The Harlem native Ma$e was one of many artists booked to perform at the Lovers & Friends Festival in Las Vegas on Saturday (May 14), but it didn’t go exactly as planned. Numerous technical difficulties plagued his set and after attempting to perform “Mo Money Mo Problem” — his 1997 hit with The Notorious B.I.G. and Diddy — the sound was cut off for roughly 10 minutes.
The veteran rapper soon suggested Diddy was behind the sabotage, telling the crowd, “I see what’s going on. I’m used to being hated on. I’m used to what’s going on. Somebody, somewhere paid a few dollars to stop my show. But that can’t stop somebody like me. I don’t get ran away too easy. I just wasn’t ready for that, so I’m gonna take my time.”
Ma$e took it a step further and blatantly called out Diddy who he believed was behind the difficulties he experienced during the show. Diddy, of course, was in Sin City to host the 2022 Billboard Awards, which he executive produced.
“Thank you Puff, you know he paid for that right?” he said. “I got you n-gga. I heard you loud and clear.”
