What in the world does MIA have to do with Diddy?

I do not for one second believe that Sam Bankman is his cell mate. And how are these stories being shared about what Diddy does or does not think?

They are in the same call block.

I read it's a dormitory style room with multiple inmates.

We DID know how bad drugs were. People ignored the warnings.

Disagree. Just like there was a time when we didn't know the severity of smoking. I was born in 1970, and my mother smoked through the entire pregnancy; her OB never said a word about it. By the time my sibling came along in '78, it was different, and she was advised to stop, which she did.

PP here. I agree with you about smoking, and ads encouraged it (although my OB didn't even want me to take aspirin). Same could be said for marijuana; however, we knew cocaine and heroin were extremely harmful.

There were print ads for cocaine in the 70s.

These were not in Time magazine or People! I’m not even sure it’s real but the link says they were in “High Times” and some other things I’ve never even heard of. This is like saying that because snuff porn films were sold in the 1970s, that means people didn’t know it was bad for you. I’m sure these magazines were for sale at those skeevy places near Times Square, not at your neighborhood Walgreens.

Diddy's dad was in the Jewish mafia via Frank Lucas, who was a front man for Jewish mobsters. Diddy seemed to follow in dad's footsteps.

Disagree. My grandfather was addicted to cigarettes and made my mom promise in 1948 when she went to college that she would never smoke. People definitely knew it was terrible for you but did it anyway because they wanted to stay thin or needed it to stay away for night jobs (my grandfather) or wanted to look cool. Same with drugs. I sat through plenty of “this is your brain on drugs” presentations in the early 80s. And I knew people that quit Wall Street jobs in the early 80s because of the Coke issue. People knew it was addictive and awful for you but people didn’t care because they wanted that high life. I give people like Whitney a total pass though because she was a teen fed this stuff by a totally toxic modeling and entertainment industry. Agree with PP that people gave kids this sj$t so they could overwork them, keep them thin, and control them.

He's going to be charged with more crimes. The feds haven't dumped everything yet. They are worried about witness intimidation and tipping their hand about informants.

She really deserves her flowers for calling Diddy out for abusing young Usher back in 1996. She was on it.

It was not "Diddy's PR," he's merely a pawn – frankly, a minstrel front – for far more powerful men.

The issue at hand, Diddy’s sexual abuse of multiple women and men, is disturbing enough, and backed by solid evidence, after a long investigation. But it’s not enough, apparently, for some of you vultures, who have to invent whole other sets of horrors with zero evidence. Yikes.

If this fairy tale is possibly true then how do you sleep at night?
I agree with you. I think Jay-Z is a heinous person but for other reasons, all having to do with physical abuse of women and worse (not Beyoncé).

Absolutely, there is plenty of evidence that many of these men are terrible people, without the weird homophobic conspiracy angle.

His parties were literally gay orgies full of closeted gay celebrities, politicians, and executives. What do you think 1,000 bottles of baby oil and dildos are for?

Yet Cassie and a teenager and several female models have or are suing him civilly. Honestly, your posts seem unhinged and homophobic, and strangely erasing the existence and experiences of women who crossed paths with Combs, Jay, etc. And you don’t exactly radiate “insider in Miami. And LA and NYC and…” with these posts.

Why can’t it be both? It is has been assumed his assaulted men and women based on whistleblowers and videos coming forward.

That’s what I’m saying, gimme a break. The gay cabal poster seems crazy. It comes across as a white person missing the heyday of online gossip, determined to add extra angles to a hideous situation. I don’t think every abuser in music is gay or secretly bi, and it’d be nice if posters quit ignoring the girls and women who have been brave and come forward.

I’m the poster who stated outright that there’s a cabal and I’m a sista who grew up in Lefrak (you wouldn’t know where that is) and used to hang out on The Ave back when The Lost Boys ran Queens (you don’t know anything about that either). I went to law school and became a white collar litigator before pivoting to entertainment lawyer when same brothas I used to hang out with moved up in the industry. Feel free to pipe down. Your ignorance might be blissful, but it is obnoxious as well. The NDAs I’ve executed and been privy to will have you up at night for the rest of your life.

Seems fake. Why and how would the NDA itself have someone "up at night for the rest of your life"? Makes zero sense.
