The Horrifying Untold Story of Diddy

on September 17th 2024 the music producer executive and billionaire Entertainer sha Diddy combes took a walk through New York City it was a long walk throughout the day he took selfies with fans in Midtown spent a few hours with his kids sat by the reservoir in Central Park to take in the Sun and even went to visit Harlem the neighborhood he grew up in as a kid it's a strange thing for a celebrity to do just wandering the streets for hours but Diddy wasn't just enjoying relaxing weekend in the city he was savoring What would

most likely be the last hours of his life as a free man breaking news tonight sha Diddy Colmes has been arrested in a Manhattan hotel this evening after a grand jury indicted the music mogul because Diddy had been under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security since the beginning of the year starting with raids on two of his homes in March Sean com's luxury Mansions across the country raided by Homeland Security agents and two of his kids put in handcuffs for a brief time stemming from a civil suit filed by his exgirlfriend who accused him

of systematic abuse and control for over 10 years the feds took 6 months to build up enough of a case then put him in jail and denied him bail completely leaving him stuck behind bars at least until his trial begins in May of 2025 in many cases this would be the place to say that the charges came out of nowhere or that there was some kind of conspiracy underway to bring someone down but with Diddy unfortunately for him that wasn't the case at all well nothing had ever been confirmed until now rumors about Diddy had

been going around for years the Lamborghini for a day or two and he had access to the house and he knows better than be talking about the things that he does with big brother puff on National people had been telling stories about his ruthless intimidating business tactics egotistical personality I'm a Savage whatever I want to to get whatever I want I have to get financial mistreatment of artists and bizarre public relationships since the 2000s but Whispers don't carry a lot of weight and Diddy's business career continued on uninterrupted he even became one of Hip Hop's

first billionaires in 2022 just a year before the allegation that would lead to his arrest was published and now with countless detailed and believable law suits flying in the magnitude of Diddy's evil just got bigger and bigger to the point where he no longer looks like a music executive with a dark secret but a full-on psychopath who built the facade of an Empire to cover up his pathological evil from assault to rap to threats of killing and even bombings against his Rivals and the questions ask themselves what kind of a monster do you have to

be to end up so evil how many people turned a blind eye and allowed him to do what he was doing while he offered gifts connections and donations building up a Persona as a glamorous member of the h would Elite over many years while he essentially tortured people behind the scenes and who else is out there masking their evil behind smiles and luxury not monsters in the shadows but instead evil despicable people standing in the spotlight but most of all how is a person like this created who is Diddy and how did he end up

as one of the most evil public figures in modern history on a dark freezing night in January of 1972 a man named Melvin coms a 33-year-old retired military veteran from New York City sat sat silently in his parked car he was parked along Central Park West a wide Avenue in Manhattan that separates the greenery and peaceful quiet of Central Park from the gorgeous affluent Upper West Side at least that's what it is today but New York in 1972 was a very different place the local economy was struggling unemployment was higher than ever and people and

businesses were leaving the area as quickly as they could New York at the time was dirty dark and falling apart Melvin combes himself lived in Harlem where a widespread increase in arson violent crime and drug use had turned Harlem a previously vibrant neighborhood into a grim shadowy underworld Melvin returned from his service in the military at a time when benefits for veterans were practically non-existent and living in Harlem it was very difficult for him to make ends meat without dealing drugs but he was good at that eventually he even formed ties with Frank Lucas the

infamous New York drug lord whose life was later turned into a Hollywood movie but on that night as Melvin sat in the car engine running in the cold Darkness a figure came out of the shadows and shot him dead his killer was never found most murderers weren't in those days most people figured it wasn't a random accident when Melvin had been arrested for trafficking drugs 2 years earlier several of his associates had been raided and imprisoned shortly after it led to a rumor that he had become an informant in exchange for immunity because he was

never arrested again detectives believed the 1972 murder of Melvin comes might ultimately be traced to members of a heroin Distributing conspiracy in 1971 a heroin cutting Mill and a conspirator home were raided shortly after Combs had been arrested for possession of heroin and $45,000 in cash essentially it was entirely possible that there was a bounty on his head for selling his own people up the river although nothing was ever proven for sure either way what Melvin left behind on the day he died wasn't just a life of crime or a drug trafficking Empire he was

a dedicated Family Man married to a part-time model and a teacher named Janice and together they had two young kids a one-year-old girl named Kesha and a three-year-old son named Shawn both of whom would now be forced to live without the strong rounding influence of a father in their life after losing her husband Janice Colmes realized how much more difficult it would be to raise her kids in a healthy caring way without a father especially for their son Shawn she cared a lot about making sure that Shawn didn't end up going down the same path

as his dad becoming a drug dealer living the street life or even worse doing whatever she could to protect him for starters she wouldn't tell him what happened to his father throughout his childhood she told Shawn that his dad was killed in a car accident a cover up that he wouldn't discover the truth behind for almost two decades she then took on the massive financial burden to move them out of New York City they went to the neighboring City of Mount Vernon which while not a lot safer or nicer than the dirty underworld of New

York that had taken her husband's life it was at least sort of a fresh start being a widow raising two kids by herself Janice had to work three jobs at the same time to pay the bills and they were still in poverty a lot of the time she was so busy that she had no choice but to send the kids to stay with her sister who lived in the Patterson housing projects in the Sou South Bronx in the same type of environment she fought so hard to get them out of to begin with and it

was there that a young Shawn Combs experienced what he would say later became the exact source of his lifelong ambition being a kid in the South Bronx during the late '70s was not ideal at the time the South Bronx was widely considered one of the most underprivileged places in the US with conditions so bad that even the president visited to draw attention to the struggles New Yorkers were facing didy said this one day we woke up and there were 15 Roaches on my face and I was is like I'm not going to do that I'm

going to get out of here I'm going to be somebody I'm going to own something and be able to take care of my family I don't want to live in these conditions anymore and while that particular quote turned into more of a meme than anything with Diddy only telling it once he had become a billionaire many many years later it's not unbelievable considering what the Bronx was really like at the time he also said this it just kind of snapped on me don't take less in life and always fight back to this day whenever I

get too comfortable I remember the roaches I remember living in a situation where babies weren't changed for 2 or 3 days and everything smelled and there was no food that memory is what really fuels me to make sure that one day none of us have to live like that luckily for Shawn combes as he grew up in the gritty decaying streets of New York the biggest deciding factor in the direction of his life was his mom's dedication to raising him right Janice Colmes raised her kids Catholic getting them involved in the local community and putting

them on the track towards education and discipline making sure that Shawn stayed away from the choices and lifestyle that killed his dad they regularly went to church and Shawn even worked as an alter boy when he was a kid Janice was even able to get Shawn into a private school Mount St Michael Academy an all boys Catholic institution in Mount Vernon with numerous educational Awards to its name but despite her best intentions to protect her son from the evils of the drug trafficking and gang violence that killed her husband there was an entirely different type

of evil lurking beneath the surface at Shan's School the very same place his mother had sent him so he would be safe this is the first installment in my do doumentary series examining the history the crimes and the nature of Shawn Diddy Combs I spent the last couple of weeks reading books and articles diving into his past and I think it's the best thing I've ever made even though it is pretty dark and disturbing the next part is even worse covering the lawsuits the details the connections of Diddy and what his fate will probably be

