During an appearance on the PBD Podcast, Ice Cube discussed his thoughts on Diddy’s mutliple sexual assault allegations. In the rapper’s opinion, the now-disgraced is being “targeted.” The Friday star noted that while the hip-hop industry was the “wild, wild, west” in its heydey, he doubted the validity of the allegations against Diddy. Ice Cube theorized that someone had to be pulling the strings.
“I believe he’s being targeted,” Cube said. “I believe someone has the power to pull the trigger to make this stuff. This domino effect happened.” He also revealed that while he wasn’t too familiar with every accusation against Diddy, the father of seven was “cool up until a point, and this stuff started happening.”Last year, Cassie sued the Diddy and accused him of rape, physical abuse, and human trafficking. Nearly one day later, the pair settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
Diddy’s Ever-Growing Allegations
The former couple were together for 11 years, from 2007 until 2019. Following the video’s release Diddy hopped on Instagram to offer an apology. However, it has since been deleted from his page. Not too long ago, Rolling Stone published a damning exposé about his troubling history. The article explores allegations of violence that go back as far as his days at Howard University. More recently, in a personal essay for the New York Times, former Vibe Editor-In-Chief detailed a violent interaction she had with Diddy.
The author even claims he threatened her with violence. Smith says that Diddy told her that he wanted to see her “dead in the trunk of a car.” The writer noted that immediately after the call she contacted her lawyer, who spoke to Diddy. A short time later, the now-disgraced mogul faxed over an apology. However, not long after that, the offices at Vibe were raided, and servers were removed from the building. Smith believes that it was an “inside job.”
