Diddy has revealed that he pays Sting $5,000 every day for using a sample of Every Breathe You Take for his 1997 song, I'll Be Missing You. The rapper recently retweeted a previous radio interview that Sting gave where he confirmed that Diddy coughs up over 2 grand daily for the sample. But in the tweet, Diddy corrected Sting and said it's in fact 5 thousand every day, before adding that he has a lot of love for the former Police frontman.
Diddy used Sting's 1983 hit on his track which was a tribute song for Biggie Smalls after he was shot dead in 1997.
The earliest known recording of The Beatles has been discovered 60 years after it was filmed. The Fab Four performed a gig at a school theatre on 4th April 1963 which was soon before they catapulted to global fame. The show was recorded by a teenager at the time named John Bloomfield, who then took his recording to BBC Radio 4's Front Row. John's recording features the Beatles singing the now-famous hits I Saw Her Standing There and a cover of Chuck Berry's Too Much Monkey Business. The rare tape was described by a Beatles historian as fantastic as it shows the band on the cusp of their huge breakthrough.
Chloe Bailey has responded to criticism for her recent collaboration with singer Chris Brown. The singer teamed up with Chris for her new song, How Does it Feel, which features on her upcoming album In Pieces, but fans weren't happy with Chloe for working for Chris following his previous criminal convictions including his assault against Rihanna in 2009. Chloe defended her decision while appearing on the V-103 podcast, stating that no matter what she does people have something to say, and that she wants the music to speak for itself.