I'm currently working on a kind of cutdown version to put on YouTube in a few weeks but if you want to see the full uncensored director's cut it's going to be available first on nebula soon nebula is an independent streaming service I helped create that's home to countless excellent creat and it's a really unique platform you can watch a ton of exclusive Originals on there right now like my documentary danger music where I dive deep into the dark side of music history covering some of the craziest most dangerous artists that ever lived anyway nebula helps

me make insane videos like this and you can get it for just $6 a month or $36 a year with a portion of that going to help the support of production of more videos on this channel that's nebula.com Mount St Michael Academy the principal and chaplain of the school were both indicted for sexual abuse in a case prepared by the NYPD and the FBI they determined that at least three 14-year-old boys had been molested Timothy Brady the school's principal was sentenced to prison although he was never removed from his position in the Catholic Brotherhood that

operated the school and despite the overwhelming evidence against the school officials with charges being brought by the literal FBI only one student was willing to speak out publicly and so no trial was ever held the principal Timothy Brady later moved to Chicago and worked at a different Catholic school for boys over there while there isn't a directly known link between the traumatic predatory events at Mount St Michael Academy and Shan combes himself sexual abuse by Catholic priests is a known widespread issue that casts a long Shadow over the reputation of the church even though studies

and information are limited with many Catholic brotherhoods refusing to Grant transparency to Outsiders but we know from extensive research that there's a cycle of sexual abuse positive correlation between being a victim and later becoming a perpetrator in many ways our childhoods shape our adulthoods and with Diddy attending a school that was later found to have abusers at the top of its leadership and being an alter boy for many years the Monstrous evil choices and behaviors that later defined his life could be a hint at a dark unresolved Trauma from his past with countless stories coming

out later about Diddy forcing young boys to undress in front of him admitting to sleeping in bed with Usher having a bizarre relationship with Justin Bieber lawsuits that allege he sexually forced himself on men as a form of domination there even even videos of him being physically intimate with Biggy Smalls not to mention the fact that people have been talking about this in radio interviews and podcasts for years that behavior isn't Diddy being gay that's a guy doing what he knows repeating what was done to him that type of behavior most often doesn't come out

of nowhere as soon as he finished high school the com's family was overjoyed when Shawn was accepted into Howard University as a business major but still being at University was never his top priority and during his first year at Howard he leveraged connections from back home to secure an unpaid inter internship at Uptown records a new york-based record label that at the time was one of the fastest growing in all of R&B and hipop around this time Diddy then going by the name puffy gained a reputation as a fiercely ambitious industry player willing to do

whatever it took to advance his career he had a natural talent for networking and many of his opportunities arose from his ability to forge connections with influential people easily his internship at Uptown records for instance came through a friendship with a New York rapper he met at a party that he hosted as a teenager he started commuting between Howard University in DC and Uptown records in New York so he could pursue both opportunities at the same time he was tasked with helping develop the labels newly signed artists like Jodi Father MC and Mary J BL

as an intern his main responsibilities would be things like driving Mary J blig from her apartment to recording sessions in Manhattan or organizing events for artists on the label but it was quickly discovered that he had far more useful talents than running a guest list or driving an artist to the studio the company quickly realized that he had such an ear for for production Trend making curation and relationships that he became an essential part of their operations practically overnight because the first record that Diddy ever produced ended up being a massive hit but he wasn't

even meant to be the producer originally intended to be produced by a professional the producer never showed up to the studio so Diddy sat down and made the record himself that record ended up selling 2 million copies and So within a year of working at Uptown the label's founder Andre harell promoted Diddy to director of talent one of the highest positions in the company despite the fact he was barely 21 years old Diddy wasn't just ambitious he had the skills to prove what that ambition was worth and he was quickly becoming very very powerful even

back when he was making a name for himself as an influential young taste maker in R&B and hipop producing a long list of hit songs for artists like jodessy Mary J blig and more there was a strange Darkness starting to surround Diddy's career on December 28th 1991 Diddy and Uptown records artist Heavy D at the time one of the top rappers in New York were set to co-host a charity basketball game in the City College of New York gymnasium a small venue with a capacity for about 2700 people as a crowd gathered in the lobby

some people rushed down the stairs and through a set of Swinging Doors thinking they would be able to get into the event that way not realizing that the stairs didn't lead to the main event but instead utility stairwell over 3,000 people rushed forward without a clue creating a crowd Crush that would kill nine people at the front of the crowd in under 15 minutes the nine people killed by The City college Stampede were high school and college students all between the ages of 15 and 26 they were all from the surrounding neighborhoods and while crowd

Crush events can be impossible to predict and control and most of the time the fault lies with the security team Diddy's reputation still took a hit with many media Outlets directly blaming him for the deaths of almost 10 kids after all the event had his name on it did he even later claimed that he contemplated taking his own life after the accident saying that he lost his mind from the pain and trauma he stated publicly that he had been left alone in the gym with all the bodies trying to resuscitate people to no avail I

knew I would have to explain what was going on and what happened I was there with nine bodies on the ground nobody else was there no police nobody just me and nine bodies in his words it ruined his life it was too much for me to handle after the incident it was like I was crazy losing my mind thinking about the people who died thinking about the families thinking about their pain for a while I was probably clinically insane in reality though the other side of the story didn't quite go the same way the real

victims were the people who lost their kids brothers sisters and friends and those who later spoke out all pointed out that their own personal lives were over forever they had no Fame wealth or clout waiting for them on the other side just the trauma of losing family members they could never replace one person whose older brother was killed at the event said this in 2024 I believe in karma he never really owned up to anything and he never told us he was sorry whatever's going on with him now I guess it was meant to be

but me I lost everything that day I lost my big brother my best friend he walked right past me after there was this big rush into the gym he was with Devonte Adams from jodessy and he didn't seem concerned about what was going on I never got the sense of remorse or accountability just let me get my stuff and get out but somehow this story doesn't just end with callous indifference to people's lives the concert had originally been organized as an AIDS Outreach education of event and a portion of the ticket sales was to be

