Bruh lmao yall be so extra

Yeah p much agree. The only saving grace is that Diddy has not shown much musical value in the last like 20ish years. Its not like people need him and would be forced/feel its necessary to cross that line to work with him.

You know the sun don’t shine forever
But as long as it’s here then we might as well shine together
BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE
P diddy and the fam who you know do it better?
YEAH RIGHT
No matter what we airtight
So if you hearing something… make sure you hear it right
Don’t make an ass out of yourself by assuming
My music keeps you moving!
What are you proving?
You know that I’m… two levels above you baby
Hug me baby
Ima make you love me baby
Talking crazy ain’t gonna get you nothing but choked
And that jealousy only gonna leave you broke
So the only thing left now is GOD for these cats
BIG you know you too hard for these cats
I’ma win cause I’m too smart for these cats
While they making up facts
You racking up plats

IN THE COMISSION YOU ASK FOR PERMISSION TO HIS EM
HE DONT LIKE ME HIT EM WHILE WIFEY WAS WITH HIM
YOU KNOW YOU HEARD OF US
THE MURDEROUS MOST SHADY
BEEN ON THE LOW LATELY
THE FEDS HATE ME
THE SON OF S—-N
THEY SAY MY KILLING IS TOO BLATANT

I would be fearful of that too tbh because while they won't 'need' him, he's still an icon, still Diddy, and as silly as this sounds, Diddy being locked up has already turned into some 'rallying cry' for Black men, black women, and hip-hop as a whole. The whole idea of the system trying to take one of ours down.

There will be some momentum behind puff when he gets out of prison, and while again, they surely won't 'need' puff daddy, but its a moment to stand in solidarity with a black icon who was 'wrongly convicted for being freaky'

No troll it's despicable but I can see the play from a mile away.

Hip-Hop and entertainment as a whole doesn't take domestic violence serious AT ALL.

That wasn't even true right?

Hope the time he serves will be hell for him cus once he gets out he's definitely rebranding and dropping an album with his dipshit son and Ye will prolly produce it

If you got money you can do anything and get away with it basically

Yeah definitely agree that there will be people who rally around him, but I think the benefit to that vs just staying away from him and doing your own thing will keep enough artists away, and personally I think a lot of the people I care about rn wont bother with him (even if they might feel like he didnt do anything privately)

BUT I also think thats easier for me to say as someone who doesnt listen to contemporary RnB. The Chris Brown/Dreams of the world are gonna look at it they way you described and the next up and coming Giveon/Coco Jones/Jozzy will see value in sitting next to him.

rnb heads love album part 2 coming to a streamer near you 2029!!!

This feels insanely racist given the amount of white men who have been forgiven in the public eye

Both can be true

It's only racist if you view it that way, and want to virtue signal.

This case is about Diddy, a black convicted felon who's an icon within black hip-hop culture, so the commentary is naturally about the black community.

I have no idea how you read that and think racism

What it comes down to, is optics.

It's all optics.

He wasn't convicted of 'anything serious' in the eyes of Hip-Hop culture. He's just a freak to a lot of people.

2.5 years from now when the case isn't at the forefront of people's minds, I think a lot of people will take the bait and Diddy will over time, work his way back into society.

Personally, he's a heinous individual that undoubtedly has had peopled K-lled so it's all nasty IMO but I genuinely think there's very few things you can actually do to get banished from Hip-Hop.

It’s because you said hip hop culture

Which is a known dog whistle

Wonder who he booked interviews with for next week lol

Prison phone call interview still gonna do numbers tho

?

They will pardon him

One problem is gonna be the fact that this trial actually overshadowed the domestic abuse part. Most people are focused on the baby oil and freak offs now, so as far as PR this trial did him a huge favor

Roc Nation brunch gonna be real awkward if he ever comes back

All my oldhead niggas in Oakland and Vallejo shooting guns and purple smoke into the air tonight while riding clean on a slizz slide doors up breakin ankles on turf

Lol beating somebody else on security camera, setting up an explosives in somebody's car, these together is worth like more then 5 years in my opinion.
