Jay-Z nor Diddy discovered me - Mark Ronson

Wednesday, 2 July 2008

Uber-cool music producer Mark Ronson has waded into the disagreement between rappers P Diddy and Jay-Z about who discovered him.

He remarkably says that NEITHER of the hip-hop stars had an influence on his rise into successful Brit winning musician.

Both rappers were adamant that it was thay who first spotted his talents and turned the former nightclub DJ into the star he is today.

Instead, Ronson credits... his mum!

He told the BBC: "My mum discovered me."

"(I'm) flattered (but) neither of them discovered me.

"They used to come to all the nightclubs in New York where I would play when I was starting off as a hip-hop DJ.

"They definitely took me under their wing at points.
