This is following me being shot up, the Trackmasters deal [at Columbia Records, where Lopez was signed], and I’m just getting back to work, and he’d call me to write.

However, Diddy was persistent in working with him. “I remember Diddy would call, and my son’s mom would answer, and I didn’t want to get on the phone like, ‘No, no, no.’ And she was like, ‘What the fuck? We need money.’ She’s looking at me, like, “What? Why don’t you want to talk to him?”
