Is anyone anticipating the new Diddy album?

it's just his plane that is in antigua, he allegedly is still in the US

https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/diddy-sources-say-sean-combs-remains-us-amid-19371417.php

sheesh back when "can't nobody hold me down" was tormenting my teenage hiphop purism at every turn, i would have cheered headlines along the lines of "international manhunt for puff daddy underway."

now that it's sort of happening, just... man, fuck this asshole. i hate everything about everything surrounding this.

i say just lock him + shyne in a room together and whatever happens, happens.

Shyne is in the House of Representatives in Belize so he's probably not going to participate

diplomatic immunity ftw

(yes i knew that re:shyne + i'm glad that he seems to be doing somewhat okay. just wanted to bring up another one in the long line of people pd has fucked over.)

I saw Loon on the Math Hoffa podcast, he had a rough road with prison but has converted to Islam and seemed to be in really good spirits and health. :)

poor Black Rob really struggled after getting fucked over by Puffy (RIP) :(

Ma$e and Cam are killing it in the sports world with their podcast, so that turned out :)

though who knows how much money Ma$e got fucked out of by Puff :(

not trying to gang up on rich and famous black producers but i was watching jimmy kimmel and they had this whole episode devoted to dr. dre with snoop and everyone and skits and celebrating his hollywood star on the walk of fame and all i could think was...so i guess nobody cares anymore about the tons of stories of his assaulting and beating women? or everyone has forgotten? even though its been well known for decades? and he wins special grammys too. is he just too rich to fail?

i don't really feel like celebrating him. there are all kinds of cool pioneers you could celebrate. but maybe they aren't billionaires. or they are women.

Sorry for the ridiculously long link, but if anyone wants to step into the wayback machine:

G-dep is in prison for murder

I don't want to post the footage just because it could be very traumatic for people, but CNN just posted hotel surveillance footage of Diddy beating up Cassie in a hallway and it's really really really bad.

co-signed. just watched it and...confirms everything in her legal complaint. what a fuckin shit bag

evergreen

defend the indefensible: PUFFY

Douche

so does this slap???

Is anyone anticipating the new Diddy indictments?

will be interesting to see whats in there for sure he got up to a lot of stuff

Diddy indictment unsealed.
COUNT 1: Racketeering Conspiracy
COUNT 2: Sex Trafficking by Force, Fraud, or Coercion
COUNT 3: Transportation to Engage in Prostitutionhttps://t.co/WtpO6JF5nb

According to the indictment, from 2008 to the present, members of the Combs enterprise allegedly engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, coercion and enticement to engage in prostitution, narcotics offenses, kidnapping,… https://t.co/vROJrWbpX1

he's going away for a long long time

yeah getting indicted by the feds is generally not a good sign

wouldnt be surprised if theres more indictments to follow too, money laundering, more drug stuff, murder idk

Dawn Richard is also suing him directly.

schadenfreude
/shäd′n-froi″də/

noun
Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.
Malicious enjoyment derived from observing someone else's misfortune.

more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant seized apparently

i don't think anyone here is doing schadenfreude, i sense only muted horror

well

umm it should go w/o saying... but viewing the abuse of others thru the lens of schadenfreude for the abuser is just really vile. "pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others" i would urge you guys to ask yourself who "the misfortunes of others" really applies to in this situation

whats the german word for enjoying the guilt people feel for propping up a transparently shitty douchebag for decades

Cosbische

ppl on the internet always trying to outsource their neologism work to Germany.

I made a stupid joke about this on Bluesky when I saw the headline float by but deleted it as soon as I started seeing details. It’s really fucking gross.

uhm.

i was laughing that he's been put into captive custody.

ya'll okay?

I mean, if J0rdan's post didn't land for you, idk what else to tell you.

Bail denied, good Bluesky thread on what could happen sooner rather than later:

The comparison to Keith Raniere is...striking.

Rather.

Another thread from the same writer (Mitchell Epner, a practicing attorney with a lot of experience and an informative follow on legal matters in general in my experience), worth reading in full.

The inability to separate the art from the artist runs both ways. I have no desire to defend Diddy whatsoever and will happily see him go away for the rest of his life if that is what happens, but anyone taking any kind of grim satisfaction from the gruesome details of this story because they never liked his music in the first place is just completely fucked.

tbf a lot of people are taking satisfaction in his arrest because its been known that hes awful for a long time

Did not expect a Diddy appearance in this article

https://prospect.org/culture/2024-07-31-domination-tour-britney-spears-music-industry/

i have never liked anything about him. i thought the music he put out was shitty. i always thought he was seriously uncool and dressed like an idiot and any time i ever heard him speak he sounded like an asshole. he always seemed like one of the least-deserving rich people on the planet. this is just the latest thing i hate about him. and its the worst. i never understood why all these rich caligula motherfuckers just didn't pay people to have orgies with them. or start a porn company. they have enough money to stock their homes with sex workers until the end of time.

Last Train to Paris is the best thing he's ever been involved with.

classic album tbf

the biggie albums too obvs

anyone taking any kind of grim satisfaction from the gruesome details of this story because they never liked his music in the first place is just completely fucked.

agreed. good thing no one here is doing that.

honestly not trying to play traumalympics or say i'm an expert or anything here, but as a child sex slave survivor, seeing the video that we all did and identifying with the feeling of being held captive on the abuser's whims, i have to say- yeah, i'm laughing at the consequences this, uhh, person is about to endure. if that makes me no better than him, so be it. i'd rather be seen as someone who is totally intolerant of such abusive behavior, rather than stoically accepting it and pretending like i'm not emotionally invested in seeing some vengeance. because fuck this reprehensible asshole and his shitty music. total demerit on humanity.

xp an entire era of R&B (and an entire generation of R&B listeners) was shaped by him. it's fair at this point to ask what mary j blige was subject to in the earliest parts of her career. mariah had a vision for how to blend pop and R&B with rap in a way that transformed pop music & turned to diddy to execute that. he helped liberate her musically and also in a larger sense from tommy mottola. based on her memoir he in some way provided a safe space for her while she was in her own abusive relationship. we know usher has said that when he was sent to live with diddy as a 14 year old that there were orgies, sex parties etc happening at the house where he was staying

the biggie albums too obvs

― lag∞n,

yah seriously, I heard it again after many years last month and holy shit it's tight. He deserves the credit. Mary J. Blige's My Life too.

nobody needed diddy. all those people and R&B would have been fine without him.
