For decades, Wendy Williams has been suggesting that Diddy had become Hip-Hop’s version of Caligula, allegedly. Without being able to provide any proof of her knowledge, people wrote it off as just another rumor about one of the most hated on artists in the music industry.
Now that authorities have taken Diddy into custody and his dirty laundry is being aired for all to see, Wendy Williams is chiming in on the shocking revelations. In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail UK, Williams says everyone is giving her the proper just due for calling out Diddy for his alleged behind-the-scenes behavior. Speaking to the publication from across the pond, Williams reiterated what people have been telling her since news broke about Diddy’s many crimes against humanity.
Per Daily Mail UK:
‘What is really weird is that I have been told by so many people “Wendy you called it,”‘ she told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘Including some people from my family who have said the same.’
The popular TV host, who said she was ‘doing good’ in the wake of her aphasia diagnosis and health concerns, said she was horrified at the video of Combs abusing his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel lobby.
‘You know how I feel about that? It is about time,’ she said. ‘To see this video on TV of [Cassie] getting pummeled … it was just horrific.
‘But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women? It’s just so horrible.’
We’re low-key surprised that it took this long for someone to reach out to Wendy Williams to get her reaction to the news as she’s been alluding to this kind of stuff for as long as we can remember.
After being hit with sex trafficking, racketeering and a slew of other charges, Diddy pleaded not guilty but was denied a $50 million bail bond as the court probably feels the billionaire might make a run for it and hop on the first flight out the country.
Interestingly enough, Diddy’s lawyer suggested that the Bad Boy Records founder can’t wait to take the stand in his defense, which spurred many social media users to suggest that Diddy is ready to take down an entire cabal of rich and famous sex offenders a la Nino Brown in New Jack City.
What do y’all think will come of Diddy’s trial when it’s all said and done? Let us know in the comments section below.

The hits keep coming for The Diddler, aka Sean “Diddy” Combs, and we are not talking about records.
Spotted on Variety, the disgraced music mogul now has 120 additional lawsuits to worry about that will be filed in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami in the “coming weeks.”
On Tuesday, October 1, a press conference was held in Houston, at which a group of lawyers led by Tony Buzbee revealed the substantial number of lawsuits that are still pending.
“The biggest secret in the entertainment industry, that really wasn’t a secret at all, has finally been revealed to the world,” Buzbee said, per the Washington Post. “The wall of silence has now been broken.”
Indeed, it has.
The alleged victims of Diddy are both male and female, with ages ranging from nine to 38 at the time of the alleged incidents. According to CNN, twenty-five victims were minors, with some of them having already spoken with the FBI.
The new claims line up with the previous allegations of drug use and seeking medical attention following the alleged “freak offs.”
Per Variety:
The assaults span 30 years dating back to the early 1990s and up until this year, with half of the victims filing police reports or seeking medical attention at the time of alleged assault. The majority of the victims state that they were drugged, and that horse tranquilizer was found in several drug tests. Attorneys claim that they received more than 3,000 responses after issuing a call to victims to come forward, which they vetted and whittled down to 120 credible cases.
The lawsuits will name numerous co-defendants, including associates, family members, record labels and event venues. The victims claim that they were all threatened to stay silent, much like many of the accusers who filed lawsuits against Combs over the past year.
Diddy Says He Can’t Respond To Every “Meritless” Allegation
In a statement through his attorney, Erica Wolff, sent to Variety, Diddy, who is still locked up, called the new allegations “meritless.”
“As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus,” Wolff said. “That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors. He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
Users on X, formerly Twitter, are sounding off about the latest developments in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ downfall.

Cam’ron revealed that he was approached by Mayor Eric Adams to receive the keys, to New York City—after rescinding Diddy’s—but he declined.
As embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams is dealing with the fallout from his federal indictment, Cam’ron shared that his administration offered him the key to the city recently. “You know what’s crazy? This is word to everything I love,” he said to his friend and It Is What It Is co-host Ma$e while discussing the fraud and bribery charges Adams was hit with last week. “Last month, they called me to see if I wanted the key to the city. I said, ‘I don’t want to be involved with nothing. They offered me that shit. They said, ‘Cam, you want the key to the city?’ I was like, ‘That ain’t really up my alley right now. I’m cool with the key to New York City, man.’”
He went on to talk further about how that kind of offer doesn’t have a positive value now: “Where does that get you? I don’t want nothing to do with the keys to the city and the n—-s giving ’em out, the n—-s who previously had ’em. I don’t got nothing to do with the key to the city.” The “I Really Mean It” rapper was undoubtedly referring to Diddy, who received the keys to the city from Mayor Adams in a highly publicized ceremony in Times Square last September. The city rescinded the honor after video of the controversial music mogul assaulting his then-partner Cassie Ventura surfaced in correlation to her lawsuit against Diddy last November. Diddy, aka Sean Combs, returned the key six days after Adams’ office requested them back.
Mayor Adams had also recently given a key to Fat Joe, who received it in the Bronx in August. The “Don Cartagena” artist stated in an Instagram Live video that unnamed people were “upset” over it. “I get the key to the city [on] the 20th and, boy, was that a hard one. Hip Hop got a black eye,” he said at the time. “The mayor and his crew, his right-hand girl, got me the key to the city. Everybody was a little upset. But I don’t know another guy who keeps it realer with the streets of New York than Fat Joe, who feeds more people, opens more businesses. I don’t know what to tell you guys.”

Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently housed in a Brooklyn detention center and has already been denied bail twice despite making several concessions. It is being reported that Diddy is putting together a new legal team in an attempt to land a third bail hearing.
In a report from TMZ, Sean “Diddy” Combs has hired two additional attorneys, Anthony Ricco and Alexandra Shapiro, which the outlet learned via sources close to the business mogul. The outlet adds that Ricco is a notable trial lawyer and Shapiro, who is not related to Robert Shapiro, has chops as an appellate lawyer and is a standout in that arena.
Combs has pleaded not guilty in the matter and according to his attorney Marc Agnifilo, he intends to take the stand after recently turning down a plea deal.
As it stands, Combs’ legal team has made its best efforts to land their client’s bail and offered a number of considerations including not allowing women to visit Combs’ Miami residence and keeping clear visitor logs. The bail package was worth $50 million according to reports.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter turned down the bail requests, citing the federal prosecutor’s stance that Diddy is “a danger.”

Joe Budden was once affiliated with Sean “Diddy” Combs via their business dealings, but the retired rapper turned broadcaster says that is where it ended. During an episode of his eponymously named podcast, Joe Budden shut down chatter that he was seen onscreen in the so-called “freak off” footage.
During episode 760 of The Joe Budden Podcast, Budden and his co-hosts went into a deep dive regarding the allegations Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing. The conversation was first lighthearted and replete with some mild humor as is custom for the podcast but Budden shifted it a touch around the 20:00-minute mark when he explained that he wasn’t in any “freak off” footage and that his father called him to inquire further.
After debunking his involvement in any of the reported activities at the alleged sex-fueled parties, Budden spoke to the perception that the public-facing relationships had sparked among the casual observers around the 56:00-minute mark. In Budden’s view, he believes that his connection to Combs was strictly about business primarily as the “Pump It Up” star once hosted a talk show series on the REVOLT network.
The podcast episode took place when Budden recently returned from a vacation, which some fans found to be convenient timing on his part. Ice, another co-host, tried to move the conversation forward by stating that the cast had already dissected the matter and that the information wasn’t exactly new but they decided to give the matter some dedicated time all the same.
To his credit and despite their rumored connection, Joe Budden has been direct in his critique of Combs and has remained as objective as possible regarding his takes.

Many people have been looking at Yung Miami following Diddy’s indictment due to her recent relationship with the disgraced mogul and wondering if she had any involvement in the alleged “freak-offs.” A new lawsuit implicates her in one of those alleged romps.
Allegedly, Yung Miami, aka Shawty Wop, and her former boo, Sean “Diddy” Combs, were acting bad together. Spotted on HipHopDX via USA Today, new documents obtained by the latter filed to the New York State Supreme Court disclose a new lawsuit from Jane Doe with some serious accusations.
The unnamed movie claims that she was subject to abuse at the hands of Diddy from 2020 through July of this year, which would mean the alleged incidents would have happened while his legal troubles were happening, even after federal agents raided his homes.
The documents also alleged that Yung Miami “harassed” the woman after she discovered she was pregnant.
Per HipHopDX:
Among the many allegations, Doe says Diddy (real name Sean Combs) forced her to have non-consensual sex, drugged her with substances like ketamine, recorded their encounters without her consent and manipulated her with threats and financial control. The lawsuit also details incidents where Doe blacked out after being given drugs or alcohol, waking up with injuries and no memory of the events.
Combs allegedly tracked her movements, monitored her communications, and used intimidation to dominate her actions and limit her independence. She says she complied with his behavior out of fear of what he would do if she said no.
As for the City Girls rapper’s involvement, Doe says that after she discovered she was pregnant, Miami “harassed” her with countless phone calls telling her to get an abortion. She says she later suffered a miscarriage, however, and hasn’t spoken to Combs or anyone around him since.
The unnamed woman is seeking an unspecified amount of damages. A statement from Jane Doe’s attorneys at New York-based law firm Napoli Shkolnik called out powerful figures involved in exploiting up-and-coming artists and fans.
“Powerful figures in the entertainment industry have long exploited aspiring artists and fans. Recent high-profile lawsuits aim to hold these celebrities accountable, potentially transforming industry practices and providing justice for victims. Fame and wealth do not protect Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs from serious allegations of sex trafficking and abuse.”
Yung Miami Has Denied Any Involvement
Before these latest developments, Yung Miami has been called out for response or lack thereof after sh*t hit the fan for Diddy. In an episode of her podcast, Caresha Please!, she told her best friend, Saucy Satana, about her time with Combs, saying he wasn’t violent towards her during their 2-year fling.
“I can’t speak on something that wasn’t my experience, and I can’t speak on something that I don’t know,” she said.
She continued, “I can’t speak on these allegations because I wasn’t around at the time. I don’t know that person, and that wasn’t my experience.”
The “Act Bad” crafter also spoke out against domestic violence, revealing in her previous two relationships, it was something she experienced, but not during her time with Diddy.
Of course, users on X, formally known as Twitter, are not buying what Caresha is selling.

