Diddy Says ‘Young Gun’ Drake Gave Him Valuable Advice
Toronto MC ‘went above and beyond,’ Diddy says of MC jumping on Diddy-Dirty Money track ‘Loving You No More.’

According to Diddy, he had a specific plan when he mapped out Last Train to Paris.

“I wanted to be smart enough to go to the newest generation, the flyest, young gun of MCs and writers and humbly ask them for help,” he told MTV News. “To be honest, a lot of cats were busy. I can respect that. But Drake took the time to stop what he was doing and he was the hottest one in the game. He came to my house for two days, we went to Canada for three days.”

The result was “Loving You No More,” the latest single from Diddy’s Dirty Money project, Last Train. Diddy and Drake shot the video in Miami with Gil Green, and the Bad Boy Records head explained that “Loving You No More” is about losing yourself by trying to please someone else.

“[The video] is really about me being in a relationship with a young lady and you’re constantly loving this person,” he said. “And hoping that this day comes where they change and they love you back.”

The long-delayed Last Train to Paris is set for a December 14 release and Diddy credits Drake, among others, with helping to push the project along.

“[Drake] gave me advice for records when I needed somebody else, a fresh ear and he went above and beyond,” Diddy said. “I appreciate him for that. This is a big record for us because of that and because of the way he treated me and we didn’t really know each other. He treated me with so much respect, so much love. And he’s one of my favorite MCs, period, so working with him was dope.”
