Getting with Diddy was the gift and curse for this fukkboy. On one hand he had an "in" in the business but on the flipside, Puff stole his bytch and turned her into an imperial illuminati sex slave.
Ryan refused to take that L and just Produce. He wanted to sing, whine and bytch on songs about his bytch getting knocked when he coulda been selling those same songs to Usher/Trey Songz/Chris Brown and hopefully one day got a Beyoncé or Rihanna placement (which would did wonders for his career)
Now the dude is on this rap shyt and it just doesn't work. At all. This producer-turned-artist shyt works for only a handful of people (Pharrell, Dream [sorta] and NEYO) but them dudes still can fall back on getting placements on A lister albums.
And he's getting

too. Dude gave this Dame Dash smart/dumb nikka vibe in that Ebro interview.
