Bad Boy Records (or Bad Boy Entertainment) is an American record label
founded in 1993 by Sean "Puffy" Combs.[1][2] During the late 1990s, the label
signed numerous artists including Craig Mack, The Notorious B.I.G., Faith
Evans, Mase, 112, Total, The Lox, Shyne and Carl Thomas. At its peak, Bad
Boy was worth an estimated US$100 million.
During the 2000s, the label signed French Montana, Machine Gun
Kelly, Janelle Monáe, and Cassie, among others. In 2023, Combs created a
successor label, Love Records to independently release his fifth studio
album, The Love Album: Off the Grid.[3][4][5]
History[edit]
Beginnings[edit]
After his climb from a non-paid internship to becoming an A&R executive

at Uptown, Sean "Puffy" Combs was fired in 1993 by Andre Harrell and
founded his own label, Bad Boy Records, shortly after.[2] The label's first
release was "Flava in Ya Ear" by Craig Mack, followed quickly by Mack's
debut album, Project Funk da World in 1994. On the heels of these releases
came "Juicy" and Ready to Die, the lead single and debut album from the
Notorious B.I.G. (a.k.a. Biggie Smalls), released the same year. While Mack's
album went Gold, Ready to Die achieved multi-platinum success. Dominating
the charts in 1995, B.I.G. became one of the genre's biggest names of the day
and Bad Boy's premier star. Also in 1995, the label continued its success with
platinum releases by Total and Faith Evans. Bad Boy, meanwhile, staffed a
bevy of in-house writer/producers,[6] including: Easy Mo Bee, Chucky
Thompson and D Dot—each of whom are credited on a bulk of Bad Boy's
releases during this time.
Feud with Death Row Records and loss of the Notorious B.I.G.[edit]
Further information: East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry
The rapid success of the Notorious B.I.G., and Bad Boy as a company, raised
some tensions, especially with the Beverly Hills, California-based Death Row
Records. For 3 years leading up to 1995, West Coast hip hop, dominated by
labels such as Death Row, had been preeminent in mainstream Rap. Suge
Knight, CEO of Death Row, held Puff Daddy responsible for the shooting
death of his friend Jake Robles, allegedly at the hands of Sean Combs'
bodyguard Anthony "Wolf" Jones. Tensions were heightened when Death
Row signed 2Pac, who alleged that Bad Boy, notably the Notorious B.I.G. and
Puff Daddy, had been complicit in the November 1994 shooting of Tupac in
the lobby of Quad Studios in Times Square.
After the June 1996 release of 2Pac's "Hit 'Em Up", smearing Bad Boy,
tensions escalated. 2Pac was shot in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 7,
1996, and died September 13. Bad Boy issued a statement of condolences.
On March 9, 1997, while Bad Boy were preparing the release of the Notorious
B.I.G.'s double album Life After Death, he was killed in Los Angeles,
California. Their deaths left many to speculate if the coastal hostility had been
responsible for their deaths. The police investigations were criticized by public
and judicial sources. Both cases remain officially unsolved.
Life after the Notorious B.I.G. and rebuilding the label[edit]
Posthumously, Biggie's Life After Death reached number one on the Billboard
Top 200. Its first two singles, "Hypnotize" and "Mo Money, Mo Problems" also
topped the singles charts. The album eventually sold over 10 million copies in
the U.S. alone, and is one of the highest selling rap albums ever in the U.S..
In 1996, Puff Daddy had begun recording his own solo debut album. The first
single, "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down", peaked at No. 1 on the Rap, R&B, and
pop charts that spring. In response to Biggie's death, the label rush-released a
Puff Daddy tribute song, "I'll Be Missing You", which featured Biggie's widow,
Faith Evans, and Bad Boy's R&B singing group 112. The single topped the
charts for eleven weeks and became the hasty second single from Combs'
album, No Way Out, which was released in the summer and sold 7 million
copies in the U.S.. Mase, Combs' newest protégé, in the meantime was
immediately thrust into the void that the Notorious B.I.G. left. His own debut
album, Harlem World, also released the same year, would go Quadruple
Platinum. Due to the successive successes of Life After Death, No Way
Out and Harlem World, by the end of 1997, Bad Boy as a label and brand
name had hit a commercial peak. During this time, the label began to promote
its latest signing the L.O.X., who had been prominently featured on various
Bad Boy releases that year. Highly anticipated, their 1998 debut
album, Money, Power & Respect was certified Platinum by the RIAA. Shortly
thereafter, the group departed the label and entered into a long-standing
publishing dispute with Combs over the latter receiving 50% of their publishing
that would continue until 2005.
In 1998, Combs decided to expand Bad Boy's roster to genres other than hip-
hop and R&B, and subsequently signed Fuzzbubble to the label as its 1st rock
act.[7] The group appeared on the rock remix of Puff Daddy's "It's All About the
Benjamins", but parted ways with the label before releasing a full-length
album.[8]
In the years to follow, Bad Boy saw a commercial decline. In 1999, Mase
became religious and abruptly retired from the business, leaving a serious
dent in the company, especially since his 2nd album had just been released.
Bad Boy found some success with Shyne, a young rapper from Brooklyn, who
garnered generally mixed reviews for his deep voice and slow flow—which
many considered to be too reminiscent to, and perhaps a rip-off of the
Notorious B.I.G., meanwhile, Combs' later albums failed to generate the same
kind of acclaim that his debut had. In an attempt to further market himself, he
underwent several name changes; from "Puff Daddy" to "Puffy" to "P. Diddy",
to simply just "Diddy" then shortly Diddy- Dirty Money". But with the split of the
group he abruptly returned to "Diddy". In June 1999, it was reported that Clive
Davis and Arista had given Combs a $50 million advance on future earnings
in 1998, but Bad Boy only generated around $30 million in 1999.[9]
As the 2000’s emerged, Bad Boy had noticeably floundered. Many of its more
noted acts would eventually vacate the label, while those who remained saw
their album sales dwindle as time went on. In spite of continually releasing
new material, and various attempts at building artists to the status of Bad
Boy's the Notorious B.I.G., few proved as successful as the company hoped.
Bad Boy had success in 2000 with Black Rob, a New York City rapper who
began associating with Bad Boy in 1996. His album, Life Story, was released
through Bad Boy on March 27, 2000. The album debuted in the top 3 on the
Billboard top 200, and was certified Platinum by the RIAA.
On June 20, 2002, it was announced and confirmed that Combs and Bad Boy
parted ways with Arista Records after being with the label since its inception.
Combs was able to walk away with ownership of Bad Boy's catalogue as well
as recording roster.[10] In January 2003, Combs and Bad Boy then entered
talks with The Warner Music Group's Elektra Records about Elektra possibly
housing Bad Boy for a reported $10 million deal.[11] However, the deal
ultimately fell through. On February 6, 2003, it was announced and confirmed
that Bad Boy had signed a distribution deal with The Universal Music
Group's Universal Records. Under terms of the deal, Combs would retain
100% of the company, while Universal would handle distribution and provide
marketing and promotional support.[12]
Southern rap duo 8Ball & MJG released an album called Living Legends to
some success in 2004, prompting the creation of Bad Boy South—which
would eventually house acts such as Yung Joc. In 2002, Combs' participated
in MTV's Making the Band 2, which spun off the Bad Boy assembled act, Da
Band. Their MTV exposure lead to a Gold selling debut album. At this time,
the label also signed a rapper named Aasim, whose Bad Boy debut album
never been released.
Resurgence[edit]
In 2005, the company formed a joint venture with Warner Music

