The LOX Are “In The Process” Of Getting Publishing Back From Diddy

During a conversation with Joe Budden on Amazon Live’s AMP on Thursday (Oct. 27), Jadakiss expressed that The LOX is working closely with Diddy to get their publishing back. Kiss also discussed his desire to go independent after he satisfies his Def Jam contract.

“I’ll probably do a partnership, somewhat independent, signed to myself,” the rapper said. “Put out music and put my artists out freely.”

Jada then revealed that he plans to sell his portion immediately once the deal is done.

“We just in the process of getting our catalog back from Puff, so I’m selling that immediately after the ink is dry. I’m selling sh*t, Joe.”

The LOX and Diddy have a storied history together. Jadakiss, Styles P, and Sheek Louch dropped their 1998 debut LP Money, Power & Respect on Bad Boy Records, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.

Puffy and the trio began to distance themselves from each other due to creative differences, resulting in the LOX requesting to leave the label, prompting the “Free The LOX” campaign.

However, things came to a head when the three rappers got into a heated argument with the Bad Boy founder, resulting in Styles P infamously throwing a chair at the Harlemite. The group also called him a “coward” and a “thief” during a heated Hot 97 exchange in 2005.

As a result, Puffy, née Sean Combs, allowed the LOX to leave his label, but he has since remained the owner of the group’s publishing.

Elsewhere in business, the Kiss of Death emcee has launched a coffee company with his son, Jaewon Phillips, and father, Bob Phillips.

According to an official press release, Kiss Café will represent three generations of legacy, loyalty, and a shared love for coffee.

Bob Phillips has been involved in the coffee industry since 1977. Since 1998, Jada’s pops has served as president and CEO of Caturra Corp., a boutique importing and trading firm specializing in international green coffees.
