I believe it was the late Notorious B.I.G. that coined the phrase 'Mo Money Mo Problems' on the hit track featuring Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and Mase; well it looks like art is about to imitate life if author and former Bad Boy artist Mark Curry has his way.
Curry has written an explosive new book titled "Dancing With The Devil" : How Puff Burned The Bad Boys of Hip-Hop. Inside Curry gives the rundown on a side of P. Diddy that the public never gets to see, from alleged shady business practices to sexual trysts with men.
Loldarian.com affiliate Gyant sat down with Mark Curry during the premiere episode of Gyant Unplugged TV and asked Curry about what he'd witnessed first hand as a former member of P. Diddy's camp.
Curry to Gyant on the long rumored romance between P. Diddy & Mase:
"You gotta look at it like this. A person like Mase that comes to Puff and wants a record deal automatically is willing to do anything he gotta do to have that deal. So you have to look at it like this...you're willing to sell your soul for this. And if you're willing to sell your soul then you're willing to do anything.
They might say hey I'll give you a million dollars, but before I do that I just wanna take a couple of pictures of you with your shirt off and your pants off too."
Uhmm...is this hip-hop we're talking about? Shameful. Hypocritical. Homophobic and homoerotic at the same time.
Get into Gyant's interview with Mark Curry in the clip below. He addresses the gay rumors around the 5:40 mark.

You can tell a man is gay by the way he handles his money? I'm sorry...but his understanding of homosexuality is entirely misconstrued. Everything he said after that statement was questionable to me.
Whether true or not, P. Diddy will easily sweep this under the carpet.

Yeah I also found that part of his statement to be troubling. And I agree that the rich and powerful Diddy will probably ignore this, but it does make you wonder exactly what's happening behind the scenes.

That statement troubled me as well. He pretty much insinuated that you tell a man is gay if he is money-hungry, self-obsessed and devious.
That being said, I think much of what he has to say about Diddy has been said for years, so most of the book's content is probably true.

First, who really cares if Diddy is gay, bi or straight? Second, it's become very obvious to me that the Mark Curry's, Media Take Out's, Terrence Dean's, & Wendy Williams' are just one of many opportunist trying to cash in on the exploitation and sensationalism of the perception and outting of black "DL" men. So until SOLD undisputable proof can be presented, I am not willing to take anything that any of them say to be factual. Lastly, all gay men, especially the older ones, should know better than to buy into all of this crap. We know that men on the DL of ALL races and backgrounds have and will be around for forever and a day.

SO IN OTHER WORDS HE JUST PUT PEN TO PAPER ABOUT THE RUMORS THAT HAVE BEEN FLOATING AROUND FOREVER... OH AND HE DO KNOW GYANT GAY RIGHT... SO WHY DIDNT GYANT CORRECT HIM ON THAT MONEY STATEMENT... THIS WAS JUST FOOLISH TO ME... NICE ATTEMPT THOUGH... I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT VIDEO

I agree with you COMPLETELY Anwar, but unfortunately alot of black folks including black gays LIVE for this garbage. Most gay men will focus so much on these old rumors they won't realize the obvious prejudice of this Curry person. If one is truly proud to be gay they shouldn't need for others to be outed to give them comfort. If others knew more about the music industry they would know that most first time artist don't
make money.
He just pulled together a bunch of rumors and put pen to paper because misery loves company. If he knows Puffy is gay he should have been able to produce facts. Say that he actually saw something. He basically said that gays are selfish people who keep all the money for themselves and everything is about them and thats how he knew Puff was gay???
Is is possible that Puff has messed with men? Sure, but who cares. One day folks will wise up a bit but hey this makes Wendy and her followers happy.

I could never believe anything that comes out of Mark Curry's mouth. When he was on the Wendy Williams Experience last year (or was it this year...I forget), he was completely inarticulate, ignorant and unable to sell the book he supposedly wrote. I'm sure there are some fragments of truth sprinkled around the book, but this is more or less a Terrance Dean special; just enough to whet a curious palate without any REAL substance. I will continue to pass on these "get rich quick off of the celebrity or questionable/ambiguous sexual appetites of another" schemes.

Doesn't surprise me @ all...
