P Diddy has denied accusations of doing wrong by his old Bad Boy Recordings artists while they were on his label.

Diddy has spoken out to defended his name following persistant rumours that in the past he had mistreated or swindled acts he had signed.

He told VIBE Magazine: "There's an off perception that needs to be addressed about me that I have ever robbed somebody or mistreated somebody. Or tried to be ruthless or whatever in this game. Like, all this year I've heard people say, 'Where's Carl Thomas, where's Black Rob, where's G.Dep? Where are these artists?'

“For some reason they go ahead and equate that, cause those artists aren't with me, that I've done something wrong or malicious or conniving. It's something that I do have a problem with because they don't have no proof that I've ever done nothing like that."
