was also one of the nominees, Smith slighted the rapper saying that he didn’t need to use “profanity or threaten people” to sell records. Eminem didn’t take it lightly and released “The Real Slim Shady” with the line directed at the actor: “Will Smith don’t gotta cuss in his raps to sell records / Well, I do, so f— him and f— you too.” Smith responded by releasing “Mr. Niceguy.”

• 3. Ja Rule

  Eminem stayed out of Ja Rule’s and 50 Cent’s beef until Ja Rule took mentioned his daughter in his song “Loose Change.” Slim Shady doesn’t play about his daughter and released a series of diss tracks including “Doe Rae Me (Hailie’s Revenge),” “Bully,” and “Hail Mary” with 50 and Busta Rhymes. Take a look at “Hail Mary” below:

• 2. Mariah Carey

  Mariah Carey’s and Eminem’s back-and-forth definitely tops as some of the best diss tracks from these influential artists. The beef started when Eminem sparked speculation that there was a relationship between the two in a 2002 interview with Larry King. He said that they have “hung out multiple times.” Mariah alleges a relationship never occurred so Eminem released private voicemails of her during his Anger Management Tour. The MC also attacked Mariah and Nick Cannon’s relationship in the track “Bagpipes From Baghdad.” Mariah responded by releasing the song and music video “Obsessed” where she dressed up looking like the “Lose Yourself” rapper.

• 1. Christina Aguilera

  In 1999, Eminem married Kim Scott and was trying to keep the ceremony under wraps until Christina Aguilera told press for her What A Girl Wants MTV special in 2000. The songstress also talked about “physical abuse in relationships” warning women to look out for certain behaviors, something else the MC did not take likely. Instead of having a sit-down interview on the incident he went straight to the booth and did what he does best and called out the pop star in the iconic diss track “The Real Slim Shady.” Aguilera wasn’t taking it either and showed she has some bars as well and did a remix of his diss track called, “The Real Slim Shady (Please Shut Up).”
