Ma$e has made a striking revelation—his first album in more than two decades is set to arrive the same day Diddy’s sex trafficking trial begins.
Seated with headphones on, the Harlem rapper slipped the announcement into conversation on It Is What It Is. “I’m listening to the songs that [Cam’ron] picked out of the stuff I made … It’s gonna be crazy. We had to pick the right records. I let him pick the right records,” he said. When guest co-host Maurice Clarett pressed him on the timing of his next album, Ma$e offered a knowing smirk before responding, “May 25th. The first day of the Diddy trial. We’re dropping. You like that? You made me put it out there.” Murda later disclosed that the release would span three discs, adding, “Now we even.”
Ma$e Teases Documentary Amid Diddy’s Legal Drama
Diddy’s trial is set for May 5, but whether Ma$e will align his album release with the proceedings remains uncertain.
Timing his musical comeback to coincide with Diddy’s trial wouldn’t be Ma$e’s first dig at his former mentor’s mounting legal troubles. After federal agents raided Puff’s homes last year—an operation that ultimately led to his indictment on sex trafficking and racketeering charges—the rapper seemed to relish the fallout. “Reparations is getting closer and closer!” he quipped on It Is What It Is, shortly after the police search.
As co-host Cam’ron highlighted the raids aligning with the 27th anniversary of Biggie’s Life After Death, Ma$e responded, “It’s amazing that all of this would transpire on that day. That’s eerie, man! That’s crazy.” In a subsequent segment, Ma$e shared his reasons for staying largely mum on Diddy’s legal battles, teasing potential revelations about his former collaborator in upcoming documentaries. “I’m saving my takes for the documentary,” he remarked. “If y’all wondering how I feel, it’s coming soon — pause.”
