Diddy Waves Bye-Bye To "Last Train To Paris" Release + Answers Lil Kim's Disses, "I Ain't Gonna Make No Apologies For Working W/ Nicki Minaj" [Audio]


After multiple delays, Diddy's Last Train to Paris will once again be pushed back to a retail release this September.

Initially slated for a late June release after previous scheduling conflict-based push backs, Puff will now keep fans waiting closer to the fall.

'Hello Good Morning' couldn't help either. Diddy announed on Scott Mills BBC show that the album will now arrive on September 20th. If you remember, the album was originally planned to release last September.

Producer/Ghostwriter Rico Love recently said Puff's upcoming album would be a classic.

"If he comes out and the record is not good, then y'all are gonna trash him but with the fact that he went in and he said 'I'm gonna take my time until I'm happy with what I'm delivering to the people,' I really take my hat off to Puff, I take my hat off to the whole Dirty Money crew -- it's tough for an artist to deal with that type of pressure," Love said in an interview. "I think it's gonna be one of the best albums to come out, and I'm really gonna say this, it's gonna be one of the best albums to come out in the past five, six years. It's gonna be mentioned with 808's & Heartbreak and College Dropout, Blueprint III, like those types of albums I really feel like, 'Dangerously in Love,' I think that Last Train to Paris album has the possibility to be that big."

Diddy ghostwriter Mista Raja recently talked with SOHH and shared his thoughts on the upcoming record.

"Well it is experimental, I would lean more toward 808's & Heartbreak than Jay's Blueprint III," Raja added. "Like from what I heard of the album, I didn't love everything but he's got a solid eight that I could see myself bumping. You know, you can never count Diddy out. As a producer, he's one of the producers that I look up to and there's only a few producers -- you can't count it out but it is a solid album, it's up to the people to make it a classic. When it all comes back and all the conversations are there, that's when you're gonna know if you got a classic album or not but I definitely support it and respect it, shout-outs to Diddy."

Despite having singles like his T.I.-assisted "Hello, Good Morning," 50 Cent has taunted Diddy's new love-based songs.

His music sucks," 50 said in an interview. "It's bad. He's not an artist anyway, so it doesn't really matter. When you think about it, is he a rapper? Because he says he doesn't write rhymes, he writes checks. Like the same things that I would say are wrong with a Rick Ross project, it's not authenticity to what he's doing. Now he's a singer? I think that's Kanye West's part. Kanye's an artist, if he's making those artistic choices -- it's different. Puff is just buying a record and singing. Nobody's buying [Last Train to Paris.] He even said it himself that he doesn't expect it to sell, he doesn't care about the sales, he's just using it as a promotional tool..."

Bad Boy Records CEO Diddy has answered Lil Kim's recent disses toward him for aligning himself and supporting Young Money's Nicki Minaj.

Although he promises no love has been lost since Kim's rants, Puff did question his ex-associate's beef.

"I want to say I love Lil' Kim, man," Diddy said in an interview with BBC's Tim Westwood on Friday (June 11). "I'm sorry that she's mad. I never would have thought that by me working with another artist that she would take it the wrong way. But if she's taking it the wrong way it ain't meant like that. Nicki never did anything to her...She ain't trying to swagger-jack or say nothing negative about her. I just think that Kim needs to just understand that Nicki as a whole has always been respectful of her and Nicki's not trying to be her. I ain't gonna make no apologies for working with Nicki Minaj. [She is] somebody that's never said anything negative about Kim and just really has always, in my eyes, has paid homage to Kim. She's a different MC. They don't even talk about the same thing. If you're like a connoisseur of MCs and you a specialist -- like what Kim has talked about and what Nicki talks about -- they don't talk about the same things."

Kim has explained her main issues with Diddy but said she still views him as family.

"Puff is my brother, I can't disown him...he just called me after he called everybody else...brothers and sisters fight to the extreme....Puffy should be ashamed of himself, I want to spank him. When I came home from jail, there was nothing that he couldn't ask me to do...."

At a concert last week, Kim also called out Diddy during one of her raps.

Kim continued her anti-Nicki campaign at Sonar Nightclub in Baltimore last night and this time, she added her soon-to-be manager, Puff into the mix. Around the :27 mark of "It's All About The Benjamins" performance, the Queen Bee says "Ay, Puffy should be ashamed of his f*ckin' self!". Kim later brought out B-More's Keys The Problem to spit her Nicki diss freestyle. The saga continues.

Speaking in a radio interview with Kendra G, Kim said she felt Minaj had to pay homage to her.

"Here's my thing, all females that come in the game, we all need to stick together and I always try my best to embrace them but what happens is when you come into the game and realize that I'm not going away and my fans are still here and they can't just step over me. They can't just step on me and then they're kinda like, they get upset and then they don't want to be my friend anymore and I think that's really childish, you know what I'm saying? It's stupid because all I ask for is to be respected -- pay homage at the end of the day, a lot of things go on behind the scenes that people don't know about and it will be aired out. You can't hide the truth -- when I came out to do this promo tour, it was a reminder of where it came from because if you're gonna swagger jack somebody and take their style, at least pay the respect and the homage..."