1. Interesting if that happens
50 Cent has been one of the only rappers to be vocal about the alleged sexual misconduct of Diddy. He’s trolled the fallen mogul with baby oil memes and has been talking about making a documentary about his alleged accusations since earlier this year, when he posted a mock poster for a docuseries entitled “Diddy […]

It seems Diddy isn’t going out without a fight when it comes to his criminal case. His lawyer says he will take the witness stand to defend himself.
As spotted on TMZ the celebrity news site is about to release a new documentary titled The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment on Tubi. Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo was one of the individuals interviewed for the project and the legal professional made it clear that the mogul is more than willing to testify. “I don’t know if I can keep him off the stand. I think he is very eager to tell his story and I think he will tell every part of his story; including what you see in the [Cassie] video” he explained.
Harvey Levin was taken a back by the reveal and said putting Diddy in a position to have to speak on the Cassie video, allegedly blowing up a car and more is a big gamble. “He has his story and I think he has a story that only he can tell” Agnifilo added. “It’s a human story, it’s a story of love, it’s a story of hurt. When he describes that relationship he uses the word heartbreak.”

Recently indicted music mogul Diddy can talk about his crypto wallet with Sam Bankman-Fried.
Spotted on Digital Music News, Sean “Diddy” Combs and crypto fraudster Sam Bankman-Friend are now prison mates. After getting cuffs slapped on him following his indictment on racketeering and sex trafficking, the Bad Boy general was thrown in the Metropolitan Detention Center’s unit for high-profile prisoners.
Diddy is now in the same unit as Sam Bankman-Fried, who has been in the unit since last year after a judge revoked his bail because he violated the conditions of his release.
50 Cent’s favorite punching bag has been locked up in MDC after his attorney failed to convince a judge to allow him to post $50 million in bail and a security team that will monitor him at all hours. The judge said yea, nah, expressing he believed Diddy would engage in witness tampering, and sent him to the special housing unit in the notorious Brooklyn jail.
Diddy’s Lawyers Are Working Feverishly To Get Him Out of The MDC
While Bankman requested to stay at MDC as he pursued an appeal, Diddy and his legal team argue that the conditions there are “too horrific” for a defendant like Diddy awaiting trial.
The website reports the prison houses around 1,200 inmates and is plagued with a long history of complaints ranging from overcrowding to unsafe living conditions.
Attorneys for Diddy are pushing for a speedy trial.
“My view is if the government wants to arrest him and hold him in jail, despite a massive bail package and despite his repeated offers to turn himself in, we are all going to have to move this along with unprecedented urgency,” Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo told The New York Times.
If Mr.Combs stays there long enough, Mayor Mixxy Eric Adams might join him and Bankman.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has offered relentless commentary regarding the ongoing legal issues that Sean “Diddy” Combs faces, and now is set to bring forth a new docuseries centered on the mogul. Partnering with Netflix, 50 Cent is putting forth the series with Alexandria Stapleton directing.
In an exclusive report from Variety, 50 Cent — who promised late last year that a documentary of sorts was coming soon — will work with Netflix for the as-of-yet untitled docuseries. In a statement from Jackson and Stapleton, the pair are looking to examine the decades of Diddy’s reign in music and uncover the root of the serious allegations he faces.
From Variety:
“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 Cent and Stapleton said in an exclusive statement to Variety. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions.”
The docuseries will be executive produced by 50 Cent’s G-Unit Film & Television alongside Stapleton’s House of Nonfiction company. Texas Crew Productions are also named as producers of the docuseries. It was reported that proceeds from the film will go towards assisting victims of sexual assault.
A release date will be forthcoming.
