JAKARTA - Sting recently talked about the iconic Police song, the iconic Every Breath You Take. This 1983 hit dominated the chart in its time, and was famously sampled by Diddy for its 1997 release, I'll Be Missing You.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Sting was asked if he believed the use of samples by Diddy had tarnished his original song. And apparently he had no problem with that, even though Diddy is now stumbling over a big scandal.

"No. Tell me, I don't know what happened [with Diddy]. But it didn't tarnish the song at all for me. It's still my song."

Diddy's recent legal problems, including allegations of sex trafficking, extortion, and transportation for prostitution, have tarnished his career.

Last year, his name was discussed after admitting to paying Sting a large daily fee for the sample. However, he later clarified that the statement was a joke.

Diddy was arrested in September and is still being held by the federal government, awaiting trial. His legal battle has caught significant media attention, and he faces a possible prison sentence of up to 15 years if found guilty.

Despite the controversy surrounding Diddy, Sting's unshakable trust in the eternal power of "Everyone Breath You Take" underscores the eternal appeal of the song.

This song is still an eternal work, and its legacy remains unaffected by legal issues involving its famous samples.