donated to Charities once all the dust settled from the tragedy though the money was nowhere to be found and there had possibly never been any money set aside to begin with a criminal investigation later discovered that while the majority of the blame for the disaster should fall in City College for failing to realize the potential for a huge crowd some blame still fell on Diddy himself which resulted in several lawsuits settled out of court in the years to follow but what most of all revealed Diddy's true character was a 1998 civil case that was brought

against him by two of the victim's relatives during that case a New York City judge named Louis benza ruled that Diddy was lying about his attempts to save people in the gym and it only questions his credibility even further after the events of the city college Stampede Diddy seemed a lot more like a sociopathic narcissist than a guy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time during a tragedy wasn't necessarily his fault that the accident had happened but the way he acted afterwards trying to take credit for things he didn't do trying to

paint himself as a victim when all he had done was separate himself from the real situation at best it made him look like a narcissistic scumbag but at worst it revealed an evil lurking underneath his charismatic personality because even in the early '90s Diddy was already known for being a party animal unlike any other but it wasn't just a vice it was also one of his greatest assets once he was working at Uptown records he became notorious for parties that he called Daddy's house attracting over a thousand guests every week from college students to local

kids to celebrities rappers and athletes he was becoming more than just an anr but instead a strangely alluring Larger than Life figure in the industry because these parties weren't just about having fun they were strategic networking events where Diddy could spot new Talent make connections and build his reputation however they also had a darker side with reports of excessive drug use underage drinking and questionable Behavior even early on and maybe the most conspicuous example of Diddy's character at the time was when a 14-year-old Usher came to live with him for a year in 1991 the

same year as the deadly Stampede a then 14-year-old Usher who just recently signed a record deal was sent by his label to live with a then 25-year-old Diddy in New York from a business perspective it made sense Diddy was a powerful taste maker with experience and connections from the biography of Diddy by Susan trout Holmes groomed stars in an intensely Hands-On style he reinvented their images by helping shape their music and choose their clothes for better or worse Combs sought to control every aspect of an artist's look sound and actions he was taking on more

and more responsibility because his ambitious nature made him crave more so maybe Usher was a kid with lots of potential and didd he wanted to help him grow but from a personal perspective that wasn't quite as clear why in the world would a 14-year-old boy be sent to live with a 25-year-old man he didn't know especially someone like Diddy who was known for being a crazy party animal LA Reid the label exec who sent Usher to live with Diddy said this Usher was 14 years old but nothing about him ever seemed juvenile I was turning

him over to the wildest party guy in the country at an age when I still needed his mother's permission but he went to New York for almost a year I didn't know whether I was being irresponsible or having an epiphany Usher later went on to become a massive R&B star in many ways with his career being pushed forward by people like Diddy but it wouldn't be until many years later that he expressed more candid thoughts about the time he spent in Diddy's care during a 2016 interview on the Howard Stern Show he gave some candid

thoughts on what it was like although he was noticeably Cy and pretty uncomfortable looking he did share a few details and as it turns out LA Reid wasn't having an epiphany he was in fact sending a literal child into a dent of snakes now that was La re's idea right we're sending you to something called puffy flavor Camp there you go hey it was curious I got a chance to see some things yeah but you were 13 what were you seeing I went there to see the lifestyle right and I saw it and it was

and it was but I don't know if I could indulge and understand what I was even looking at it was it was pretty wild it so nobody tried to you know some woman didn't come along say okay I didn't what I did say is that there were very curious things taking place uh and I didn't necessarily understand now would you ever send your kid to puffy Camp hell no you can literally see and hear Usher's discomfort when talking about this we might not know what happened between them exactly but it's not hard to interpret how

he feels about it the look on his face during this interview is genuinely haunting even Diddy himself later went on to reveal some pretty concerning details about the 14-year-old kid living in his house basically saying that he had Usher sleeping in his bed my brother right here from day one we used to wake up and I mean damn pause but like test out I mean I mean back in the days when he was like 10 and I was a little bit older his older brother we used to fight over the over the Frosted Flakes you

know what I'm saying before pause was invented but it's my brother for real we used to actually wrestle off of the Frosted Flakes because he used to always get up early me now he Rich the world yo what the [ __ ] did Puff just well neither Diddy nor Usher ever acknowledge specific details about their relationship predatory or not the fact that a 25-year-old man was given custody of a 14-year-old boy at all is deeply troubling and again it reveals a lot about Diddy's character and priorities elsewhere in the city a 20-year-old named Christopher Wallace

was also raised by a single mother and sent to Catholic school out of his mother's desire to keep him safe in the dangerous Streets of New York Christopher though went down a much different path than Diddy despite his strict moral upbringing he started selling drugs when he was only 12 years old hiding his drug money on the roof of his apartment building so his mom wouldn't Discover it but by the age of 17 after dropping out of high school he had been arrested for drug dealing multiple times including once spending 9 months in a jail

in North Carolina because he was caught selling crack cocaine by 1992 at 20 years old he was facing up to 15 years in prison but even though their lives couldn't be more different Diddy and Christopher crossed paths anyway in a way that would change both of their lives forever because in 1993 Diddy discovered Christopher's music by accident while going through demo tapes at Uptown Christopher going by the rap name Biggie Smalls was still in and out of jail and dealing drugs at the same time as he was trying to make music he had no experience

in the industry just demo tapes that he reluctantly made at the insistence of a producer friend The Story Goes though that Diddy was completely convinced he had found the next big thing and so when he finally tracked him down and convinced him to sign to Uptown one of the greatest and darkest eras in hip-hop history was about to begin but at the same time Diddy was still going through even more issues after only 3 years of working at Uptown records he was unceremoniously fired from his high ranking position just a few months after signing biggie

his mentor at Uptown was later quoted as saying that he fired Diddy so he could go on and found his own Venture and live up to his own potential not being an employee anymore on the surface the reason was pretty simple Diddy really believed in Biggie Smalls but the rest of the label didn't Uptown was known for fun music and Biggie wasn't that his music was dark with themes of drug use and violence and it was full of depressive Reflections on his [ __ ] up life it was morbid stuff that that just didn't work

with the Uptown Vibe despite the originality and the quality of his songs the label tried to get him to change his tone but ultimately that wasn't the right move either and so Diddy took Biggie and left Uptown forever later giving this kind of questionable explanation for his departure he said I was very passionate and I didn't understand protocol or workplace politics so I got fired because there can't be two kings in one castle and that explanation implies kind of a different reason for leaving that wouldn't be explained for many years to come because while he

