Mase Exposes Shocking Scam, How His First Business Manager Vanished with Everyone’s Money
Mase Exposes Shocking Scam, How His First Business Manager Vanished with Everyone’s Money
Mase, the hip-hop icon with a history of behind-the-scenes drama, recently revealed a harrowing tale of deception on the podcast “It Is What It Is.” The rapper, known for his association with Bad Boys Records, spilled the beans on a heart-wrenching experience of being scammed by his initial business manager right after signing with Diddy’s Bad Boys Records.
Recalling the ordeal, Mase shared, “I remember when I first got a deal with Bad Boy Records, I think it was my first business manager, he ran off not just with my money, he ran off with everybody’s money. So, we ain’t have no money to pay taxes.” He refrained from naming names but hinted that several artists fell victim to the manager’s deceit, prompting him to recruit fellow rapper Cam’Ron and others to confront the elusive figure.
Even as Mase and Cam’Ron explore podcasting, they teased fans with the revelation that unreleased music still resides in their vault. The duo, however, appears to be stepping back from the music scene for the time being.
In a surprising turn of events, Mase and Cam’Ron found themselves in a beef with podcast host Shannon Sharpe, responding vehemently to online comparisons between their shows. Mase, in particular, fired back fiercely after Sharpe mentioned him by name.
The lingering question remains: Should Mase have named names in his shocking tale of betrayal? Share your thoughts in the comments section below and delve into the captivating podcast episode for the full story.

Lugal I-Shun mixes myth and message in new release”The Samaritan”
Lugal I-Shun’s new release, “The Samaritan,” is less like a single and more like a living chapter from a larger story. The song is based on his Echoed Words universe and combines the spiritual core of reggae with cinematic storytelling to give listeners an experience that goes beyond sound to meaning.
“The Samaritan” leans into reggae’s long history as a means of fighting back and healing. Lugal I-Shun doesn’t just sing; he tells a story through his lyrics, blending reflective themes with a mythological identity that gives the song a sense of purpose and continuity. The song’s slow build gives it a quiet power that makes people want to reflect on its themes rather than rush through them.
This reggae talks about memory, truth, and strength, things that people who see the genre as more than just rhythm can really relate to. The way the story is told feels planned, almost like a ritual, as if every note has meaning and every phrase adds to a bigger spiritual conversation.

Sam Stokes channels power and identity in new release “I’ll Still Hold Up”
Sam Stokes’ new single, “I’ll Still Hold Up,” is an anthem of self-worth, strength, and identity. The fourth song from the upcoming album, “The Tale of Gaia,” helps to tell a larger story about Earth, mankind, and connectedness. But it also emerges as a bold, character-driven rock anthem.
“I’ll Still Hold Up,” which is great for long drives and strong feelings, captures that indescribable feeling of freedom. Analog MP3 handled the production, which is gritty and guitar-forward but still polished and ready for radio. Stokes sounds extremely sincere, and the performance has a rawness and an almost filmic quality. You can hear the tension between being weak and being strong, like every line is pushing back on what it’s allowed to do.
The songwriting, joined by Hannah Johnson, is about strength and sensitivity, revolution and introspection. The song is about reclaiming power when it feels threatened, and this message hits home, especially for people finding their identities and voices. “I’ll Still Hold Up” is a broader tale about hope and interconnectedness. It supports Stokes’ artistic vision, and it reminds us that strength often lives in the heart and does not need to be proven.
