A lot of folks think that JD and Puff earlier was just promotion, and it WAS, for everybody EXCEPT Puff. Jermaine wants to drum up demand bc he wants this battle, Swizz and Tim want it, Puffy does NOT. If Jermaine had played songs Puff would have been like "That was the battle"
And Jermaine knows that, that's why he called him out when Joe was like "It took a lot just to get him to do the live," and was like "Let's not act like it's so hard to draw Puff out. Don't act like Puff Daddy ain't Puff Daddy"
I'm gonna be thinking of Puff dropping "Real Love" and Jermaine saying "You produced that record?" until the day they finally get on a #Verzuz stage.

(I really think this is a budget vs fee conflation...)
If you pay me a fee to perform a service, that value is subjective. I set it.
If you give me a BUDGET, that's based on how much things cost that I'm agreeing to buy/do/produce/execute for you
So don't pay me a fee and ask where the money went - to ME.
Went to TMobile bc I need to replace my phone. The rep helping me was CRAZY short and snappy at the mouth, and I had to breathe because I recognized she didn't know how rude she was being, and thought I was being rude by asking questions..
For example, she says "Let's go over to computer so I can pull up your account." We go. She asks some questions to a sr rep next to her, then says something to me about needing to check my insurance - needed to replace my phone ages ago bc the case came off, now I dropped it.
The thing is, I needed to upgrade it anyway, so I don't want to fix it (even though it's insured) I just want a new phone. So after the thing about checking my insurance I start telling her my number cause she needs to pull my account up, right?
She cuts me off.
We all probably have friends or family who got with the wrong man, everybody was like "Girl, he gonna drag you down." They was like "I'ma stick beside him!!" Then once they started realizing they were in a fcked up situation they doubled and tripled down instead of leaving...
... That's homegirl.
She is gonna burn her career down and leave herself open to legal liability and make herself an international embarrassment because her husband is a felon and a sex offender who thought he could get around it.
I never thought to explore this but Clinton is dead on. Marching band uniforms directly oppose ease of movement or comfort. And they're a bitch to keep cleaned and fresh (bc you are sweating TO DEATH as he said)
Now I want this match to happen JUST so I can come on here and say "I TOLD Y'ALL," just like I did with Face and Teddy, and just like I did with Keith and Bobby. There are certain spaces of music in which I legit live... this is one of them, dammit.
I named Puff and JD the co-Patron Saints of #MusicSermon back in 2018 because that's how often their respective catalogs came up in my threads and playlists. Again, I'm not saying JD wins, but that shit will be neck and neck and Puff's far from a guaranteed victory.
