Sean
"P. Diddy" Combs to Bring
His Bad Boy Records to Warner Music Group
Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, founder and CEO of Bad Boy Entertainment, a Grammy Award-winning producer, hip-hop artist, pop star and TIME magazine’s "Most Influential Business Leader of 2005," has entered into a worldwide 50/50 joint venture with Warner Music Group. As part of the newly formed joint venture, Combs will continue to serve as CEO and will be able to draw upon the marketing, promotional and physical and electronic distribution resources of WMG and its Atlantic Records, WEA Corp. and Warner Music International divisions. The new joint venture, known as Bad Boy Records, will include Combs’ existing recorded music business — which has sold more than 75 million records worldwide, including 10 million alone by Combs — and its Grammy Award-winning catalog and roster of multi-platinum artists such as B5, Boyz N Da Hood, Mase, Carl Thomas, 8Ball & MJG, Mario Winans and P. Diddy himself. The company will continue to be based out of Bad Boy’s current offices inManhattan.
In just over ten years, under the guidance of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, Bad Boy has grown to become one of the most dominant urban labels in the business, with acts that have had significant crossover success. Throughout the years, Bad Boy has been home to popular rappers such as Notorious B.I.G., The Lox and Mase as well as R&B stars Faith Evans and 112 and pop group Dream. Under the aegis of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, whose proven talent for discovering and nurturing talent and whose production work has scored many hits for the likes of Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, the label has grown significantly. In 2002, Combs ended his relationship with Arista, and — in an unprecedented deal — walked away with his entire artist roster and rights to 100% of his catalogue.
