Diddy shells out $5,000 per day to Sting for unauthorised sample use
Diddy clarified this updated fee on Twitter on Wednesday, after Sting previously stated in a 2018 interview on The Breakfast Club he received $2,000 (£1,540) every day for the sample use. Despite the additional amount, Diddy, real name Sean Combs, expressed love and respect for the former The Police frontman in a tweet. “Nope. 5K a day,” Diddy wrote, retweeting Sting's 2018 chat. “Love to my brother @OfficialSting.” According to Sting, Diddy only sought permission after the release of I'll Be Missing You.
