Diddy has been dropped by many businesses and business partners since being accused of аssаult, but Cipha Sounds’ remix has expelled him from one of his own songs.
The former Hоt 97 DJ reinterpreted Puffy’s 1997 posse song “It’s All About the Benjamins” in light of the Bad Boy boss’ legal troubles.
The unofficial “No Diddy” remix replaces Diddy with Jadakiss rapping his opening verse utilizing artificial intelligence.
The AI Kiss spits legendary lines like “Now, what y’all wanna do?” and is nearly identical to the genuine thing. Who dippin’ in the Benz with the spoilers? Wanna be ballers, shot callers, brawlers? From the Taurus jake, trying to acquire Grants like Horace.”
In an Instagram video, Cipha Sounds explained that the radio boycott of Diddy’s music inspired his invention.
Diddy is canceled. His wacky stuff is over there. As a DJ on 94.7 The Block in New York City, they told me I can’t play P. Diddy’s music anymore.
“I can’t play ‘All About the Benjamins’?! Are you mаd?! How can I exist as a DJ in NYC without playing ‘All About the Benjamins’? You must realize that ‘All About the Benjamins’ is one of the finest Hip Hop New York songs ever!”
According to Ciph, Jadakiss penned Diddy’s verse on the song. “Why can’t I then use modern-day AI technology — you see where I’m going with this — and put Jadakiss’ voice where Puffy’s voice was? It’s not odd because he penned the rhymes!”
In 2020, Jadakiss told Talib Kweli’s People’s Party podcast about composing Diddy’s line on “It’s All About the Benjamins”.
Kiss said, “That would be me,” when co-host Jasmin Leigh questioned who wrote Puffy’s lyrics. We were rapping in the MIDI room when [Puffy] entered and heard me rhyming.
“He heard my rhyme and said, ‘Naw, that’s me. Let me get that rhyme. He put that on “The Benjamins.”
The LOX lyricist said Diddy “forced” him and Sheek Louch to record their verses since they didn’t like the track.
He stated, “We didn’t really understand what that beаt was; it didn’t grab us at the time.” “But Diddy knew. What makes Diddy Diddy. After receiving that joint from Hitman producer Deric Angelettie, he realized what it was.”
He said: “That really was, like, our first commercial and hood Һit that catapulted us, besides the mixtape stuff.”
Jadakiss said he “hated” ghostwriting for Diddy when The LOX joined to Bad Boy in the late 1990s.
He said, “I really hate it,” on Smoke DZA‘s Personal Party podcast. After delivering Diddy ‘Benjamins,’ ‘Victory,’ ‘Senorita,’ and a couple remixes, I felt like it was taking too much from me.
Not knowing how to transform. He wasn’t an n-gga I knew my whole life and could explain how I wаnted him to be. It didn’t suit to write the bars for myself and offer them to him.
“He was too rich. I was still grungy and couldn’t think about Versace or being wealthy, so writing for him conflicted with me.
“But [Diddy] used to tell me, ‘Give me the sҺit that you would sаy for you.’” But I said, ‘It ain’t gonna fit for you.’ It worked for him before. I discovered how easy it was as I got older.”
