Former Bad Boy Records rapper Mark Curry feels that Sean “Diddy” Combs’ decision to give artists back their publishing rights is too little, too late.

On Wednesday (Sept. 6), Curry, who was signed to Bad Boy during the first half of the ’00s and appeared on Diddy’s hit 2001 single “Bad Boy for Life,” shared his thoughts on his former CEO’s gesture in a social media post. The lyricist stated that he’d rather be compensated with a seven-figure payout than have the rights to his publishing, pointing to their seemingly decreased value.

“Diddy gave the publishing back… So what,” Curry wrote in the post’s caption. “It has no value… I want him to give me a million cash and then I can plan the rest of my life out well.” In an accompanying clip, the rapper reiterated his desire to be paid for his contributions to Bad Boy while revealing he had received his publishing rights back from Diddy “a long time ago.”
