In a new interview with “The Breakfast Club,” he candidly elaborated on how this situation caused tension within the label, prompting a rare intervention from Diddy. According to Shyne, the Bad Boy founder convened a meeting to address the delicate issue, expressing his disapproval of two labelmates pursuing the same woman.

“I started dating the girl, and that caused like a big thing. We had to have like a family meeting. It was like, ‘Yo, what are you doing? You know, you’re like Kobe coming to the Lakers, and, you know, you want to go after Shaq’s joint.’ Like, you can’t do that. And that’s what I was on for 98. I wasn’t focused,” he recalled of his pep talk from Diddy.

Things with the “Almost Doesn’t Count” star went south during an argument, where she allegedly called Shyne out.

“She’s selling millions of records. She had like the biggest record that year,” he shared before Charlamagne that God interjected and stated Shyne was speaking about Brandy. “We had an argument. And she said, ‘Yo, you’re nobody…You’re nobody. You ain’t sell one record. You think you styling, and you think you’re that. You’re nothing. You haven’t sold a record.’ And that hit me like the hand of God just slapped me back into reality because she was telling the truth. I wasn’t there to date R&B divas and pop divas and look fly. I was there to make hit records. And I wasn’t doing that.”

Adding credibility to Shyne’s revelation, DJ Clark Kent corroborates the story in Shyne’s new Hulu documentary, “The Honorable Shyne.”

Mase and Brandy’s relationship reportedly lasted around nine months while working on her “Never Say Never” album. Neither has responded to Shyne’s claims
