Yung Joc is going after the infamous career-ending Diddy and Bad Boy Records. He might be the only one in the history of Bad Boy to actually take Diddy to court over money and his music. Pop the top for more:
I got a phone call from Block Entertainment’s Yung Joc late last night. Shady business deals, missing budgets, and now rumors of company financial hardships – Yung Joc reached out to Gyantunplugged.com to share his side of the story. Block Entertainment’s number one artist has been noticeably absent from the roster for at least a year. There have been industry whispers going around that their was inner turmoil inside the record label, particularly between Joc and Block. A couple of weeks ago the newest rumor was that Joc was leaving Block Entertainment all together and had decided to make the full move over to Bad Boy records. But it looks like Harv and them over at Bad Boy records is playing games with easy going MC and now Joc’s taking everybody to court.
Joc broke down all his gripes regarding his relationship with the owner of Block Entertainment – Mr. Big Block. Joc alleges that due to contractual situations, unpaid royalties and unpaid advances the young business mogul and his legal team is currently in the process of taking legal action against his record label.
The multi-platinum rap star alleges that Block Ent/Bad Boy hasn’t offered any label support since 2007. Yung Joc went on to make shocking claims about the inner dealings of Block Ent.
According to Joc, he’s paid for his own public relations, claims to not be receiving his advance money for his projects, alleges that Block has used advances for other projects, and even makes shocking claims regarding his former management company 9196.Joc quickly broke down his reason[s] for splitting with his former mgmt company, which happened to be owned by Big Block, but is fronted by CEO Rico Brooks. Yung Joc breaks down the situation by saying that it was nothing more then a 360 deal , that resulted in Block getting a piece of everything Joc. Wait, can’t a record label that also owns a mgmt company be considered a conflict of interest? Many people didn’t know, but Shakir Stewart and Ted Lucas took over mgmt of Joc’s career shortly after Joc ended his relationship with 9196. But since Shake’s suicide late last year, Yung Joc and two mgmt companies have taken over mgmt duties.
And what’s this I’m hearing about Big Block charging other record companies 25k to clear Joc for a record? I guess that explains why we haven’t seen Mr. Robinson in any video’s recently. Joc shared tells of Block’s ‘Suge Knight -esque” actions that’s prevented Joc from being cleared to do other music projects outside of Bad Boy and Block ENT.
But, though Jasiel Robinson is upset with his current business situation with Block, the popular artist wasn’t in the mood to throw grease. I have been hearing all kinds of rumors surrounding BlockENT and when I inquired about the street whispers, Joc made it clear that he was only interested in addressing his direct gripes with the company.
Joc is currently being legally represented by Londell Mcmillian and Nova Perry.
It should be noted that Joc’s new venture with Hot Stylz is a profitable one. Their smash single “Lookin Boy” feat Joc sold over a million ringtones and Joc’s currently hard at work on his newest project “Mr Robinson’s Neighborhood”. Joc has re-teamed up with producer Nitti and has provided me with three songs for you all to listen to, which I’ll have for you later today.
If Yung Joc turns up missing, yall know what happened – the Bad Boy Bermuda Triangle effect. Diddy’s claimed several careers already. Watch out Yung Joc. You might be next.

The infamous paper gangsta Diddy strike’s again!!!
Fuck me? Fuck You! (Kami All Day) 5/14/09, 09:34:AM
Diddy is lame. Period.
He better be glad that he has money because without it, he’d be suck an ugly muthafucka. Money is the ONLY reason people are on his bone, money is the ONLY reason why females fuck with him, and money is the ONLY way that he is survivng in this world.
Poor kids of his.
Hoep they wont be cursed for all the ill will he has caused people.
Generational curses are no joke. His kids arent even going to know what’s going on.
Let's talk truth... 5/14/09, 09:34:AM
Diddy doesn’t have a career…LOL!! His job is to eat and digest careers. He is a hot mess..something is really wrong with that man.

dayg715 5/14/09, 09:37:AM
in this day and age, you’d have to be a really stupid jackass to sign a recording contract with Diddy. Day26 better enjoy it while it lasts, which won’t be much longer.

Good that someone is taking his ass to court . What makes him think he can just pimp people. I hope Yung Joc gets justice and Sean Combs is exposed for the snake he is ..
jswang 5/14/09, 09:46:AM
Sounds like his beef is more with Block entertainmen than with Badboy.
Sasha_Kayente 5/14/09, 09:47:AM
Good for Young Joc taking a stand for himself. Make Diddy pay where it hurts: his pockets. Diddy may be making money but he is a disgrace to many Blacks in America. Look at all the seeds he’s dropped. Sure he can afford them…but it doesn’t say much about him really being a man. And, any woman who let’s him touch them: IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. So…all that said…take away the money and he’s just a scrub.
Plastic007 5/14/09, 09:49:AM
thats rite Joc go after PShitty and put his “Cool” but bad business habbits on blast get ya money…. im liking Joc he said im not gone blast the entertainment group just give me m,y fucking money Diddy is mess bout time

I wish I would pay 25k for a Young Joc verse.
steelcitychick 5/14/09, 09:56:AM
@ Sasha_Kayente….my sentiments exactly. I’ve been waiting for someone to take a stand for them self and bring to light what a snake in the grass Diddy is!! Go Joc!
tasty t 5/14/09, 10:01:AM
Bout time Diddy ass is whack as hell he always start these artist out and then for some unknown reason drop them like hot potatoes, get whatever you have coming to you cause if it was Diddy ass he would get his and another thing young artist gonna get enough for fucking around with Diddy their careers never last look at making the band with chopper, and look at Danity Kane and just to name a few. Diddy ass dont want nobody getting more than him so get what you have coming to you and leave Diddy no good ass alone
And.....(with 5 dots) 5/14/09, 10:03:AM
I say all of Bad Boy artists need to gang up on his ass and file a class-action lawsuit. The fact that he has a management company inside his record label is extremely shady. That means that he is double dipping in the artists money. Somebody needs to take him down.

