NBA star Lebron James recently launched his new “Mind The Game” podcast with JJ Reddick, which led Draymond Green to saying that he had “a bone to pick” with James. Draymond stated, “I’m a little upset that LeBron James is going on a podcast, and he still hasn’t been on ‘The Draymond Green Show.’ But when it’s your own thing, you kind of can’t say anything, so I guess I’ll live with it for now. Pick the bone with him that I got to pick with him later.” 

Cam’ron and Mase, the hosts of It Is What It Is sports podcast, reacted to Green’s statement, with Cam’ron comparing it to artists signing to Roc Nation and thinking they’re getting a verse from Jay-Z. Cam’ron and Mase laughed at the thought , with Cam adding that artists will get the Paper Planes hat and a “vintage pair of S. Dots.”

Ma$e Says He Dissed Diddy After Seeing the Pain of Other Bad Boy Artists

Ma$e is continuing his latest attack on Diddy. Following the release of “Oracle 2: The Liberation of Mason Betha,” Ma$e hit Instagram and gave details to his recent diss.

“When I see the hurt and the pains of other people on Bad Boy, that motivates me to say something, so I don’t be deemed as a person who just made a bunch of money and turned a blind eye,” Ma$e said. “I’m not going to be like the rest of the people around Puff that don’t tell him he’s wrong. I’m not gonna be like the ‘yes’ men around him that see him ruining people lives and never tell him he’s wrong. More people on here will tell me I’m wrong, but won’t say anything to him.”

He added, “They’ll judge my beliefs, they’ll judge my Christianity, and they’ll say nothing to Puff. They’ll say nothing about it’s a concert for Biggie, and Biggie own daughter couldn’t get in. They don’t say nothing about that. But all of his friends got 50 and 60 tickets. We’re done with your games.”

On the new single, Ma$e made Diddy a direct target:

“Yeah, I’m just a Harlem nigga reppin down a Vegas strip with my own suge
You from Mt. Vernon nigga, go and rep your own hood
I’m not hating on your Billi worth
Right now, I’m only saying what you really work
You aint no architect
You just a nigga who know how to market death”

– Mase on “Oracle 2”

You can hear the single and why Ma$e dissed Diddy below.

Those who have closely observed the tattered evolution of Bad Boy Records –including Shyne, Loon and G-Dep’s prison bids, Biggie and Cracg Mack’s deaths and the disappearance of former Bad Boy front man Ma$e and his reappearance as a pastor, many already saw this coming. Malcolm X enthusiasts would call this a case of chickens coming home to roost.

Pastor Mason Betha wasted no time going after DIddy, his former boss and and cohort on his latest offering “Oracle 2: The Liberation of Mason Betha”, in which Ma$e takes jabs at Diddy’s integrity, his Harlem roots and even says that he exploited the death of Hip Hop legend Notorious B.I.G.

Mase’s track comes on the heels of some very alarming statements made by a couple of the Making The Band contestants from the premiere season, with one, Freddy P, claiming that his interaction with the Bad Boy founder eventually led to him wanting to commit suicide.

Liberation of Mason Betha

Ma$e is back to rapping, firing off his new single “Oracle 2: The Liberation of Mason Betha.” The Harlem World legend may catch a few people by surprise as he appears to take a shot at Diddy in the single.

“Yeah, I’m just a Harlem nigga reppin down a Vegas strip with my own suge
You from Mt. Vernon nigga, go and rep your own hood
I’m not hating on your Billi worth
Right now, I’m only saying what you really work
You aint no architect
You just a nigga who know how to market death”

– Mase on “Oracle 2”

The latter part of that set of bars is a shot at the relationship between Diddy and The Notorious B.I.G. There is no direct reason to Ma$e firing the shot but you can hear the new single below.