did go on to find more success with his own Ventures at the same time he left a strange trail of evidence behind him at Uptown records years later a woman named Pam Lewis Ruden who worked as Diddy's assistant at Uptown gave an account of what it was like to work with him during his time at the label she said this he called me a [ __ ] one too many times she described a pattern of constant berating and humiliation that got to be enough where she eventually left the company entirely but it wasn't even just

that she said it wasn't like you would be alone in a room with him and he would say it to you oneon-one it would be in front of the whole office and all of the artists and while Diddy being an abusive cooworker at his first job might just be a footnote in the long list of things he's done it shows exactly what kind of person he was early on disrespectful and self-centered with no regard for the people around him the early years of Diddy's career paint him as a businessman with a golden touch the results

of his work were glamorous he had an unreal ability for artist development curating sounds strategizing promotion and whatever else was needed to make records sell millions even more than that though he was charismatic in a way that's rare for behind the scenes industry figures Diddy himself became a celebrity even when he was in his early 20s he was hosting parties that attracted countless music industry figures and created insanely lucrative connections he was becoming an industry rock star using his ear for music to launch himself into stardom without making any music of his own especially when

he was first getting started his production style was pretty limited and simple and a lot of critics seemed to be of the opinion that he wasn't very talented relying too much on samples to be considered a great producer but it didn't matter he was a master at The Art of Getting attention simply put he was good enough at his job that most people he came across were fine to look past what lurked underneath the surface a Cutthroat vicious possibly even manic desire for fame power and money from his lies about the city college Stampede that

killed nine people to the mysterious disappearance of the charity money the way he exposed Usher to inappropriate possibly even traumatizing experiences at the age of 14 being impossible to work with that Uptown to the point of getting fired and even abusing his employees at the label in any sane world one of those things would be enough to end someone's career but Diddy was different he was in a position where he was too important to be turned down his connections his talent for spotting artists his ability to generate massive profits for the industry it made him

Untouchable the majority of people he came across weren't going to turn him down even if he was exploiting or mistreating them he had too much power to ignore one of Diddy's most bizarre and Sinister tactics early on was his strategy of inserting himself into every aspect of his artist royalties at Uptown he not only used the artists he managed to boost his own image but also involved himself in the creative process by contributing a lyric singing background vocals or helping with production he was securing royalties from multiple sources on one song this meant that while

he was helping the label rake in millions from sales he was also personally profiting every time often at the expense of the actual people making the music and his approach ensured that he'd benefit financially from every angle maximizing his earnings while potentially diminishing those of the actual clients themselves it was clear from the early years of his career that Diddy would do anything and everything to make sure he was climbing as high as he could in the music industry while getting paid as much as humanly possible and as his influence grew so did his immunity

to consequences the music industry driven by the promise of hit records and financial success was willing to overlook his true character setting a dangerous precedent that would shape his career for years to come but what came next pushed Diddy Far Over The Edge taking him from being an ambitious Young figure in the business to being one of the biggest music Executives of his generation and possibly one of the most exploitative and evil figures the music industry ever saw Biggy Smalls changed hip-hop history forever and he had diddy at his right hand the whole time when

Diddy left Uptown largely because the label didn't Embrace Biggie's music he brought biggie with him when they finally got his debut album ready to die out to the public it was a massive hit in every way and within a year of his career getting started he became one of the biggest rappers alive ready to die was a hit with fans and critics Beyond just selling extremely well going gold less than 2 months after it dropped critics gave it perfect reviews people were calling it a Smooth Dark scary and realistic autobiography of a drug dealer at

the time it was nominated for Grammys and even 25 years later it's still considered one of the best rap albums ever made and Biggie became a rap star overnight the 1995 rapper of the year at the Billboard Music Awards the new King of New York he was getting love from critics and listeners he was a guy who could win Grammys do collaborations with Michael Jackson and be a hard-hitting street rapper and making a debut album that's an instant classic that doesn't happen very often biggy was quickly becoming one of the most loved most iconic rappers

alive and Diddy his manager producer and the person who helped develop his Persona was right up there with him the whole time they were an Inseparable part of each other's career and Brands but they burned out just as quickly as they got started and in the wake of their complex relationship the question persists was did he truly Biggie's mentor and right-hand man or the Predator who ultimately caused his tragic downfall the mystery remains unsolved to this day because late one night in March of 1997 while biggie was on a trip to Los Angeles to promote

his second album life after death he was murdered in Cold Blood while his car sat at a red light on Wilshire Boulevard everybody was shocked but at the same time somehow they weren't because Biggie and Diddy's insane rise to fame came with his own set of complications in the mid 90s the East Coast West Coast hip-hop rivalry was intensifying quickly and Biggie found himself at the center of it after the mysterious death of Tupac Shakur just a few months earlier he was in a precarious position being one of the most prominent figures in the Rivalry

a lot of people felt that Tupac's death might have been related meanwhile Diddy's aggressive business tactics and growing influence in the industry were also raising eyebrows his partnership with biggie while incredibly successful was also becoming increasingly complex and fraught with tension as biggie continued to rise questions began to surface about the true nature of his relationship with Diddy given the extent of Diddy's control over his career in finances you see biggie gave Diddy a lot of credit for his career Diddy wasn't just his agent in a way he had made his career possible biggie had

been facing jail time before signing to Diddy and then even after signing his record deal he almost lost it all when label didn't want him anymore and Diddy brought him back from all of that but even deeper there are multiple videos where you can see biggie being bizarrely physically intimate with Diddy in a way that looks like a lot more than brotherly love it was known that Diddy owned 50% of the publisher rights for all of the artists on his label it was also known through people that work with both of them that biggie was

becoming unhappy with the split he was getting photographer that worked with bad boy at the time was interviewed by Rolling Stone and said this biggy was absolutely about to leave Diddy I know for a fact because he told me that everybody wanted to leave Diddy everybody eventually leaves him and that article went even further to describe a shocking lack of empathy from Diddy when he lost his closest collaborator and the Star artist on his label it says when Biggy Smalls was shot and killed in March of 19 1997 Shan Colmes reportedly took the situation and

capitalized on the shock and sorrow he denied the leave request of Le Joyce Brookshire Bad Boy's publicity director who was traveling with biggie the day before his death instead of letting her process her grief he gave her the job of ensuring that Biggie's postumus album life after death went number one upon its release and it didn't stop there it got to the point where even Suge Knight Tupac's former manager and a convicted killer was disappointed by Diddy's heartlessness a few months after the killing bad boy was approached by Rolling Stone for a cover opportunity one

