The rapper and producer, 53, who has been doting on his six-month old daughter,Love now claims his $5K a day in royalities to Sting was a joke.
Puff has been trying to clear the air after tweeting that he pays Sting $5,000 a day in royalties for sampling the 1983 single Every Breath You Take on his 1997 hit I’ll Be Missing You.
The kerfuffle happened when a clip from a 2018 interview with The Breakfast Club was shared on Twitter Wednesday by Black Millionaires.
In the clip, Sting, 71, estimated he made about $2,000 a day from royalties from the song.
That’s when Diddy re-shared the clip and wrote, ‘Nope. 5K a day. Love to my brother @officialsting!’
