Diddy has to pay Sting $2000 a day for sampling Every Breath You Take, confirmed by Sting himself.

10,655 days × $2,000 = $21,310,000 💀

Diddy is lucky that Sting let him sample it at all.

It’s stupidity when it’s Andy Summers guitar riff that makes the sound. Stings original demo sounded like the Full House theme song. Andy gets $0

singer sting has to pay wrestler sting $1 for using that name

I think Sting is kidding. He smirks as he says it let alone. Think about it, $2000x 365 days= $730,000 a year.

10,655 days x 2000 = $21,310,000.00

🎵 Every bar you take, every play you make, I'll be skimming you.

You do know it was a joke

Yep, and that prick sting can’t even pay his ex band mates royalties

And all for a melody Andy Summers came up with.

It's a joke, he confirmed it was a joke between friends. Diddy weird ass knows the music game obvs.

This is such bullshit that Sting and his PR team make up so he can go on the radio and have something to say.

アンディに払うべき

The alternative offer from Diddy was a lifetime invite to his parties.

It's not like folks won't recognize the sample. I like that Bowie gave Public Enemy permission to sample Under Pressure with no royalties because he liked them.

Are you sure that’s all Stink Bug let the Diddler sample. I heard they were very close once apon a time.

This clip is from over 10 years ago… $2K p/d is $730K p/an every year BT for maybe another 30 years - over 50 years that’s $36.5M BT to Sting 👏 Well played lawyers, well played!

This nigga eating, no Diddy lmaoooo.

I wonder how much Andy Summers get since he is the one who came up with that guitar riff

Until rest of his life?

$2,000 a day? That sample is literally paying rent 😂

he should have paid andy summers half of it cause it was his guitar riff

$730,000 a year? Hall nah

Diddy sampled the guitar part NOT the lyrics. The royalties should go to Andy Summers 🎸💰💵

Shouldn’t the money go to the band? Why just Sting?

My mam disliked u a lot .in quadraphenia i got to watched .witb old vhs renting .my mother loved tbe film so much itvaas the jets and sharks on bikes .it was great fights shed ask what one do you like ialways licked paul weller good hes clean uwere into tantra sex tbe police lol

This is how Sting is able to pay Sting $1 a year for the right to use the name Sting. Because some people may not know this but Sting doesn’t own the name Sting, actually it’s Sting that owns the name Sting. But he allows Sting to use the name Sting for $1 a year.

no he doesn't anymore.

It's actually 5k a day.

Thats small change for Diddy compared to his baby oil obligations.

Should it be Andy summers that gets it .

That’s alot of baby oil money.

Whenever Diddy's song is played, the royalty goes to Sting.

@grok how much does sting get for the diddy track

Hard to consider sampling an art form.
