‘He Makes Everything Liar’: One of P. Diddy’s Dirty Money Collaborators Shares Praise Amid His Legal Trouble

While Sean Combs (aka P. Diddy) remains incarcerated in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after his arrest in New York in September, most of it famous friends were silent. Only a few stars have seen fit to comment on Combs’ legal troubles, which include various accusations and a slew of lawsuits. Now, Diddy – Dirty Money alum Kalenna Harper has shared some praise for her former collaborator. She also shared some candid thoughts on the rumors surrounding Combs’ personality.

The 42-year-old singer recently sat down for a wide-ranging interview during which she discussed her life, career and more. When speaking with Breakbeat Media, P. Diddy chimed in early on in the conversation. Kalenna Harper admitted that in addition to experiencing marriage and motherhood, her time as part of Diddy’s aforementioned trio was one of the best times of her life. He then went on to discuss what he admires about founder Sean John:

Sean Combs’ bastard is larger than life. I mean, first of all, Sean was always someone I wanted to be with. He was always someone who inspired me as a black man with a voice. He’s larger than life, he gets what he wants, he goes for it, he’s a hard worker. So until meeting Puff, it was all about being cool enough for him to see it. Not work ethic, but real talent. And it’s great at picking that out of the crowd, but it’s also great at making you realize it. It’s not hard for him to hold a party or stimulate a studio or just be energy. He is that guy. He does everything shit. Like you, “Wait, the power is down. Everyone come on. Let’s wake up. He is that guy. He is coffee. He is the cocaine—the white, pure cocaine—for all things fly. He is that.

Philadelphia native Kalenna Harper joined Diddy – Dirty Money alongside Sean Combs and Dawn Richard when it formed in 2009. The group eventually signed to Combs’ Bad Boy Records label. In time, the trio found success, and this was largely due to their debut album – Last Train to Paris – which featured the hit single ‘Coming Home’. They produced other tracks such as “Your Love” and “Ass on the Floor” before calling it quits in 2012.
