Diddy forced to pay Sting $5,000 a day for the rest of his life
Diddy has been forced to pay Sting £4,020 ($5,000) each day for the rest of his life.
The hip-hop icon was forced to pay the ongoing fee after sampling one of the musician’s tracks without permission in 1997.
The sample in question was taken from The Police’s hit 1983 single, ‘Every Breath You Take’, which Diddy used in one of his most famous tracks, ‘I’ll Be Missing You”. He has now confirmed the hefty fees on Twitter after a 2018 Sting interview re-surfaced.
