Diddy is currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn awaiting his trial, which is scheduled to begin in May.

It's no secret that Mase has his fair share of issues with Diddy, but now, it looks like he's prepared to take his animosity to a new level. During a recent episode of It Is What It Is, he discussed his upcoming album, and was asked exactly when fans can expect to hear it. "When the music coming out? May 25, the first day of the Diddy trial we're dropping," he said.

It's worth noting that the trial is scheduled to begin on May 5, per multiple outlets. The Bad Boy founder was arrested in September of last year on charges related to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. He's currently behind bars in Brooklyn, and just yesterday, he was hit with a superseding indictment. In it, he is accused of coercing his employees into demanding work schedules using threats of physical, financial, psychological, and reputational harm. Allegedly, he also sexually abused one employee.

Diddy's attorney Marc Agnifilo has since denied these allegations on his behalf in a statement. "Mr. Combs has said it before and will say it again: he vehemently denies the accusations made by federal prosecutors," it reads. "He looks forward to his day in court when it will become clear that he has never forced anyone to engage in sexual acts against their will.”​ As for how Mase feels about the mogul's legal woes, he hasn't been as vocal about them as one might expect. He has dropped a few hints here and there, however.

When the Bad Boy founder's homes were raided in March of last year, for example, he and Cam'ron reacted on It Is What It Is. “Reparations is getting closer and closer," he said at the time. Mase and Diddy have each accused the other of owing them money. When footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie in 2016 surfaced, he said he was saving his thoughts for a documentary. "I’m saving my takes for the documentary. If y’all wondering how I feel, it’s coming soon, pause," he declared.
