Mark Curry Reaches Out To Diddy On Behalf Of Black Rob
Earlier this week, Bad Boy alum, Mark Curry — who you might remember from the “Bad Boy 4 Life” track with Diddy and Black Rob — posted an Instagram video to update fans on the situation. Curry said the Bad Boy CEO reached out, but help is still needed.
“Puffy, we need your help, and you are reaching out. You’re tryin’ to help. We not gonna say he’s not. Puffy is really tryin’ to help. But call, reach out. Have someone call. We’re here together. It’s a lot of things you need to know, brother.”
Diddy Exposes Corporate America
At the start of this month, Diddy penned an open letter to corporate America. The theme was “If You Love Us, Pay Us.” The five-time BET Award winner accused corporations of exploiting Black culture by excluding Black businesses from reaping the benefits.
Diddy specifically called out General Motors, with whom he has a business relationship, for a “historic refusal to fairly invest in Black-owned media.”
“In 2019, brands spent $239 billion on advertising. Less than 1% of that was invested in Black-owned media companies. Out of the roughly $3 billion General Motors spent on advertising, we estimate only $10 million was invested in Black-owned media. Only $10 million out of $3 billion! Like the rest of Corporate America, General Motors is telling us to sit down, shut up and be happy with what we get.”
