The Tin Man has a heart everybody. King Diddy has squashed the publishing beef with The Lox. After a few rounds of "Let the Lox Go" and some public airing of dirty laundry on Hot 97, Diddy decided his hustle is going too well to continue squeezing the life out of the Lox.

You remember how it played out. First, the Lox was screaming on Diddy over the Hot 97 airways because he still getting a kickback off their royalties. Diddy screamed right back and told them to learn how to handle their business. Everybody lost cool points, these clowns arguing over the radio.

Here's the Lox on Diddy: Imagine working for years working for years, hard work and somebody that has nothing to do with that is getting the bulk of it. You'd be totally, utterly frustrated. And, you tryin' to get around it for years and you call about it with lawyers, but Diddy's too powerful. When you see Diddy in the club, lean on him.

Definitely not a good look. If you missed the buffoonery, you can hear it here.

So after that foolishness, Diddy came up to Hot 97 to properly present his case to the people. You know Diddy ain't trying to look like the bad guy. So he aired the Lox out over the Hot 97 airways and it wasn't pretty.

Here's Diddy on the Lox: It's tragic and it's embarrassing that they don't even know the 101's of the industry. They claiming slavery over $1.5 million (which is what he says that they earned at Bad Boy.) That ain't slavery. I want them to talk to me face-to-face, stop looking like imbeciles in front of everybody. Manage your life, sit at home by yourself and read your contract word for word. There are books that I have for them [like] Publishing 101.

If you missed the buffoonery part II, you can hear it here.

After the smoke cleared, nobody was happy until yesterday (Dec. 9). Apparently they had a meeting of the minds and both sides decided to make nice. Lawyers from both parties got together and figured everything out in 45-minutes. I'm tired of talking about it, so you can read about the "happy ending" here.

Check out what time it was when I made this post: I'm up at 6am in the morning bumping videos and blogging on Blastro. What were you doing?
