The rapper-turned-pastor-turned-rapper stormed the airwaves with a smile on his face and paperwork in hand that would grant him his contractual freedom.

Rolling with Shuudup.com, the rapper looked like a happy kid on Christmas as he commented on how long he's been waiting for his opportunity. "It took me 10 years to get this paperwork,” Mase told Kim of shuddup.com. “I had to put this in UPS, I don't want to have nothing spill on it. I don't even know what I'm gonna put out now.”

Feelings aside, Diddy spoke on the situation, trying to clear the air and let positivity shine on the day's breakthrough. "People have felt like with our situation, I may have stopped him,” Diddy offered. “He can do whatever he wanna do. If you want those Mase verses, you can go get your hustle on right now. You know he got a slick tongue, though. He's a mean negotiator so you better come with that guap."

Mase doesn’t mark the first time Diddy released an artist from his label. Following the “let the Lox go” campaign in the late ‘90s, the Puffster let the Yonkers trio out of their contract. He initially held on to their publishing until he relinquished his rights a few years ago. He also let Shyne walk shortly after his conviction.

According to a spokesperson for Hype Williams, the video’s director, the visual was shot last week in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.  The rep did not disclose  further details.

"Everything on the set was being kept very hush-hush and security was extremely tight," an insider told Life and Style Magazine. "Beyonce wears a feathered dress. And, of course, Lady Gaga wears something wild. The fashion is sick and insane.”

Sources believe that Gaga will add additional vocal work to the track, but Beyoncé and Gaga have yet to publicly speak on the matter.

In an interview with "Access Hollywood," LaToya says that Michael "wasn't giving it his all," in the footage because it was a rehearsal. With that in mind, sister LaToya believes that Michael wouldn't want people to see the performances.

"He loves to give his all always. That's just the way he is," Jackson said. "He wants people to see him at the top of the ladder and not half-stepping because he doesn't want to do a full-out rehearsal.”

Despite her qualms with the impending documentary, LaToya says she'll stand by the film.

"I will support my brother in any way I can... I love him," she said.

"This Is It" will be in theaters October 28.

Duncan, who claims he was assaulted with champagne bottles and sucker punched by Busta and his security detail, told authorities that he not only experienced nightmares from the confrontation, but suffered from psychological after-effects due to the incident.

Though Duncan’s lawyer, Ronald Hart, originally requested a $500,000 settlement, Duncan was only rewarded $75,000. “It's all right,” Duncan told the New York Post of the victory. “I wanted something to come out of it. I don't even go to parties anymore, because there's always someone asking, 'What happened to that Busta Rhymes case?'"

Rhymes and his attorney Robert Kalina did not attend the trial and yesterday’s damages hearing.

Busta Rhymes is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on his ninth solo project, The Chemo, which is scheduled for a 2010 release via Flipmode/Universal Motown.

“He’s in a good place [right now],” he stated, assuring that the label has no animosity toward MTV.“At the end of the day, MTV has been a great outlet for G.O.O.D. Music as a company. Regardless of whatever [else] goes on, there's a great respect there, a great admiration for what the outlet is.”

Posting comments about Fif's ThisIs50 Festival via Twitter, he mentioned that the show had him puzzled, saying, "It's interesting to see 50 Cent unite with NY artists when he's one of the reasons NY hip-hop became so isolated & crumbled... Do you agree NY??"

Never one to bite his tongue, the G-Unit general addressed Fab's comments. He took to his own blog to let the world know what he thought about the man he assumed was his friend.

"Reading what Fab said about me on Twitter was disappointing,” Fif wrote on his blog. “I have extended myself to Fab personally to allow him to expand himself as an international touring artist. I thought we were friends but that's cool.”

It doesn't stop there. But rather than jab back, Fif made a point to quote a law from his New York Times best-selling book, "The 50th Law."

"Law #2: Never put too much trust in friends, learn how to use enemies. Be wary of friends - they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them."

The ThisIs50 Fest featured appearances from Jadakiss, Styles P and Sheek Louch, with whom the Queens mogul started beef on “Piggy Bank” from 2005's "The Massacre." The two parties have since squashed their differences. Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Maino, Wale, 50 Cent and G-Unit also performed at the concert.
