    According to Billboard.com, rapper Yung Joc would love to sue Diddy and his Bad Boy Records, as well as Block Entertainment over a list of contractual discrepancies.

    These include – but may not be limited to – failure to pay advances and royalties for the rapper’s first two albums.

    Yung Joc was apparently charged “outrageous clearance fees” when he collaborated on tracks with other artists.

    Yung Joc wants Diddy and co. to know that he isn’t “some chump in this shit.”

    He complains that he received a measly $25,000 advance for his first album, and though he had a million dollar budget for his second album, he received no advance.

    For his third album (he complains further) he again only received $25,000.

    According to the rapper, his main issues are with Block Entertainment, though he says Diddy and co. have been less than accommodating.

    Diddy says he’s got to stay out of it because it’s between me and Block Entertainment. I was never signed to Block Entertainment, but they’ve been interfering with a lot of my business. I feel like [Bad Boy] isn’t doing anything to try to intervene and help the situation.”

    The pending lawsuit, says Yung Joc, is nothing personal: “I’m not even griping; I’m just letting it be known that what’s fair is fair, and I haven’t been treated fairly. I’ve been fighting for a year and a half. I’m prepared to weather the storm. So they could kiss my ass, and let’s go to court.”
