Easy
Mo
Bee
has
levied
a
claim
that
he
was
“blackballed”
in
the
music
industry
for
confronting
Diddy
over
producing
credits.
Veteran
producer
Easy
Mo
Bee
claims
that
for
some
time
he
had
been
shunned
in
the
music
industry
since
confronting
Diddy
over
the
production
credits
for
one
of
Bad
Boy
Records’
greatest
hits.
He
shared
the
story
during
his
time
as
a
guest
on
The
Sample
Lounge
when
he
talked
about
working
on
the
remix
to
Craig
Mack’s
1994
iconic
track
“Flava
in
Ya
Ear.”
Easy
Mo
Bee
had
produced
the
original
while
working
extensively
with
Bad
Boy
in
the
early
1990s,
beginning
with
producing
“Party
and
Bulls—t”,
the
first
single
for
The
Notorious
B.I.G.
“I
remember
we
were
gonna
do
the
remix
[of
‘Flava
in
Ya
Ear’],”
the
producer
recalled.
“He
had
the
idea
to
throw
LL[Cool
J],
Busta
[Rhymes],
Rampage
on
there.
Dope!
When
I
saw
the
record
and
it
said,
in
this
particular
order:
‘Remixed
by
Sean
‘Puffy’
Combs,
Chucky
Thompson
and
Easy
Mo
Bee,’
I
bugged
out.
I
kinda
flipped
out.”
Easy
Mo
Bee
continued:
“I
was
like,
‘Wait
a
minute,
you
didn’t
do
anything
on
the
record!
And
Chucky
Thompson,
he
kinda
sat
there
and
watched
me
do
the
remix
in
Sound
on
Sound
Studios
…
Because
I
didn’t
go
along
with
the
management
thing,
now
my
credit
is
getting
taken?”
The
Grammy
Award
winner
then
spoke
about
how
he
confronted
the
mogul
over
the
situation.
“I
went
up
there
with
my
manager
and
spoke
to
him
about
it,”
he
stated.
“I
told
him,
‘Yo,
do
me
a
favor,
man.
Don’t
do
that
again.
I
don’t
like
that.’
From
that
point
on,
I
think
that’s
when
the
relationship
changed
over
there,”
Mo
Bee
said.
“My
relationships,
period,
started
to
change.
I
noticed
that
certain
people
wouldn’t
deal
with
me.
I’d
heard
about
blackballing.”
It
left
Easy
Mo
Bee
stunned.
But
looking
back,
the
producer
maintains
that
he
felt
he
handled
the
situation
correctly.
“I’m
a
man.
I’m
a
certain
kind
of
man.
This
man,
up
to
that
point
in
my
career,
I
didn’t
have
any
problems
with
like
that,”
he
said.
“I
would
do
the
same
today.
I’m
a
man
of
principle.
If
blackballing
is
what
they
call
it,
then
so
be
it,”
Mo
Bee
said.
The
claim
comes
as
Diddy
is
in
a
whirlwind
of
accusations
about
his
behavior,
recently
being
hit
with
a
lawsuit
by
a
producer
claiming
he
sexually
abused
him.
