Diddy may be a successful music producer and mogul, but not everyone agrees that really knows his stuff when it comes to music. Quincy Jones, the legendary music producer who has worked with the likes of Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra and Steven Spielberg, thinks that Diddy is a genius when it comes to marketing, but not so much with music.

"[He] couldn't recognize a B-flat if it hit him. P. Diddy has a doctorate in marketing," Jones said to XXL Mag. "He's got clothes companies and Ciroc Vodka."

However, Jones later clarified that he didn't mean the remark as a diss.

"No controversy, no diss," Jones said on Facebook. "I have nothing but love and respect for Diddy and all that he has achieved as an artist and an executive. Always have and always will."
