It took Puff Daddy one year to sign a decent artist. That artist was the Notorious B.I.G and artists such as Faith Evans and The Group 112 were soon to follow. However sadness followed in 1997 with the death of The Notorious B.I.G. This was the year Puff Daddy would zoom to the top of the charts with a moving tribute to The Notorious B.I.G “I’ll Be Missing You” a cover of the Police's 80’s hit “I’ll Be Watching You”. Puff Daddy’s cover version spent a matter of 25 weeks at number one. Puff Daddy has since released three albums back to back. However with fame there is trouble and with Puff Daddy the law is always involved. In 1999 Puff Daddy was arrested on gun charges, but was acquitted in 2000. Also in 1999 Puff Daddy was in court again following a brawl concerning Puff Daddy and Interscope chief executive Steve Stoute, but he was only sentenced that one day in court and anger management guidance.
