The controversy around Diddy paying Sting $5,000 per day to sample The Police on Biggie’s 1997 hit “I’ll Be Missing You” has been resolved.
It comes after the owner of Bad Boy Records said in a recent tweet that the reported sum he pays the British rock musician is incorrect.
“I want you to know I was kidding,” he tweeted on Friday (April 7). “It’s known as being Facetious!” @OfficialSting and I have been buddies for a long time!

“He never charged me $3,500 or $5,000 a day for Missing You.” He definitely makes more than $5,000 every day off one of the most popular songs in history.”
I want y’all to understand I was joking! It’s called being Facetious! Me and @OfficialSting have been friends for a long time! He never charged me $3K or $5K a day for Missing You. He probably makes more than $5K a day from one of the biggest songs in history.

LOVE ❤️😂🙏🏿💫⚡️✨
Nevertheless, it is unclear whether an agreement was struck when the song was published in 1997.
