Chopper, a former Da Band member, revealed that he witnessed Sean “Diddy” Combs do shocking things behind closed doors.
The New Orleans rapper sat along The art of dialogue in a detailed interview where he spoke candidly about a variety of topics, including his own sex trafficking charges – which he claims were dropped – and his work experiences with Diddy.
Surprisingly, Chopper is said to have claimed that the now disgraced Bad Boy boss is “gay” and even saw him hooking up with an unnamed high-ranking man in a recording studio.
According to him, he walked into an unexpected scene when he saw Diddy, now 55 years old, “knocking down” another powerful man, causing him to have an “unusual” look after that shocking scene.
“I walked into the studio and saw two powerful men doing things that made me uncomfortable,” Chopper, 39, said. You can interpret that however you want.”
“I opened the door, I saw what I saw, and I quickly slammed the door shut. […] That bothers me, I won’t lie. After that I looked at Diddy differently. I don’t feel Bad Boy anymore.”
After the alleged incident, ex Form a band The star found he was treated “kindly” by other executives at the label, in addition to receiving the music video for his single “Lil Daddy” for free in 2016.
“Yes, damn it, he’s gay! Yes, he’s gay,” Chopper continued. “But I don’t think being gay is bad. If that’s their preference, then that’s their preference.” That said, despite various allegations of abuse, he’s not entirely convinced that Diddy is a “sex trafficker.”
The music mogul is currently facing charges of conspiracy to commit racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. Chopper feels the countless lawsuits against him come as a form of “karma”.
“I just think he’s done so much that the universe tends to unravel the way it’s supposed to happen,” Chopper said. “When you do right by people, it comes back. And when you do wrong with everyone, you will get what you deserve.”
“I think it’s time for him to have humble pie,” Chopper added. “And the universe basically took away what he had taken all these years and I think that’s what’s going on.”
Chopper, 39, expressed: “I believe it’s a double-edged sword… It’s bittersweet. What Diddy did to so many artists on his label is so evil.” “I think Diddy means well, but if you live a certain lifestyle for too long, you stop treating people like people and start treating people like objects.”
Chopper appeared in Diddy’s hit MTV series Form a band in 2002, where more than 40,000 aspiring artists auditioned for a coveted spot in Diddy’s group.
Ultimately, six musicians were chosen, including Chopper, Sara Rivers, Dylan Dilinjah, Frederick “Freddy P” Watson, Lloyd “Ness” Mathis and Lynese “Babs” Wiley.