that bad boy co-founder and then president Kirk Burrows suggested should go to Biggie but Diddy said no he's dead I'm putting out my own debut album no way out and I need to be on the cover of Rolling Stone and ultimately Diddy land at the cover of the August 1997 Rolling Stone issue but that unsavory move was looked down upon by even Death Row Records Suge Knight who's known for his violent temper and is currently in jail for a manslaughter sentence he said when Tupac passed I did pick up a microphone I picked up the

pieces and while it's been difficult if not impossible to prove definitively many people have argued over the years that Diddy had the motive means and opportunity to be responsible for killing biggie well Diddy had helped develop Biggie's career and mold his success ultimately biggie didn't need him on the flip side though Diddy needed biggie without Talent on his roster he had no business and so this Dynamic led to intense speculation about his involvement in Biggie's murder multiple industry insiders have suggested that when Diddy caught wind of biggy's potential departure for better deals elsewhere he was

willing to take drastic measures to maintain control the most extreme theories about what happened to Biggie propose that Diddy orchestrated his murder to maintain control over his music catalogue and continue profiting from his work indefinitely and while it's not definitive a lot of people have pointed out over the years that it doesn't make a lot of sense that they were both riding in two separate yet identical cars and only Biggie got shot at with Diddy's speeding away from the scene just before the shooting it's difficult to imagine that one of Biggy Small's supposed best friends

the person who discovered him and built up his career could be behind his death but it's a topic that's been talked about ever since Eminem is just one person who's publicly accused Diddy of killing Biggy and Tupac for years and even Tupac's family has said that they don't think Diddy was 100% honest about his connection to the killings it's something that while impossible to prove kind of makes sense when viewed in the context of the rest of Diddy's career the idea of him realizing that biggie wanted to leave him and rather having him dead than

making money for someone else isn't that hard to believe but theories aside the fact that people find it believable at all is emblematic of the Legacy Diddy was already beginning to create for himself after just a few short years in the industry he had discovered and built up an artist with great potential literally one of the greatest rappers of all time but he seemingly failed to safeguard that talent and when his supposed close friend and top client was brutally gunned down Diddy's actions were were more focused on self- glorification and protecting his own interests and

profit than on honoring Biggie's Legacy and ultimately one of Hip Hop's greatest voices ever was silenced at the age of 24 robbing the world of his artistic potential while Diddy didn't really seem to care much at all shortly after the death of Biggie Diddy embarked on a music career of his own the guy who had spent years behind the scenes was now going to pick up a mic and just 4 months after biggie passed he released his first album no way out it did debut at number one on the billboard charts selling 500,000 units in

a week but it was monumentally bad despite having all the connections in the world to get features from Jay-Z Lil Kim Buster rymes Maze and even four postumus verses from Biggie's archives no way out still managed to be an absolutely horrible album the only songs that charted at all were the ones featuring Biggie no one wanted to hear Diddy's rapping and now on Spotify 27 years later the song featuring other artists have 50 60 or 70 million plays but the ones with Diddy alone less than a million each well Diddy had presented the album as

a kind of heartbroken inner reflection after the death of his close friend saying that the violence took a toll on him and left him traumatized it didn't quite come off that way in reality when he started making music just a few months later and looking at reviews of the album online it's pretty easy to figure out how most people feel about Diddy's rapping career off Daddy was occasionally a great producer with the notorious b but as a solo artist yikes or he just isn't an interesting enough MC and nobody is buying his tales of shooting

his rival Biggie or Black Rob or someone else obviously wrote this for him but they would have been better served to keep it for themselves one person wrote Puff Daddy's first album was excellent but only when Puff Daddy isn't on the track or okay this album is just a total piece of [ __ ] it does have three great songs like Victory young G's and All About the Benjamins but what these three tracks all have in common is that they feature biggie it shows that without biggie puffy ain't worth [ __ ] his rapping is

really really awful he's one of the worst rappers ever and has absolutely no skills no flow no emotion and nothing to make him special I think my favorite review says let's get this out of the way Puff Daddy is not a good MC even when he's rapping lyrics written by someone else he sounds like a chump on the mic but luckily he has a golden ear and is surrounded by talented musicians who make even his shittiest raps sound expensive and cinematic he also surrounds himself with some of the best MC's of the time Biggy Smalls

Jada Kiss bust of Rhymes and he allows them to do a lot of the heavy lifting this was a mega smash album but revisiting it one might be surprised at how much of a downer it is and finally Diddy Couldn't Write his name let alone a song No Way Out was bad enough that a lot of people said Diddy's popularity at the time signified the end of the golden age of rap he was bad enough that his presence brought down the entire genre even worse not only were his albums laughably corny and lame it was

an Open Secret that none of the material he ever wrapped was actually his did he almost exclusively used Ghost Riders it wasn't even worth trying to hide that someone like Diddy a rich and Powerful manager agent and executive would be incapable of writing authentic lyrics he went to private school got a corporate job at 20 years old and made Millions off of other artist cataloges before he ever recorded a song no one was ever going to see Diddy as a real rapper the list of rappers who've been confirmed to write for Diddy over the years

is long from artists on his label like Biggie and Mae to 50 Cent Drake jcole jiss Jay-Z na did he spent years and probably millions of dollars buying raps from some of the greatest artists of his generation but he was never one of them even from the start of his recording career he was exploiting the people around him so he could have his own moment of Fame ultimately playing the entrepreneur rather than actually making art in total Diddy made Five albums while almost all of them debuted at number one on the billboard charts each one

of them was worse than the last carried only by features and production with Diddy himself somehow failing to create any music of any value across a 7 plus year recording career his albums are similar in format to What DJ khed does but instead of playing the part of a goofy side character Diddy made the mistake of actually shoving himself in everyone's face as if he had done anything at all when ultimately he hadn't even with multiple number one albums to his name he didn't create anything worth remembering and Diddy's rap career has been almost entirely

forgotten overshadowed by his greedy business practices and later on the monstrously evil actions in his personal life and so Diddy's brief stint pretending he could rap became emblematic of his whole philosophy ophy selfish narcissistic exploitation his so-called solo albums written and performed mostly by better artists exist in the same Spirit as him giving himself royalties off the artists on the label he worked at this pattern of exploitation and self-promotion defined his trajectory in the music industry and Beyond despite how bad these albums really were they only continued to make him more and more money and

