Diddy says he was 'joking' when he tweeted he pays Sting $5,000 per day for sampling 'Every Breath You Take' without his permission: 'It's called being Facetious!'
The Police frontman said he'd taken enough money from the rapper to put some of his six children through college.
"Those guys just take your shit, put it on a record and deal with the legality later," he said when asked how Diddy came about sampling"Every Breath You Take." "Elton John told me, 'You gotta hear ["I'll Be Missing You'"], you're gonna be a millionaire,'" he added. "I said, 'I am a millionaire!' He said, 'You're gonna be a millionaire twice over!' I put a couple of my kids through college with the proceeds, and me and P. Diddy are good pals still."The late Juice WRLD sampled Sting's"Shape of My Heart" on his 2018 hit"Lucid Dreams," which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and to date
