OMF BREAKING NEWS!! Diddy pays Sting $5,000 a day for the rest of his life, for this reason; « He asked me to… »

The hip-hop star controversially sampled The Police’s hit single from 1983, ‘Every Breath You Take’ in one of his most popular tracks titled ”I’ll Be Missing You’ which was first released a whole 14 years later in 1997.

However, it seems that that Diddy’s decision landed him in some pretty high water after revealing that he has to pay a hefty amount of loyalty to the singer every day.

Sting was asked by the radio host, Charlamagne the God: “Is it true that Diddy has to pay you USD $2,000 (AUD $2,986) because he didn’t ask permission to sample ‘Every Breath You Take’.”

The musician went on to say that Diddy cheekily asked for permission to sample his song ‘after the fact’ before Sting confirmed that there’s no bad blood between the two music icons.
