Sting previously told Rolling Stone that he put his kids through college simply from the proceeds of Sean Comb's sample on "I'll Be Missing You"

Despite the allegations against Diddy, "Every Breath You Take" remains untainted. "It's still my song," Sting said of the Police track, which Diddy famously sampled in his 1997 song 'I'll Be Missing You.

Combs released “I’ll Be Missing You” 14 years later as a tribute to the Notorious BIG, who was murdered in a drive-by shooting on 9 March 1997. He also interpolated the chorus, which was sung by Biggie’s wife Evans.