his ability to Market himself and capitalize on the talents of other people even when his own abilities fell short would become the Hallmark of his entire career another shocking and disturbing moment in the history of Diddy's career was his relationship with Jamal Barrow who wrapped under the name shine shine had moved to New York City from his home country of bise as a kid and he quickly fell in love with hip-hop within a few years of freestyling around town getting better and better while he worked as a bicycle messenger in Manhattan his talent was noticed

by a local producer in 1998 at the age of 20 he was introduced to Diddy who signed him to Bad Boy Records On The Spot giving him $2 million three cars and a house in exchange for a five album deal shine getting signed a bad boy caused a media shock wave he became a Star Overnight going from sleeping on his mom's couch in Brooklyn to living in Beverly Hills in literally a matter of weeks but he would only be able to enjoy that Newfound success for a short time until Diddy would literally destroy his life

after about a year in the Limelight doing features for other bad boy rappers being called the next Biggie Smalls playing shows and working on his debut record it all came crashing down UND December 27th 1999 shine was with diddy at a club in Times Square when another Patron started an argument with him and at the same time pulled out a gun and threatened to kill shine The Story Goes that Diddy Diddy's bodyguard and shine all Drew guns and that shine himself shot his gun three times in the packed club and while no one was killed

three people were seriously injured shine Diddy and Diddy's bodyguard were promptly all charged with crimes but when the trial began Diddy confusingly hired a different lawyer for himself and his bodyguard than for the 20-year-old artist he had just signed to his label for millions of dollars shine himself insisted that he hadn't shot anyone at all only fired into the air and not towards any bystanders when a ballistics expert came to the witness stand and revealed that the injuries at the site were caused by a 40 caliber weapon not the 9mm like shine had on him

it only got even more confusing there were even Witnesses victims of the shooting that said they directly saw Diddy was the person who shot them one person said I saw Mr coms pull out a black gun with his right hand and I literally watched them pull out the guns I had a clear point of view for God's sake I got shot in my nose I watched everything occur and have described it vehemently to all parties involved Diddy meanwhile testified that he didn't even have a gun on him that night and eventually after a 7-week trial

his lawyer got him and his bodyguard acquitted on all counts but shine wasn't so lucky after the trial he was convicted by a jury of reckless endangerment assault and possession of an illegal weapon he was sentenced to 10 years in prison without eligibility for parole and he served 9 years in a maximum security facility in Upstate New York after a decade in prison he returned to his home country and became a high ranking politician in the House of Representatives working to strengthen the justice and education systems in Biz and he's currently running to be biz's

next prime minister speaking on Diddy in 2024 he said this on Thursday shine forgave coms and moved on he acknowledged that he was trying to see if comes would invest some money in bise in the country's education system but he also said let us not forget what the cold hard facts are this is someone who destroyed my life more than anything the story of shine's rap career confirms that did he only ever saw the artists on his label as resources to make money off of over and over again the young people he signed and was

supposed to protect and help and Mentor were nothing but a source of income that he could throw away if he needed to instead of protecting shine a 20-year-old kid who came from another country to chase his dreams he called witnesses to testify against him and hired a different lawyer to protect him shine's mother this Buffy has the same responsibility as a teacher or a coach shine was out with his Idol on that fateful night when I put my child in your hands I don't expect him to end up dead or in jail and ultimately Diddy's

treatment of shine reveals who he really is a morally bankrupt person by abandoning a young artist who he had a business relationship with and who looked up to him and who he was supposed to mentor and protect he showed a callous disregard for the people around him he would rather hang shine out to dry than give up on his own Pursuit for power and wealth and even though this incident is often overlooked and forgotten it exemplifies the pattern of exploitation that defines Diddy's career the fact that this betrayal is now just a footnote in his

history it says a lot about the extent of just how evil he was it's a tangible reminder of the human suffering that's often behind his Empire his willingness to sacrifice other people even people who were under his guidance it underscores an evil that was a constant in his rise to Fame and Fortune by the time the late 2000 rolled around Diddy's music career had started to fizzle out and his second third and fourth albums were genuinely horrible trying to replace a total lack of creativity with paid features can only get you so far and eventually

he just moved on to other things around the same time Bad Boy Records also started flopping a lot of its top artists became inactive for one reason or another from ma retiring from music and leaving the label to go pursue Christianity after just two albums to shines prison sentence to a lack of posist material from biggie to the horrible failure of Diddy's own albums by the year 2000 bad boy wasn't even able to generate enough Revenue to pay back the $50 million Advance they were given by their parent company essentially Diddy's career as a music

executive didn't go all that great most of the artists he worked with didn't stick around him for long for one reason or another they all left even the ones he didn't get killed or sent to jail he had already become one of the most powerful people in music mostly from taking a cut of so many different artist cataloges that he had amassed more wealth than any one person he ever worked with probably more than all of them combined when it was still doing well Bad Boy Records was worth over $100 million he had built up

some of the biggest rappers of his generation but still he couldn't keep it afloat because while Diddy was good with people a natural born celebrity host master of networking deep down he really wasn't past a certain point almost everyone who was signed with him just left even Black Rob whose career was one of Bad Boy's few success stories after 2000 eventually flopped under Diddy's leadership and went to prison and died homeless on the streets of New York many years later his career and life just one more example of Diddy sucking the value out of an

artist and then leaving them for dead you see sociopathic and Psychopathic personalities are often associated with success a lack of self-awareness and empathy can make you really ambitious in Business and Entrepreneurship in other fields and Diddy himself is the perfect example a shiny luxurious exterior but a personality that made him impossible to work with and so as the years went on once a Powerhouse worth over $100 million his record label ended up faltering under his leadership artists and employees had to distance themselves or have their lives ruined due to his selfish incompetent leadership meanwhile he's

keeping up appearances of being a big important influential player in the music industry mainly by prioritizing his own profit over anyone else's well-being the contrast intention between Diddy's charismatic public Persona and his behind the-scenes mismanagement ultimately contribut Ed to Bad Boy record's fatal Decline and it also exposed his inability to build long-term personal relationships that are crucial for real success in the music industry but even though his Empire was starting to fall it didn't really matter for Diddy he had spent years making sure that he wasn't going to feel any effects at all I mean

we've talked endlessly about how he leeched off his artist royalties made himself part of their branding and in that way it really worked in his favor even as bad boy became less relevant in the mid 2000s Diddy himself only became more and more popular he may have been a music executive normally a behind the-scenes job but he had been putting himself in the Limelight for so long even as a horrible rapper no one liked that he was pretty much impossible to ignore you see Diddy had always loved parties I mean that's pretty much what he

