Aubrey O’Day had a few choice words about her former boss, Diddy, while on “The Masked Singer” stage … but some people connected to him want to remind Aubrey — don’t bite the hand that fed you.

A source close to Diddy, with direct knowledge of the O’Day situation, tells TMZ it’s all thanks to Diddy she had the incredible opportunity when he cast her on MTV’s “Making the Band” as a member of Danity Kane nearly 20 years ago.

The source also reminded us, Diddy is only detained and hasn’t even gone to trial yet to present a defense — so none of Aubrey’s claims hold up, at least not yet.

Aubrey referenced him again in her reveal, calling out how her “ex-boss” legally changed his middle name to “Love” a few years back. But she made a point to make a heart shape with her hands to reclaim the word “love” right then and there.

Conan O’Brien‘s joke writer wants everyone who missed the comedic timing of his Oscars bit about Kendrick Lamar and Drake‘s beef to just say that — there was no malice on the host’s part!!!

Skyler Higley, who penned the part about needing to “call Drake a pedophile” after the commercial break, tells TMZ Hip Hop … “The idea that it’s being taken as a real call-out or taking sides in any way in the beef is absurd.”

Social media immediately started buzzing with accusations Conan joined the Drake hate train in favor of Kendrick Lamar … but Higley’s been writing jokes for Conan since his late-night TV show days and says he knows a master at work when he sees one.

He says the joke was simply a reference to Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance and a cultural moment of the past year.

DJ Akademiks didn’t take it that way and he’s currently trying to paint Conan as Drake enemy number 1 to his audience.
