“Welcome to Bad Boy, where dreams come true,”
Sean Combs said as we shook hands over lunch in March 1997.
The record producer spent the next hour telling me how
impressive my rapping skills were, how soon he planned to
release my debut album, and that my personal wealth would
soon be in the seven-figure range. Talk about smoke and
mirrors.
Today, after years of writing hit records for Combs, I am no
closer to having my first album released by Bad Boy
Entertainment than I was when we signed the contract. Combs
cajoled, hoodwinked and bamboozled me for nearly a decade.
In the end, which for me came in 2005, I realized that I had
to leave the label and its illusions of wealth in order to
save my career, my marriage, my mind and my soul.
