Misa Hylton recalls the beginnings of Bad Boy Records
The 51-year-old said she was 19 and pregnant when Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was fired from his job at Uptown Records. Founder Andre Harrell allegedly fired him because “There cannot be two kings in one castle.” Misa said: “Puffy was scared. He had a baby on the way and we had just moved into a big, beautiful new house.” She continued, “He made me call Dre and ask for his job back multiple times.” However, “Dre was in the business.”
Hylton said he supported Combs and he started running Bad Boy “in our basement in Scardale, NY.” She then remembered how they “were in the palladium,” It is Diddy gave Funk Master Flex Craig Mack’s ‘Flava In Ya Ear’ to play. They waited in anticipation for “the response (of the crowd)” It is “everyone went CRAZY.”
Misa said this is “(your) life story” It is “experience” and asked his followers not to “Come here with any negativity, instead try to pray for everyone involved.” She added, “You can’t erase history and cultural impact. This is OUR legacy.” The post ended with her clarifying how old she was at the time. The fashion pioneer stated that the internet got her age wrong, and she turned 20 seven days after giving birth to her son Justin.
Hylton’s positive post about Sean came as a shock to some. As previously reported by The Shadow RoomMisa blasted Diddy after Justin was arrested for DUI last June. She claimed that he was not “not protecting anyone anymore.” Additionally, she stated that seeing the video in May 2024 of Diddy abusing his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a Hotel “triggered (his) own trauma.”
