It was down to me, Quincy (Combs) & Yazz actually & then Quincy dropped out and it was down to me & Yazz. At the time they were telling me, “I got it. it’s yours, you’re the guy”. So I start looking for places in Chicago. I was signing on my lease and everything & I was having meetings with networks. It got to the point where I was turning down offers from other shows because I thought I was gonna be on it. I turned down a couple of things. Like Star wars
He also revealed that Quincy combs ( Diddy's son) later dropped out leaving him and Yazz to the running. But reports making round at the time of the casting suggests that Diddy refused to allow his son star on the show because they were going to make him sign his music rights to them.
