TMZ reports that former Bad Boy publishing division chief Francesca Spero has sued Diddy and Bad Boy (including the publishing and management divisions) for $12 million, claiming that she was fired due to age discrimination.

According to the report, Spero says in the complaint that she had been addicted to prescription medication and alcohol and subsequently "suffered a relapse." She claims that Diddy was "unsympathetic to her condition" and began to distance himself from her, leading to her being fired in March of 2010.

Further, Spero, 51, says that she was replaced by a woman who was 10-15 years younger who did not match her qualifications.

TMZ has a statement issued by a spokesperson for Diddy. "This is a grab for money by someone who concedes in her complaint to having had a drug relapse while on the job and an employer who was not satisfied with her work," he said. "There are many reasons why Ms. Spero is no longer employed by Bad Boy, but age discrimination is not one of them."

Mind of Med has an interview with Willie Taylor of Day26. They talk about Diddy, the group's recording process without Qwanell "Que" Mosley and more.

Med: Whats the recording process now like for Day 26 without Que? And I am not just talking about his personality but the actual recording records with 4 guys instead of 5?

Will: Of course its a lot different. Que knows that he has always been one of my favorite voices of the group. I always liked his tone and I thought he was a dope singer. But even though there is one voice missing there are a lot of good voices left and we are going to still have that Day 26 sound. This album you going to hear more of Big Mike I dont think he got enough shine in the first two joints he is really killing these records. We have a deep story line that we have been working on with Bryan Michael Cox. The album is coming out amazing we are coming out with a lot of impact records I think people are going to really respect the music this time. With us not being on TV this time it gives Dj, radio and everyone the opportunity to love the music versus what they thought about what went on the show.
