Online Niel November 3, 2024

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.

Through the various lawsuits facing Sean Combs, plaintiffs have made claims about his personality. Some have referred to him as domineering, with some even claiming to have been beaten by him because they didn’t see eye to eye with him. In the middle of her interview, which can be watched YouTubeTHE Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta alum weighed in on Combs’ character and how she reconciles it with her own experiences with him. She referred to “rumors” herself and clarified what she meant by saying the following:

(Those rumors are that) he is a tyrant, he is the devil, he is evil, he is selfish and greedy. I never heard that he was a weird god of 69, but that’s the vibes you get. “Don’t fuck with it (racial insomnia) or your career will be over. It will block you forever. I can’t say it’s not true, but my experience with him superseded those rumors.

Sean Combs was arrested months after federal agents raided his homes as part of a sex-trafficking investigation. During the searches, documents, devices and bottles of lubricant were recovered. After his arrest, a 14-page indictment was made public and detailed charges of alleged sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, arson, racketeering and more. Even before the raids and arrests, Combs was facing a handful of lawsuitsthe first major one involves his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. The lawsuit was settled less than 24 hours after it was filed. More recently, Tony Buzbee – a Texas attorney – confirmed that he is representing 120 people who are suing Diddy. These DRESS have been filed gradually in recent weeks and have leveled allegations of sexual assault, violence and more against Combs, who has denied wrongdoing.

Among those who have filed a lawsuit against Diddy is Dawn Richard, who has accused the “Come with Me” singer of sexually abusing her for over a decade. During her interview, Kalenna Harper discussed Richard’s legal case, admitting that she was “angry and upset” about it. Harper saw it as a “shot in the ribs” and reasoned that “if anything happened” to Richard, “all she had to do was say something.”

Kalenna Harper joins the likes of Ray J and Nick Cannonwho shared their own experiences with P. Diddy as the rapper’s legal troubles continue to unfold. Cannon talked about the party with the mogul in the early days and said he had “nothing to hide.” While discussing the matter, Ray J talked about the need for accountability within the hip hop community. It remains to be seen whether other stars will follow in the footsteps of Harper and others by speaking out about Diddy — whose sex-trafficking trial is scheduled for May 2025.
