Sean “Diddy” Combs, (who played a lawyer on the recent episode of CSI:MIAMI) is reportedly unhappy about a new tell-all book coming out about him.
Page Six reports that former Diddy associate Mark Curry is currently shopping around Dancing With the Devil: How Puff Burned the Bad Boys of Hip-Hop to various publishing houses.
In the book, Curry alleges that Diddy,
“hoodwinked and bamboozled me for nearly a decade” in promising to release Curry’s music.
“I had to leave the label and its illusions of wealth in order to save my career, my marriage, my mind and my soul,” he writes.
“This is a work of fiction, filled with lies, written by a disgruntled former artist ,” Diddy’s rep responds to Curry’s claims. “He was properly credited for the two songs he wrote and never produced any other material worthy of release by Bad Boy.”
