Sting previously said he 'put a couple of my kids through college' with the money Diddy pays him (via toofab)
Previously, the English rocker told Rolling Stone in 2003 that it was a fellow countryman that tipped him off to the sampling of his song.
"Elton John told me, 'You gotta hear ['I'll Be Missing You'], you're gonna be a millionaire!' I said, 'I am a millionaire!' He said, 'You're gonna be a millionaire twice over!' I put a couple of my kids through college with the proceeds, and me and P. Diddy are good pals still." Well, Sting has since become a millionaire hundreds of times over as it was reported last year he sold his entire music catalog to Universal Records for a reputed $300 million.