was known for at a certain point people knew more about Diddy's parties than they did about his songs it was how he built his Network made connections and did business in the 2000s he was Infamous for his white parties years before the accusations that made him a target of the Department of home in security an invitation to one of Diddy's white parties was coveted everyone from Anna Wintour to Donald Trump to Kim Kardashian wanted to go to a diddy party his parties were covered in the tabloids they were known around the world as a cultural

phenomenon of Hollywood one journalist once wrote that the invite list at a diddy party was second only to the invite list at the Met Gala from The Hollywood Reporter it says ranked by Forbes Magazine as one of the world's hottest parties didy famed white parties with their custom furniture monogram dance floors thousands of lights acrobats fire dancers mermaids in the pool abundance of lobster and steak and weed brownies and silver platters started to cost a million doll per Party by the mid 2000s it was more than just a party it was a defining moment in

the world of celebrities and there hasn't been anything like it since it was so intricately designed that anyone who was anyone felt like they had to get in the article said if you weren't there you weren't relevant actors from the biggest films and television shows clamored for invites NBA and NFL Stars hounded their man ERS for hookups Wall Street honchos tried and failed to buy their way in but even when they were on the list people could be turned away at the door if their clothes weren't right we worked on our outfits for days before

going to a diddy party because you had to come correct as it turned out though there was yet another dark secret underneath the Glamorous surface of Diddy's parties and this is years before Diddy was ever charged for his complex series of sex crimes by the Department of Homeland Security but rumors about the true purpose of Diddy's parties were starting to go around in Industry circles it was suggested that the glamorous events were more than just social Gatherings but rather carefully orchestrated coverups for Diddy's Sinister abusive lifestyle all of this was around the time that Diddy's

star power had become big enough that he could kind of just do whatever pretty much like an Oprah or Ellen figure whose's famous for just being famous his own clothing brand sha John had attracted hundreds of millions of dollars of Investments and he was also receiving 50% of the profits from the Vodka brand sarak which reportedly made over $60 million per year while he was involved with the company although in 2023 he was removed from sarak for failing to honor his marketing commitments along the way he became the third figure in hip-hop history to ever

be worth $1 billion but by the time that happened no one really saw him as an aspirational figure anymore with all the messed up stuff he had been known to do over the years painting a darker and weirder picture over time at this point most people seem to see him as an exploitative narcissistic and strange person at the very least at the same time as he became more and more known and more wealthy it was all starting to slowly unravel his endorsement deals and Investments were making him ridiculously Rich wealthier than 99.99% of people in

the music industry but Diddy's reputation was just getting more and more strange in the early 2010s Diddy had a high-profile friendship with Justin Bieber who at the time was becoming the most popular male singer in the world while he was still a teenager and the details of what really happened between Diddy and Justin aren't known but it's still one of the most Insidious things Diddy has ever been caught doing ever back when Justin Bieber first got into the music industry around the age of 15 his rise to fame was explosive not long after he got

into the spotlight he found himself surrounded by a diddy and his crew with some moments being welln and highly publicized While others are all but forgotten despite being just as ominous and strange we've all seen the video of Diddy saying he was going to do a 48h hour sleepover with Justin talking about how he can't disclose what they were going to do while Justin just kind of stares blankly right now he's having 48 hours with Diddy him him and his boy um they're having the times of their lives like like like you know where we

hanging out and what we doing um we we can't really disclose but um it's definitely a 15-year-old's dream but there's a lot more of that like Diddy feeding him drinks while he was clearly totally blacked out and falling over another strange video is of Diddy pressing Justin for not hanging out with him enough the way he used to leaving Justin totally flabbergasted and stuttering but probably the weirdest clip of all comes from a Jimmy Kimmel Live interview they both did it's now been completely deleted from YouTube but at a certain point Jimmy Kimmel makes this

joke about Diddy gifting Justin a Lamborghini and Justin says oh I didn't get the lambo yet which leads to probably the scariest and most revealing clip of Diddy that exists online Diddy replies he knows better than to be talking about the things he does with big brother puff on national TV literally telling on himself in front of millions of people access to the house and he knows better than be talking about the things that he does with big brother puff on [Applause] and while Justin Bieber has never commented directly on his relationship with Diddy tabloids

have continuously speculated on what he may have been exposed to while spending time with him as a kid in 2016 Diddy officially retired from music saying he was going to work on other projects even though he hadn't really made anything in Years anyway but by that point he was kind of a Mainstay celebrity regardless though by now despite his billionaire net worth and household name people had largely caught onto him being a scumbag in one way or another at a certain point a lot of the rumors were starting to overpower The Narrative he had crafted

still though he stayed an unavoidable presence pushing forward on his quest for more Fame more clout and more attention despite the rumors and Whispers that only got louder as the years went on and then suddenly it all came crashing down when Cassie Ventura an R&B singer that Diddy dated for over 10 years starting when she was 19 and he was 37 filed a 35-page lawsuit against him November of 2023 the lawsuit went deeper than ever before into the specifics of Diddy's lifestyle his choices and behaviors throwing aside the rumors to give highly specific details revealing

his true nature it was the nail in the coffin Diddy had long been known as an exploitative selfish narcissistic businessman who had no problem cheating or stealing even from his own clients but now somehow an even deeper layer of evil was being revealed once those papers were filed it would only be another 3 months before the Department of Homeland Security a US Federal agency usually reserved for border security and anti-terrorism raided three of Diddy's homes and seized 96 electronic devices for evidence in the process and after that it would only be a few more months

before they arrested him charging him with three felonies racketeering sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution on the Department of Homeland Security's official agency website they wrote this from at least 2008 through the present comes has led a criminal Enterprise that existed to facilitate his abuse and exploitation of women to protect his reputation and to conceal his conduct as part of that criminal Enterprise Sean combms along with other members Associates committed crimes including sex trafficking forced labor kidnapping arson bribery and obstruction of justice com's efforts to control women included repeated physical abuse com's assaulted

women by among other things punching striking dragging throwing objects at and kicking them and he similarly assaulted Witnesses of his abuse these assaults often resulted in injuries which could take days or weeks to heal and to commit these crimes coms relied on his power as the leader of a multifaceted business Empire employees of com's businesses including high-ranking supervisors security personal assistants and household staff acted as intermediaries to among other things arrange travel in hotel rooms stock the hotel rooms contact or locate women or other individuals who he targeted for abuse and to cover up and

concealed the abuse this criminal concealment included efforts to prevent law enforcement from hearing about it and so as it turned out all of the horrible things Diddy was known to have done throughout his life were only the tip of the iceberg exploiting the clients at his record label lying on the name of almost a dozen fatalities at a concert hoarding the royalties letting his artist suffer while he got rich letting his 19-year-old client take the fall for a crime he committed grooming and taking advantage of young artists like Usher and Justin Bieber while they were

