Mase | Where Are They Now? | How Puff Daddy Turned On Him
Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

The rapper known as Mase is best remembered as Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs’ favorite sidekick -- a guy who earned his spot on the Bad Boy label through a series of popular guest collaborations with other rappers. In fact, by the time he dropped his debut album, “Harlem World”, Mase was already a bonafide star. Sure, his flow might have been a bit more relaxed than your average MC, and yes, his raps were often questioned for their startling simplicity, but the man carved out a lane for himself and stuck to it... right up to the point where he decided to abandon his second studio album to pursue a career as a Christian Minister. As you might imagine, this change didn’t stick and Mase returned to hip-hop in the mid-2000s, but things were never quite the same – including his relationship with Puffy which has recently been in the headlines over claims of how poorly Mase was treated by the man who many believed to be his best friend. What is Mase’s major gripe with Combs? And what exactly does Fivio Foreign have to do with all of this? If you wanna find out then stay tuned to our newest episode of Where Are They Now!
