It appears that the Bad Boy/Interscope roster has grown by one, as Diddy has signed singer/songwriter/producer Jeremy Greene, according to the clip below.

At the beginning, Diddy announces that he's about to sign Greene to Bad Boy and praises the singer's multi-faceted talents before the duo sign the actual paper work. Diddy teases Greene a bit about being from Maine - he was born in Winslow, according to a bio on Friendster.


Greene was featured on E!'s "Living Lohan" TV show and his most noteworthy single to date is 2008's "Rain," which featured versions with Christina Milian, Bossman (purchase) and Pitbull (purchase). You can listen to more on his MySpace and download his free "Elevated" mixtape, which has been downloaded over 3,000,000 times to date. He can be followed on Twitter as jeremygreene1.

His MySpace lists MySpace Records as his record label. Digital Music News reported in January that that the label was being restructured and, according to a source, would shift to more of an A&R; focus. MySpace Records was created through a joint venture with - here's where it makes sense - Interscope. It's unclear if MySpace Records will still be involved in his project or if he will simply shift to Bad Boy.

Beyond Diddy, Dirty Money and Greene, Bad Boy/Interscope is expected to sign both Red Cafe and Cassie, if it hasn't happened already. Back in December, Red Cafe said that both he and Cassie would be on the roster and this was bolstered by the appearance of an Interscope logo on the promotional single for Cassie's "Let's Get Crazy."

After the unexplained deletion of his enessbadboy account on Twitter, Ness has returned with OfficialENess, according to the Twitter of Jodie from Exponential Entertainment.

Yung Joc is featured with an opening verse on "Magic City," a new track from singer Lloyd, who recently signed to Interscope.

I reached out to Red Cafe on Twitter to ask how the remix to "I'm Ill" was coming along and he replied saying that it would premiere next week. Stay tuned.

During a recent club appearance, Diddy said that if you weren't drinking Ciroc, you were drinking "pee pee." Diddy himself drinks more than just Ciroc, so of course, this was a marketing stunt. Reports indicate he said it in a club in New York, but I know he said it in a club in Miami. So, maybe he's said it more than once.

Anyway, this marketing stunt has begotten another marketing stunt. Martin Silver, who owns vodka brand Georgi Argent, put out a press release demanding an apology and promising to deliver a toilet full of Ciroc to Diddy's office and he followed through, according to reports by the New York Daily News and My Fox New York.

Honestly, it didn't seem like it got all that much attention as far as people actually showing up (see the clip below), but it's been successful because it was picked up by many outlets online (and probably offline) and put the brand in front of people who hadn't heard of it (like myself, a non-drinker) and there is always a segment of people who dislike a celebrity or public figure, so the stunt will resonate with those folks, as well.


Pretty funny that protesting Ciroc actually involves buying more Ciroc. But, that's the point, I think. At the end of the day, this will likely lead to more sales for both vodka brands. The chances of Diddy apologizing for such an off-hand statement are probably between slim and none, but Mr. Silver likely knows that and doesn't even want an apology. It's a show; it's entertainment. It's marketing.

Back in August, we reported that Red Cafe would be a featured artist on Kristine Elezaj's "Living Dream." This was followed with a free download, which remains online.

Over on the NBTV Studios website, you can check out some behind the scenes footage for them recording the track.

Earlier this month, a publicist for Diddy confirmed to BBC that he had an interest in some sort of investment in an English football club.

The team most commonly referred to in speculation was Crystal Palace. The administrator for Crystal Palace, Brendan Guilfoyle, told the Bromley Times that Diddy "has shown a desire to help, but sadly that desire does not extend to money."

Vibe is reporting that Dirty Money will perform "Hello, Goodmorning" on American Idol, next Wednesday at 9 PM ET on FOX. The U.S. version of the track features T.I., but it's unclear if the Atlanta-based rapper will appear on American Idol for the performance.

Below, check out the the full music video for Red Cafe's "I'm Ill" featuring Fabolous care of Cafe's Twitter. Co-starring Jadakiss, the clip also features cameos from Akon, Sheek Louch and Grafh, among others.
