Mase talks about how he tried to call attention to what was happening with Diddy, how it didn’t help and how he ultimately had to remove himself from that situation. “On April 20, 1999, during an interview with Funkmaster Flex on New York radio station Hot 97, Mase announced his retirement from music to pursue a "calling from God". He claimed he was "leading people, friends, kids and others down a path to hell", stating that he left to find God in his heart and follow him.”
