“unfollowdiddy because 112 isn’t just their name, it’s their account balance.”


Dear Sean,

Here’s the irony, the folks that are twittering unfollowdiddy comments for the most part never followed you on twitter. They never locked in homie. I’d imagine that many however at some point were fans of artists signed to Bad Boy. You can tell, because they know most of your artists and are concerned with their whereabouts. Do you even remember most of the artists that have been mentioned? The truth is they’ve stopped following you Sean in the non-twitter world a long, long time ago and the last 24 hours has provided them the opportunity to vent some of the frustrations with you Mr. Ciroc Obama (I hope that there is some bill that President Obama is preparing to sign to end the use of this ignorant nickname by the way).

Their tweets, while funny hold some truths. Sure, careers fade and artists come and go, but they seem to do so in record numbers over at Bad Boy. What happened to Total? Where is Stevie J? Why wasn’t Mario Winans more successful? Where the hell is Carl Thomas? Where’s that girl group Dream? And, damn that was wrong what went down with Shyne. Sean, this is real talk.

Are you locked in? Because we damn sure know your twitter profile is locked down. A celebrity with a private profile? Must be plotting behind the scenes. I’d imagine that you wish Charles Hamilton would get punched in the face again so that the tide could shift away from you in the land of twitter.

By the way, “they’re haters” isn’t going to work. Can’t shrug your shoulders and think that using the over used term is going to make it all right. Why are they haters because they think folks should unfollow you? Sean, stop being so narcissistic and thinking everything is about you. Be humble for a moment and consider it a wake up call. A realization that you once had very talented artists on your roster and when you became the number one client, we all found that a bit suspect. They’re not haters, just folks with strong opinions. Come back down to earth brother.

Sure you’re a brilliant businessman but so is a pimp. And we’ve watched you Sean, pimp artist after artist. Most recently we’ve watched you create a male and female group on reality television. Then we watched Danity Kane fall apart, and that was really no surprise. One because creating a group on television and expecting them to stay together is like having a successful relationship from a dating reality show. But also because Bad Boy is the alleged label where artist go if they want to disappear forever like they’re in the witness protection program.

Sean, instead of calling folk haters, you could have acknowledged them. Let them know you hear their concerns, and then tell us where Black Rob and others are. Not acknowledging them and trying to discount them by calling them haters is a real case of bitchassness. This unfollowdiddy thing was just showing you that folks would like to remove the situation from the situation (even if your numbers are rising). Wake up. Are you locked in to that?

 

I’d like to leave you with one of my favorite unfollowdiddy comments: “Unfollowdiddy because his fine print reads, bullets, bars, set-ups, disappearing, snitching and fading careers”

    This letter holds much truths. Artist's shelllife dot last long on this label at all yet this dude gets paid and shows it off any chance he gets. Mind you he has baby mommas and child support so the artists' salary basically goes to that. Tv only reason he has followers is because of the private profile yet he ain't spittin gold being that he has a 4-word vocab...let's, go, lock, in. Sad!

  4. Great letter! Once upon a time I was a fan of Diddy, but I realized how he likes to dispose of people once he's through with them..I know yall remember how he did Da Band. I lost all respect for him after that.

  5. Preach my brotha preach! I've never really been a big fan of Diddy. I'm just glad that I see that I'm not alone. Some of the artists that I like that belong to his label, I actually like because of the artist and have to ignore that they're associated with him. Great job!

  6. I was just about to blog about the #unfollowdiddy Twitter Movement. I am going to completely link to you. This letter was so well written and hilarious.

    I have to admit, Diddy entertains me, but he does have that swagger which literally translates "to walk with conceit," and most of it is undeserving and for purely, as you put it, narcissistic and self-indulgent reasons.

    But he is at the top no matter what the history of Bad Boy is, and that is why he is still referred to as the king.

  14. If this letter had a Twitter account, I'd follow it and create a trending topic that says "follow because it speaks the truth and shames beelzebub".
