MASE STILL SIGNED TO BAD BOY RECORDS

The Lox are ignoring shots from their former protege Jae Hood…

Mase has been making the rounds on mixtapes and in 50 Cent’s “Window Shopper” video pledging his allegiance to the G-Unit but the rapper still isn’t officially signed to the label. Sean “Diddy” Combs told MTV.com, “Mase is still signed to Bad Boy. Me and 50 haven’t worked out our business. It’s looking like it could go that way (and Mase will leave the label) — I wish him the best of luck.”

As for all of the success he shared with Mase prior to Mase’s retirement, Combs said, “Our time was beautiful time. Our time went down in history. I’ve moved in my direction, he’s moved into his direction.”

Before his retirement, Mase released two albums: 1997’s quadruple-platinum Harlem World, and 1999’s certified-gold Double Up. The rapper released his gold-certified comeback album, Welcome Back, in 2004.
