Diddy now pays Sting $5,000 daily for the unauthorized sampling of The Police's 1983 hit Every Breath You Take on his 1997 Biggie Smalls tribute, I'll Be Missing You. Diddy clarified this updated fee on Twitter on Wednesday, after Sting previously stated in a 2018 interview on The Breakfast Club he received $2,000 every day for the sample use. Despite the additional amount, Diddy expressed love and respect for Sting in a tweet. “Nope. 5K a day,” Diddy wrote, retweeting Sting's 2018 chat. “Love to my brother @OfficialSting.” According to Sting, Diddy only sought permission after the release of I'll Be Missing You.
