Hey, did you ever wonder what went down with that kid Jerome, the one who used to be with Diddy as a recording artist? Seems like if you roll with Diddy, your chances of making it out alive or making it at all are pretty slim. Just look at the other artists he’s messed with in the recording biz.

So, like, way back when, Bad Boy Records dropped their first album, Notorious B.I.G.’s “Ready to Die,” and it was a massive hit. That put them on the map. Around that time, they signed Lil Jerome, this R&B kid from Akron, Ohio. He dropped his first single, “Too Old for Me,” which also happened to be the lead single for Bad Boy’s Greatest Hits Volume 1.

They even remixed the song a couple of times, throwing in an R&B version and a shorty and Nori Remix featuring the rapper N.O.R.E. with Diddy doing the ad-libs. Lil Jerome also showed up on the Belly soundtrack with a remake of Stevie Wonder’s “I Never Dreamed You’d Leave in Summer.”

Jerome was part of Bad Boy for only a short while only making one released track which appeared on Bad Boy Greatest Hits Volume 1. His single was a decent track with the production master of Mario Winans behind it and providing the hook.

The song was remixed with Heavy D yet Jerome went on to release little else. He brought promise to the game for young kids and this idea has now been capitalized by Master P with Lil’ Romeo and Jermaine Dupri with Lil’ Bow wow who have both gone on to become big hits; yet again P. Diddy set a new trend which the industry followed.

He left for unknown reasons but rumors circulated begun by Ma$e’s book that he masturbated at a photo shoot of some kind.
