‘There is too much catching up to do,’ he tells XXL of his rivals. By Jayson Rodriguez Diddy Photo: Statia Photography/ Getty Images Does Diddy really need to keep saying it at this point? He told people back in ’97 when his first album dropped: He won’t stop. Now that he’s set to drop his fifth album, the Diddy-Dirty Money set Last Train to Paris, the Bad Boy Records impresario has a slew of new projects on his plate, including overseeing the careers of Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj. In the June issue of XXL, Diddy reveals in the cover story that his track record isn’t a career retrospective but evidence he’s still one of the top hip-hop moguls in the game. “I was the first on the jet. I was the first running the marathon. I was the first donating millions of dollars. I was the first,” Diddy told the magazine. “I was the first with the 10 million records sold. I was the first with the label. I was the first with the renegotiations. F— a Forbes list. I was on the cover of Forbes. “There is going to be someone that will pass me, but as long as I’m on the court, they are not going to be badder than me, because there is too much catching up to do,” he continued. “There is not one mutha—-er that’s here now who is going to outwork me. That is not going to happen, not right now. Maybe if I slow down, but to this day, no one can f— with me when it comes to getting busy and working.” Last week, Diddy premiered a clip for “Hello, Good Morning,” the third video from his long-in-the-works Last Train to Paris , online. Next, he’ll appear on Bravo’s “Inside the Actor’s Studio” on May 25, and he’s gearing up for the releases of his album (his first through his new deal with Interscope Records) and “Get Him to the Greek,” which he co-stars in with Russell Brand and Jonah Hill.
