Hip Hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs said there would be no dealings with the short-form music video app, Triller, until they pay Swizz Beatz and Timbaland what they are owed.

The 52-year-old took to his Instagram and clarified that he mistakenly mentioned Verzuz when discussing his “hit for hit” battle with Jermaine Dupri.

Timbaland and Swizz Beatz filed a $28 million lawsuit against Triller, alleging that the company failed to pay the duo earlier this year after acquiring the rights to Verzuz.

According to the suit, the company agreed to pay $18 million, $9 million each, by March. 20, and an additional one million per month for the following ten months.

There have been no payments from Triller.

In light of the lawsuit, Diddy and Dupri have agreed to go head-to-head in a “hit for hit” battle. However, according to Diddy, they will be a little spin to the battle, a “Bad Boy, So So Def in Atlanta” event, instead.