Group (WMG). This saw WMG become the worldwide distributor of the
company’s back catalog of classic hits, and take 50% equity in Bad Boy
Entertainment.[13] Combs, however, retained joint control over the label and
can buy back his equity stake at a later date.
Bad Boy would also see its fortunes improve in 2005,[14] with the success of
releases from new signees: Cassie and Yung Joc (both of whom would score
top five singles/debut albums). Also in 2006, Bad Boy hit paydirt with Making
the Band 3's Danity Kane, whose debut album topped the charts at No. 1 (the
label's first chart topping album since the Bad Boys II soundtrack three years
prior), and spun off a top five single. Their second album, Welcome to the
Dollhouse also debuted at No. 1, and contained the group's second top ten
single "Damaged". Diddy also signed Day26 and Donnie Klang to the label.
However, by 2009, Combs had dissolved Danity Kane, terminating Aubrey

O'Day's, D. Woods', Shannon Bex's and Aundrea Fimbres' contracts.[15] Dawn
Richard remained signed working as solo artist and songwriter for Bad Boy. In
March 2009, it was reported that Richard and Combs were assembling a new
girl group but later formed Diddy – Dirty Money, composed of Combs, Richard
and a singer-songwriter named Kalenna Harper. In April 2009, Bad Boy also
signed Red Cafe.
In September 2009, it was announced that Combs would be leaving Warner,

inking a new deal with Universal's Interscope Records. Under the terms of the
new deal, Combs rebooted the Bad Boy name and trademark, to be operated
through Interscope. The previous Bad Boy catalog and roster, however,
remains under the control of Warner.[16]
2010–present[edit]
In 2010, Diddy offered Mase a 1-year release from Bad Boy to settle their
differences after the 2009 incident with Mase wanting to be released from Bad
Boy. With this Mase decided to retire from rap for good, although he was to be
reassigned to Bad Boy after his year break was done. In 2011, under his new
deal with Interscope-Geffen-A&M, Diddy stated he was looking for new talent
to add to his new Bad Boy roster. Jay Electronica, who had close ties with
Diddy, was originally planned to be signed to the label but had signed
with Jay-Z's Roc Nation imprint instead.[17][18] Machine Gun Kelly announced
that he signed to Bad Boy/Interscope on August 3, 2011.[19] French
Montana and Los also were announced as signees to the label in 2012.
On April 25, 2012, Mase featured alongside Diddy on Wale's "Slight Work"
remix, marking the first appearance of the Harlem rapper on record since
2010. Rumors began to start that Mase, as well as singer Omarion, were both
signing to Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group. It was later revealed that Bad
Boy artist French Montana was the reason Mase was making his third
comeback. According to Montana, Mase is serving as an A&R representative
on Montana's forthcoming Bad Boy debut, "Excuse My French", as well as
appearing on the remix of Montana's "Everything's a Go". "I'm not sure what
kind of decisions he's going to make," Montana says, "[but] I would love to see
him in my camp." Mase is currently resigned to Bad Boy Records but has yet
to announce whether he is resigned as part of a joint venture deal between
Bad Boy and MMG. He later announced he had gotten his release from Bad
Boy.[citation needed] In April 2013, Cassie released her first full-length project
seven years after her debut album, a mixtape titled RockaByeBaby, to
positive reception. Rapper Los announced his departure from Bad Boy
Records on March 19, 2014.[20]
On October 5, 2015, Combs announced that Bad Boy would be distributed by

Epic Records.[21][22] This will mark the second time that Epic president L.A.
Reid oversaw distribution for Bad Boy, having previously overseen distribution
for the label 15 years earlier after being appointed president of Arista in 2000.
Despite founding the label in 1993, Bad Boy began celebrating their 20th
anniversary in 2015 with a 20-minute mega-medley performance at the BET
Awards. It stretched into 2016, starting with the label's May reunion sold-out
shows at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and originating the Bad Boy Family
Reunion Tour, starting in North America in the last week of August 2016.[23][24]
