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.

Martin Lloyd Howard channels nature in acoustic track “Rapids”
Martin Lloyd Howard’s recent single, “Rapids,” is a masterclass in acoustic storytelling that blends technicality with atmosphere. Originally a left-hand dexterity exercise, it devolves into full-bodied guitar playing that suggests the flow of water up and down a river, from foamy rapids to quiet pools, just as nature itself moves.
Howard’s classical training is evidenced by the precision of his fingerwork, and his interest in folk, blues, and rock brings a warm, natural depth to the performance. His guitar solo arrangement also illustrates how he can convey emotion without lyrics. He employs variations in tempo and phrasing to suggest the erratic dynamics of rushing water, only then allowing the melody to relax into quieter, more meditative spaces.
The music is dynamic and soothing at the same time, making you feel like you are on an adventure and thinking things through. “Rapids” stands as evidence of Martin Lloyd Howard’s versatility and imagination. It’s good for those who enjoy acoustic guitar playing or music that falls between raw virtuosity and emotional resonance. It’s an opportunity to focus, slow down, and find your way into the river of sound he has lovingly crafted.
