In a recent interview with MoreRapper Busta Rhymes has given his opinion on Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ongoing legal drama. “Everyone probably needs to mind their own damn business until the truth is indisputable,” he shared. “At that point, justice needs to be served accordingly.”
After being arrested in September and indicted on sex trafficking and fraud charges, Combs’ legal case continued to develop as more shocking details emerged. Accused of “abusing, threatening and coercing women and those around them to satisfy their sexual desires”, more and more victims are coming forward to present their stories. Most recently he was charged with sexually assaulting a 13-year-old along with two other unidentified celebrities.
Rhymes and Combs shared a friendship as industry colleagues, with Rhymes noting on Sway’s Universe that Combs was influential in influencing his musical style. He continued to share his views on legal issues, criticizing those who rush to speak out on this issue. “I think that desire and urge to speak up about a situation, I think a lot of people don’t realize that it’s incredibly insensitive to have an opinion on things that you don’t understand beyond what you’ve heard.” We confuse ourselves and make premature judgments and do not realize how much we can, directly and indirectly, influence everyone concerned with unwarranted opinions. mine.”
Social media erupted in reaction to the statement. Many disagree with Rhymes’ view, noting that there is too much evidence to consider it partial. The 52-year-old rapper closed with good wishes: “I will reserve my opinion and wish the best for everyone involved.”
Combs’ family also publicly defended the fallen media mogul, with all six children issuing a joint statement: “The past month has been devastating to our family. Many have judged us all.” him and us based on false allegations, conspiracy theories and falsehoods.” stories that have become absurd on social media,” the post’s caption began. “We stand in solidarity, supporting you every step of the way. We cling to the truth, knowing it will prevail and nothing can break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU DAD.”
