Unless you have been living under a rock, you are well aware that Puff Daddy or Sean Combs, aka Diddy, has been taken into police custody in New York after lengthy and extensive investigations. Although it is still too early to say who did what, and how much lube (LOL) was used, we can certainly make the argument that Puff Daddy aka Diddy did not operate in a vacuum.
No form of illegal activity involving human trafficking forced prostitution, and other disgusting charges can be carried out without “assistance” from willing and unwilling participants with that being said, we should acknowledge how legendary rapper 50 Cent had warned us about Diddy’s antics many years ago and repeatedly.
Earlier this year, Diddy’s properties were raided and 50 Cent pointed out that law enforcement does not do all that unless they have very probable cause/reasons to do so. More than likely, Diddy will join the likes of Suge Knight, R Kelly and other troubled Black entertainers who are now behind bars for very good reasons. Even though it is very early in the ongoing probe, and court proceedings are far from getting hot and heated as they surely will, we can be sure that Diddy is NOT going down alone.
Just like many will snitch on Diddy, there should be many other abusers and predators who will be identified in the coming months and years. But the question we need to ask is, How did all this go on for so long without anything really being done until now? As most hip hop fans would know, Diddy began rising to the top with the help of the late Notorious BIG, 112, and other awesome artists in the 1990’s. Diddy was so famous and influential that he even got with Jennifer Lopez. But back then, it seemed as if very few people actually realized what Puff Daddy would end up doing.
Heck, Diddy was doing cool videos with the likes of Mariah Carey and he was dating hot women like Cassie Ventura later on in his career. Clearly, Diddy has a lot of influence, wealth, fame, and power but the law is nothing to mess with. It will bring down some of the most powerful like Jeffery Epstein who committed suicide because he was too much of a coward to face the music. Now what is really interesting about this Diddy case is that even more influential people like JayZ and Beyonce could also be caught up in this.
At present, there is not much to go off of, but anyone who follows hip hop has seen plenty of pictures of Diddy and Jayz hanging out over the years. You must be very careful about the company you keep. You could almost be guilty by association or being in the wrong place at the wrong time! Even people like Usher and Justin Bieber are not going to be spared. The fallout from this Diddy issue is going to be unprecedented and monstrous. But does this mean Hip hop and rap are actually bad? Are they to blame? Of course not.
Like Method Man has said, there is no real correlation or connection between disgusting things that Diddy did and what true hip hop is about. Thankfully, we can be sure that there are plenty of genuine and good artists out there like Lauryn Hill and Eminem who are not actually caught up in this crap. Long live Hip hop but it will be very interesting to see just how many people actually go down along with Diddy. A probe of this magnitude is truly unprecedented and many people will be brought to justice. Thank the Lord for that!
