An 11-year-old rapper has spoken out about his time with Diddy at Bad Boy Records, shedding light on the challenges he faced.
If you’ve ever wondered what happened to Jerome, the young recording artist who was associated with Diddy, the details of his experience may astonish you. It appears that artists under Diddy’s guidance often struggle to succeed or even survive in the music industry, as evidenced by the fate of other artists connected with him.
During the early days of Bad Boy Records, the release of their debut album, “Ready to Die,” by the Notorious B.I.G., propelled the label to stardom. It was around this time that they signed Lil Jerome, an R&B artist from Akron, Ohio. His first single, “Too Old for Me,” served as the lead track for Bad Boy’s Greatest Hits Volume 1.
Furthermore, the song underwent several remixes, including an R&B version and a remix featuring the rapper N.O.R.E., with Diddy contributing ad-libs. Lil Jerome also contributed to the Belly soundtrack with a rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “I Never Dreamed You’d Leave in Summer.”
