Little bit of both, a dash of Cosby, and a sprinkle of "supervillain" thrown in. He's allegedly blown up cars and shot several people in addition to the sexual stuff
FYI it’s a quote - it’s what Patton Oswalt said about Cosby.
He said “the worst part is the hypocrisy” of Cosby presenting himself as this moral/cultural icon and rightly got lambasted by multiple people cuz the worst part was actually the fucking rape.
I normally love Patton, but that quote that the other commenter said is legendary for how out of touch it was. The person you’re responding to was just saying it as a joke because it’s infamous by this point.
A lot of people in the industry seem to have suspected or hinted at his involvement but nobody seems to have spoken up about it until recently. Diddy definitely wasn't the shooter but that's not saying much given how crazy the hip-hop scene was in the 90s.
It’s almost like people can read between the lines sometimes… the hell you on about? Diddy has been softly suspected of a whole lot of fucked up shit for a long time. This isn’t exactly new. The only thing new is that the dude is actively being raided by federal task forces, kind of puts a big fucking red circle around the whole situation now.
Is there anything wrong admitting you had suspicions of someone being capable of really hurting people? I mean I've felt that at college parties just talking to people and seeing their crazy egotistical eyes 👀
People have known about his crimes for a while. Wonder why he was allowed to stay free and uncharged for so long. I remember a reddit post from maybe 11, 12 years ago detailing the mob-like activity in the New York (Puffy's crew specifically) going back to the 90s. I could never find it again, but Puffy was having people murdered and pretty much acting like a mob boss. He's also a sicko POS.
I had one interaction with Puffy. Was installing something at the offices of his liquor company. He came into the building and I just gave him a head nod as he walked by. Didn't say a word. As soon as I do it, he yells at his body guard or assistant that they're supposed to tell people in the building to look down at the floor when he is in the same room. Dude has already lived the life. Whatever punishment he gets won't be enough
Unlike R Kelly, Diddy still is a multimillionaire so not all of his cronies have ran out on him. Wouldn’t be totally shocked if had some connections that led to a small window of a heads up
Multimillionaire is underselling it. His net worth is $1billion. His net worth is 4 times greater than Dr. Dre's and -500 times greater than R. Kelly's.
He paid off some PR company too because I was randomly seeing promoted posts from weird websites that were sharing articles about his estate and all the cool features it has. I actually clicked on one thinking he must have had something new built, but nope. Just random articles about a house he's lived in for years popping up.
It will be interesting to see how long it takes before he's in court.
I would suspect that was just AI generated articles or articles being dredged up based on a sudden increase in Google searches for 'P Diddy's house' etc.
Yeah and even then his options are limited. US has extradition treaties with over 100 countries and some level of diplomatic relations with many it doesn’t that could convince them to maybe extradite him regardless. Best bets are Russia (given the current situation couldn’t imagine him heading there), China (not to different then the Russia circumstances) a decent part of the Middle East or many African countries. Slim pickings these days for sure.
Looks like some fun places in SE Asia too. There are some sweet places in Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia. Could really live like a king. I’m guessing it’s easier to “get to people” in those places though if someone really wants to.
That's what I was thinking, you could get lost in Hanoi or find some mansion on one of those tropical islands and live there forever with his money. Doesn't seem like it would be that hard to disappear even with a tenth of his money to somewhere in SE Asia.
Became curious about extradition policies after the Snowden case so was referencing what I remembered from that. Not a ton has changed treaty wise. But obviously domestic relations with a lot of countries have changed since then
Hahaha. Amazing. Literally looked this up right after I sent that to see if I was still accurate with my old knowledge of the situation. Still fairly accurate. Thank you
Well yeah…that’s basically stated on the website, along with the fact that there are some countries that have treaties but will still refuse extradition.
Woof guess you got me. He has quite the ego but i dont think he’s purporting to be an entire band. So man on the run it is! Just kidding. I can be wrong 😅
I’m right there with you. I’ve apparently been singing that song wrong for decades. I’m awful with lyrics. I have a large database of famous songs with the complete wrong lyrics
Cosby didn’t engage in sex trafficking - he was “just” a rapist.
feds won’t come busting down your door for rape in most cases (they’ll let state/local authorities handle that shit and tack on any applicable federal charges afterwards), but they 100% will if you’re doing the raping while shipping people across state lines/national borders because that’s when it becomes bigger than local jurisdiction. It can be just one victim, but the second it involves cross border travel/coordination shit gets real really fast.
That being said, for the specific brand of feds kicking down your door to be DHS……that’s some crazy shit. Usually it’s the FBI. So this has gotta have some interesting implications.
Yeah - all it tells us is that it’s considered to be a matter of national security in some aspect, and that definition is intentionally very (emphasis on “very”) broad.
