“I want y’all to understand I was joking! It’s called being Facetious,” the musician tweeted on Friday (April 7).
“Me and [Sting] have been friends for a long time! He never charged me $3K or $5K a day for Missing You. He probably makes more than $5K a day from one of the biggest songs in history,” he continued.
If you were unaware, Sting has previously said that he was getting $2,000 a day from Diddy for the sample, which was cleared after “I’ll Be Missing You” was already released.
No matter what he is paying for the sample, it’s a safe bet that Diddy can afford it. You might be surprised by how much money he made in 2022.

Jenelle Riley Deputy Awards and Features Editor SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers for Season 3, Episode 6 of “Ted Lasso,” now streaming on Apple TV+. Shortly before Billy Harris landed the role of footballer Colin Hughes on the Apple TV+ smash “Ted Lasso,” he found himself without an agent.

Harris had only recently graduated from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, and the show marked his television debut. Though little was known about in the first season, the actor relished the opportunity to learn the ropes from what he calls “the best of the best.”

Diddy last week clarified in a tweet that he was now paying Sting “5k a day”.Both that remark, and the 2018 interview, implied that Diddy was actually sending Sting daily cheques, which obviously isn’t the case. It’s just that whenever ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ is played, the song royalties that are due are collected by Sting and his publisher Universal.But maybe Diddy has insider knowledge on how much that nets Sting and Universal? And maybe with the streaming boom the song royalties generated by ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ are now topping five grand a day.

It’s called being Facetious! Me and @OfficialSting have been friends for a long time! He never charged me $3K or $5K a day for Missing You.

With every breath Diddy takes, he’s sending out some serious cash Sting‘s way!!
costing Diddy big time. For sampling Sting’s 1983 “Every Breath You Take” track on 1997 Biggie Smalls tribute “I’ll Be Missing You,” music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is said to be forever indebted to the rock star — to the tune of $5,000 a day. “5k a day. Love to my brother [Sting],” tweeted Diddy, 53, in part, Wednesday, seemingly confirming his eternal obligation to the Police frontman. Neither representatives for Diddy nor Sting immediately responded to The Post’s request for a comment. But in his Twitter admission, Diddy, a native New Yorker, reposted a clip that featured Sting, 71, discussing the perpetual payment during a 2018 appearance on Power 105.1 FM’s “The Breakfast Club.”The tweet, which amassed more than 7.6 million views, came as a correction to Sting telling the morning show host Charlamagne Tha God that Diddy had to pay him $2,000 a day for co-opting his Grammy-winning hit.

A very costly mistake. Diddy revealed that he’s still paying Sting for sampling his song in the ‘90s without getting permission first.
Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor Diddy says he’s paying Sting $5,000 per day for sampling the Police frontman’s 1983 blockbuster hit “Every Breath You Take” on his own 1997 song “I’ll Be Missing You.” Diddy tweeted Wednesday in response to a resurfaced video clips from a 2018 interview Sting did with the Breakfast Club. As noted by the Shade Room, the clips shows interviewer Charlamagne Tha God asking Sting to confirm whether Diddy pays him $2,000 daily for sampling the song on “I’ll Be Missing You.” Sting says yes, “for the rest of his life,” to laughter, and then confirms that Diddy asked for permission to sample the hit after his own song was released.
Even after the lawsuits, it’s all love between Diddy and Sting.
