The hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs he was arrested in September 2024 on charges including sex trafficking and racketeering. The “Coming Home” singer was previously sued by him ex-girlfriend, Cassie Venturain 2023, which seemed to be the impetus for even more information coming out about Diddy.

Apparently, Diddy had some jealousy issues when his label was growing, and a former friend of his said that Diddy didn’t like the friendship that Biggie and Tupac Shakur had for a while time before their death.

It’s not easy to make it in the world of rap and hip-hop, and Diddy knew that. But when he launched Bad Boy Records in 1993, he stopped at nothing to find success. Today, Combs sits in prison like him awaiting trial on multiple chargesand those close to him once spoke to him of what might have led him to this fate.

“He was someone on the sidelines, jealous,” said Kirk Burrowes, Diddy’s former partner at Bad Boy Records and former label president. Rolling Stone. At the time, Biggie was signed to Bad Boy Records, and Diddy had tried to befriend Tupac, but Tupac didn’t take it well. This meant that Biggie’s budding friendship with Tupac was bothering Diddy.

But that friendship soon turned into rivalry; in 1994, Shakur was shot but survived and blamed Diddy and Bad Boy Records; it meant that he and Biggie were no longer friends. However, it appears that Biggie was trying to leave Bad Boy Records shortly before his death.

“I know for a fact (because) he told me,” Monique Bunn, a hip-hop photographer, told Rolling Stone.

There are plenty of people who aren’t willing to talk about Diddy’s allegations, but both Suge Knight and 50 Cent, neither of whom got along well with Diddy, had choice words for the mogul. Knight suggested that abuse in the hip-hop industry is a perpetual cycle and that Diddy was abused in his early and later years. Knight also said he believes Diddy’s “life is in danger” because of the mogul’s knowledge of so many celebrity secrets.

50 Cent also recently opened up about Diddy, saying the two have never gotten along so well. 50 also said that Diddy had a “weird energy” about him over the years and that Diddy made him “uncomfortable.”

Diddy’s trial is scheduled to begin in May 2025. He has not been released from prison.