in high school among countless other acts of narcissism and selfishness and predatory behavior all of that alone is enough to make Diddy one of the most awful people in the history of entertainment but what would be uncovered across the span of 2024 would be a whole other level of pathological evil almost un matched by any other public figures in modern history in most videos like this it would be time to consider that Diddy might be a product of his circumstances and the truth about Diddy is that it's fairly likely he is a product of his

circumstances Growing Up In Harlem with a drug trafficking father who was murdered when he was two living in impoverished conditions as a kid being an alter boy and going to a school known for sex abuse against students all of these factors could go into contributing to the development of psychological issues and abusive behaviors later in life we talked a lot about how Diddy was raised and what type of things he would have been exposed to as a kid rumors have gone around for years that his mother was an escort that made him go along with

her to clients when he was a small child or even worse and just a few weeks ago she made a statement after Diddy was arrested that comes across as not much more than plain evil completely enabling her son's actions she wrote things like this seems to be a public lynching of my son before he has the opportunity to prove his innocence he has made mistakes in his past she spent an entire paragraph reflecting on the idea of wrongful convictions before some of the most self-righteous ridiculous phrases I've ever heard watching the world make jokes and

laugh at my son's life crumbling before our eyes is something I can never forget it's agonizing to watch the world turn against my son so quickly and easily over lies without ever affording him the opportunity to present his side these lies threat him or motivated by those seeking financial gain not Justice this Injustice has been unbearable for our family my son is not the monster they' painted him to be I can only pray that I am alive to see him speak his truth and be Vindicated in a similar way a post just recently went up

on his Instagram for the first time since he was arrested wishing his daughter love a happy second birthday no mention of the world crumbling around them just a kind of ominous feeling Daddy loves you caption alongside some nice professional photos maniacally continuing to pretend everything is okay as if his mask wasn't ripped off in front of the whole world it just kind of makes it worse but regardless of whether or not Diddy's family takes his side and is just as morally bankrupt as he is at the end of the day it doesn't really matter Diddy

made his choices Diddy intentionally built a music Empire based on exploiting people artistically sexually financially and otherwise this isn't one of those true crime stories where the person who committed a terrible offense can be looked at as a kind of sympathetic character because they only got that way from being abused or mistreated didd he intentionally spent his entire adult life praying on other people taking advantage of people and worst of all literally torturing and abusing people there's stuff that's coming out about him that's so disgusting it doesn't even sound real he built a literal evil

empire in the shadows of his fake shiny weird career that no one even enjoyed to begin with I can't emphasize that enough I mean there are countless other controversial or just plain horrible things he's done throughout his life one example that I didn't get to cover is maize one of Bad Boys star artists and a legendary rapper who straight up left the music industry in the middle of his Peak to pursue Christianity later talking about how he had to escape Diddy his story only adds to the long list of Bad Boy Records artists who had

to leave the industry to get away from Diddy there's even more though in 1995 he was at the scene of and accused of being involved with a shoot shooting that killed Jake Robel a bodyguard from Death Row Records he also brutally attacked Na's manager in 1998 when he was included in a video that he deemed sacrilegious that he stormed into the label's office and broke his arm and jaw even more recently stories have gone around about him getting into a shoving match with Jake Cole punching Drake Over feeling disrespected about a beat he wanted to

use and he was even accused of physically abusing an ex as far back as 2018 and so circumstances might and probably do explain a lot of Diddy's behaviors but they don't excuse them in fact the way that Diddy has moved his whole career it puts him on a whole other level because even if Diddy was never exposed for doing what he did to the people in his personal life the track record left behind in his career is horrifying it paints a picture of someone who never did anything for any reason but to benefit himself wanting

nothing more than to look like a perfect hero who couldn't do any wrong and pathologically sticking to that even if he had to ruin someone else's life in the process that's not to say he wasn't good at what he did did he only got to be so evil because he was clever first he helped develop countless artists that made an impact in hip-hop and R&B history some of which are still considered the best of their Generations he stands behind a long list of hit albums and songs being basically born with a golden ear for music

despite no formal training he leveraged his ability for spotting musical talent to build his own level of celebrity which turned into a vast Empire spanning music media fashion despite his evil character Diddy's talent in business was undeniable that's how he got away with what he got away with for so long with so many successful Ventures like Bad Boy Records Shan John clothing sarak vodka Revolt media among others his business strategy catapulted him to become one of the wealthiest figures in hip-hop history with a net worth that at one point exceeded a billion dollars making him

one of the richest people to ever come out of rap he even became a household name practically just off his charismatic Persona alone in the 2000s people may not have liked his music but they definitely knew his name ultimately though it was all for nothing despite having so many accolades so much money in the bank it was all a facade that the majority of people saw right through the whole time in the strange way that Psychopathic people can often be a lot of what Diddy was able to achieve crumbled to dust with a profound sense

of emptiness despite being highly ambitious and successful most of what he did didn't add up to much looking at his list of Ventures and businesses he worked his way up to a high position at Uptown but he left behind a legacy of nothing but abusing employees and leeching Publishing rights off his artists he built his own nationally known $100 million record label but almost every single artist he ever signed either turned their back on him ended up in jail or even died the label eventually ended up pretty much defunct his clothing and fragrance lines seemed

to have high valuation but they made little to no impact in the world of fashion and they're now pretty much forgotten he made multiple albums but literally never wrote his own verses and received horrible reviews from critics and he was open about using ghost writers pretty much naming himself as the least authentic rapper in the industry in a world of Kanye wests and Jay-Z's hip-hop mogul whose music music designs and cultural impact is tangible and remembered and understood Diddy was always a bit flat no one remembers his music his clothes weren't memorable and even his

own artist didn't stick around to do business with him Diddy's success was ultimately Hollow despite his lifelong desperate attempts to make himself into something he was at the end of the day still nothing the only lasting Legacy of the 30 years he was in the public eye before being arrested was that he was an honestly strange intimidate ating weird person in my mind the lack of depth that defines his career is just one more piece of evidence for the monster hiding under the mask it shows that he never really cared at all it was a

quest for power and control over his colleagues his Rivals his clients it was all about ego pride and narcissism and while he did do some horrible things in that context leaving behind a billion dooll trail of exploitation the true terrible evil was still hidden all along until now when it's finally been revealed the history of Diddy's career deep diving into what kind of person he's always been and showing the history of his behavior is the most insane task to undertake even before getting to his sex trafficking Empire it's non-stop one after the other [ __
