 Longtime Bad Boy artist Black Rob recently spoke about his standing with Diddy`s renowned label, from behind bars.In an interview with XXLmag, the "Whoa" rap slinger debunked rumors claiming he was reportedly dropped from Diddy`s record company. "I haven`t heard from these dudes, they might`ve took me off the Bad Boy website or whatever but I haven`t heard from anyone telling me what the deal is. So until I get a piece of paper saying that I`m no longer a Bad Boy artist, I`m still reppin` that flag. I`m a team player man." MTV previously reported the Harlem-based emcee was serving time after being arrested in 2004 for theft. The rapper, whose real name is Robert Ross, was arrested at 11:45 a.m. at the On the Ave Hotel for entering and remaining in a hotel room, and removing jewelry from the room without authority, according to a police spokesperson. Ross`s accomplice, Damien Ashmeade, was arrested at 3:50 p.m. Shortly after the incident, Rob later confessed to the crime, according to Billboard. The rapper pleaded guilty to criminal possession of stolen property last November and was sentenced to 2 - 6 years in jail. Although he was free on bail, Ross never reported for sentencing in January and was eventually arrested in February in New Jersey. Rob`s rise to fame came on the heels of his smash 1999 hit "Whoa" and lacing vocals on numerous Bad Boy tracks including "Let`s Get It." However, Allmusic traces his roots back to the earlier times. Bad Boy rapper Black Rob began his recording career appearing on albums like the Cru`s Da Dirty 30 and collaborating with artists like L.O.X., Busta Rhymes, Lil` Kim, and Total before releasing his first album, Life Story, in early 2000. No information has yet been released on when Rob will be released from prison.