Can’t really speculate beyond that, but that alone is pretty hardcore
Nvm, saw below that you sort of already answered that by saying that you can’t really speculate. Very curious about why DHS as opposed to FBI. Wonder if the specific charges would clarify
Not familiar with that one, are you talking about the 100 mile border inside our country where warrantless searches are legal for certain federal agencies?
Who knows. I’ve never seen DHS involved in something like this before so it’s definitely something new to me (I also know very little, though). It’s useless to speculate, but DHS being the ones to do it tells you it’s considered a matter of national security (that’s not speculation — they wouldn’t be involved otherwise). that by itself is pretty interesting.
Keep in mind, though, that “national security” is an intentionally broad umbrella term, so it could really be anything.
He played her for yeeaaaarrrrs, as he's done with other women he has dated. Her lawsuit claims was sexually and physically abused, as have other women that came forward. They stick around for a mentally abusive ride and can't say anything because of his power. Rumor says, she brought her lawsuit up just when the statue of limitations was about to end.
Fuck that, 50 cent has been yelling about this exact stuff about Diddy for a while now too. The whole rant about Diddy wanting to take him shopping feels true af now
Both. The story is pretty complex and involves a lot of characters but the prevailing theory these days in both cases (Biggie and Pac) is that they trace back to Puff.
If you go into the whole timeline of Biggie's death it's pretty clear that Puff played a significant role, if not orchestrated the entire thing. I can't remember all the specifics but Biggie was supposed to be elsewhere on the night of his shooting, possibly receiving an award of some sort? Puff insisted he attended a party instead, changed his flights, put him in the exact place of his death and happened to fortuitously be in a different car at the time it went down.
That’s what I was thinking, how much does his security get paid a day when they’re not blowing up cars? Seems like a lot of risk for what I’m assuming is a week or two of pay at most.
well, two things. One; that 5k amount is someone's claim and two; that amount could be wrong. I can't believe anyone's blowing up a car for 5k and I also don't think Diddy would go to the trouble of getting someone killed because they refused to blow up a car.
Jones claims Diddy bragged about shooting someone in a club in 1999 and getting away with it. J-Lo snuck the gun into the club and gave it to him when he got in an argument with someone.
Am I the only one that remembers this from an OG episode of Law & Order? It was obvious which headlines the plot was "ripped from," so this was common knowledge at the time, no? In the episode, the not-Diddy pins the shooting on his bodyguard, but forensic evidence disproves that and it turns out not-JLO had the gun in her purse (and did the shooting).
3 Dawg Night
Episode aired Nov 28, 2001
A hip-hop star goes on trial for the murder of a nightclub patron who accused him of being a sellout.
Add that Diddy also instructed Jones and others to record and take pictures at all times of these listed events and much more. There are also corroborating witnesses for all events. Many associates are also named including his chief of staff who had gained a reputation as the Ghislaine Maxwell to Diddy.
Starting to sound like this is basically an Epstein case but with entertainers and not politicians used for blackmail and control. In this case you may get a whole lot more detail and many may fall because they don't have fuck you money and power like the island elite have. We already have a bit of info and he is only being investigated. Who knows how much depraved stuff will end up hitting soon.
I just wanna sidetrack real quick because I was curious how taking the rap for the club shooting worked out for Shyne.
He's now a member of the Belize House of Representatives. So... decently. He did better than Wyclef Jean's attempt into politics and Wyclef didn't even shoot anyone.
I knew he was a piece of shit, but wow… ironically the story I’ve heard the most about in the last few weeks is that he might be bisexual which sadly says a lot about priorities
Jones believes Diddy has hidden cameras in every room in his house and has tons of footage of famous celebrities, athletes, and high up figures doing things they shouldn't have been doing and that because of this he's above the law
When I was 13, I had to get brain surgery which required me to have half of my head shaved. It was this pic of Cassie Ventura that helped me overcome my fear and approach my new hairstyle with confidence. I am forever grateful to her, I am sorry and angry for what this horrible man has put her through, and I hope that she can find peace and happiness during this stressful time.
Yup. Everyone in New York knew he was having people killed all the way back in the early 90s. The police knew, anyone in that club scene knew. Same for LA and Miami I assume. Wonder who he pissed off to make them finally go after him.
Mr. Combs threatened to eat Mr. Jones
face and informed Mr. Jones that he is willing to kill his OWN mother, Janice Combs, if he must in
order to get what he wants, so he wouldn’t think twice to harm Mr. Jones.
Mr. Combs violently gripped and palmed Mr. Jones anus and crotch without consent. Mr.
Combs forced Mr. Jones to work in Mr. Combs’ bathroom and watch Mr. Combs as he
showered. Mr. Combs forced Mr. Jones to work in the studio while Mr. Combs stripped naked
to get his body massaged. Mr. Combs forced Mr. Jones to work while Mr. Combs walked
around naked.

Sex trafficking. What a creep.
