Sean 'Diddy' Combs, filmed a scene for "Hate Me Now" in which he and Nas were crucified. Combs subsequently felt uncomfortable with it due to his religious beliefs and asked that the shots featuring him to be edited out of the scene. A cut containing the crucifixion scene with Combs was accidentally delivered to MTV, and aired on Total Request Live (1998). Combs was furious and barged into the office of Nas' manager Steve Stoute later that afternoon and attacked him, at one point hitting him over the head with a champagne bottle. Stoute filed a lawsuit against Combs, which was later settled out of court.