Y’all didn’t read the post…
*You HAVE TO because Bossip can be VERY MISLEADING at times if you don’t read the entire post…
Or BETTER YET take a look at the “highlighted” source link that is usually at the bottom of the quote and read the article in it’s entirety…
According to what is before us, Young Joc’s main issue is with Block Entertainment…
And plus with the way Diddy has his contracts written up Joc wouldn’t have a shot in hell, *especially since Diddy’s money is soo long and dragging this out in court wouldn’t be to anyone’s favor but Diddy…
By the way, Young Joc made $11 Million off of his first record on that Bad Boy/Block Ent. Venture…
Nique 5/14/09, 10:17:AM
@slide like a fresh pair of gators
You might be right but its always good to take shots at the devil(diddy)
TheMan 5/14/09, 10:21:AM
maybe Niggaz dont read. Nothing in the entire article says Diddy did anything or had anything to do with this. I guess its true if you want to hide something from black folk just put it in a book.
Its6amHoGetOut, the only opinion that really matters on this muthafucka! 5/14/09, 10:26:AM
Why do muthafuckas sign with Puffy, even if its thru another smaller label? You know damn well Puffy gives you a choice 1) you wanna be famous or 2) you wanna be rich, you cant be both nigga! I mean look at his history, and these are the artist who’ve come to hawaii that I got to talk to on the beach:
1. Total, broke as fuck with a platinum album.
2. mase, didnt talk to that nigga, never liked his slow ass remedial raps.
3. Gdep, broke as fuck hit record.
4. Black Rob, broke as fuck with hit record “whoa’ blowin’ up the charts.
5. Craig mack, broke as fuck doin’ shows rappin’ “flavor in ya ear and Get down” more than once, never got paid royaties.
6. 112, smart enough to bounce after too many missing or shorted royalty checks.
Puffy aint payin’ a nigga! it cost too much to fly around the world and put your face on the side of buildings people, and the nigga is reponsible for about $100,000 a month in child support payments to three babymommas, Did you honestly think Puffy was gonna pay for that shit outta his pockets?
Now being that yung joc is a shitty ass deep south rapper who its documented spent a ridiculous amount of money on a big ass ugly “H” chain, you gotta excuse him for his stupidity, but now that the nigga is broke and retained one of the best music industry lawyers (Londell McMillan is no joke) he’s helped OutKast and TLC secure huge advance and royalty deals in the neighborhood of $25 and $40 million each, this wack ass bama nigga is eventually gonna get paid what he’s owed, but only 5 minutes before court is about to start.
Love 6am
Danielle 5/14/09, 10:26:AM
lol…When will these people learn, IF U WANT SUCCESS AND LONGEVITY DON’T SIGN WITH BAD BOY!!
Z.I.T.B. PRODUCTIONS 5/14/09, 10:27:AM
It amazes me how artist allow others to fcuk up their careers. Here are the FACTS:
1. YOUR MANAGEMENT COMPANY WORKS FOR “YOU”! NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
2. NEVER SIGN TO A LABEL THAT HAD A HISTORY OF ARTISTS NOT STAYING ON THE LABEL.
3. IF YOU COME IN SHADY YOU WILL EXIT SHADY
4. NEVER EVER EVER EVER SIGN A 360 DEAL. IT IS 2009. THE RECORD EXECS THAT DON’T EVEN LIKE HIP HOP ARE MAKING MONEY OFF OF IT AND IT HAS GOT TO STOP.
5. READ DONALD PASSMAN’S BOOK “ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE MUSIC BUSINESS” EVERY TIME YOU GO TO TAKE A DUMP. THAT SHOULD BE YOUR BIBLE IF YOU ARE AN ARTIST. YOU WILL NEVER GET FCUKED IF YOU LEARN THE BUSINESS AND STOP EXPECTING OTHERS TO LEARN IT FOR U.
OH NO 5/14/09, 10:32:AM
AH GOOD OL’ STEAL YOUR MONEY DIDDY IS BACK. LETS SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES DIDDY TO BLACK BALL YUNG JOC…

It’s not Bad Boy that’s the problem here, it’s Block Ent. That’s what happens when you dealing with a street mogul. Everybody knows this paper don’t last forever so they try and get over on the artists.

Laila 5/14/09, 11:53:AM
Young Joc was @ the Louis Vuitton store @ the Beverly Center last year. He was asking my friend and I advice on bags and he was super chill.
When we went to pay for our stuff the sales clerk said that he had already paid for it! No Joke!
I didn’t even know who he was, but I sure did go out and buy hos CD after that. Maybe he should have managed his money better……..
Actually everyone knows Diddy is shady!!
