Diddy’s Bad Boy Entertainment Partners With Epic Records

LA Reid

Epic Records chairman and CEO L.A. Reid, who founded LaFace Records and formerly headed Arista, confirmed the news in a statement:

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs aka Puff Daddy and I have been musical collaborators since the 1990s, when we both ran independent record labels. … Over the years, we not only enjoyed incredible success together, but we also became lifelong friends. Today, of course, Puffy is truly in a league all his own, continuing to influence culture and ignite musical revolutions time and time again. He’s a true innovator and I could not be more excited to join forces once again.

Diddy added:

I have known L.A. Reid since the very beginning and together we have enjoyed countless successes over our long friendship. To now work with L.A. in this capacity feels more like a homecoming than a new beginning. Not only is he a fearless and smart businessman, he believes in artists and understands music better than anyone. He embodies hard work and true success, evident in all of his endeavors. To collaborate with L.A. Reid is to collaborate with the very best.
