The song became a global phenomenon, spending on the Billboard Hot 100 and winning a Grammy for Best Rap Performance. The $2,000-a-Day Legal Twist
The 1997 chart-topping hit is often mistakenly referred to as a Sting remix, but it is actually a tribute track by Puff Daddy (Sean "Diddy" Combs) and Faith Evans that heavily samples The Police's 1983 classic, "Every Breath You Take" .
In 2023, Diddy jokingly claimed on social media that the figure was actually closer to $5,000 a day , though he later clarified he was being facetious and that they remain "good friends".
Sting has famously stated in interviews that he earns roughly $2,000 every day from the song.
