Welp, there’s one person who seems thrilled that Diddy is behind bars for his alleged crimes. D.L. Hughley is the latest star to weigh in on the business mogul’s legal troubles, and let’s just say he doesn’t hold back.
uring a recent appearance on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, the comedian cuts right to the chase while discussing the big topic: “Every day I wake up, I’m like, ‘I’m glad I ain’t Puffy,’” D.L. Hughley began. “Like, he went from a private jet to a bike. Hey, man, I haven’t trusted Puffy since he came up with peach Ciroc.”
Hughley went on to say, “Any n***a that come up with peaches and vodka… But remember the prosecutor with the evidence, and the AK-47 with the serial number scratched out? The thousand bottles of baby oil? Nick Cannon got 900 kids, and he ain’t even got a thousand bottles of baby oil. Listen… Nobody has that! [Costco] said, ‘We ain’t got that.’”
As we previously reported, Mr. Combs, 54, was arrested last month as he was accused of running a criminal enterprise from at least 2008 that relied on drugs and violence to force women to “fulfill his sexual desires,” according to prosecutors.
He attempted to get released on bail twice. In his first attempt, his lawyers proposed a bail package that included a $50 million bond co-signed by Mr. Combs, his mother, and other family members, as well as home detention, surrender of his passport, weekly drug tests, and a visitor log that would be submitted to pre-trial services each night. Both attempts were shot down.
A 14-page indictment charges Mr. Combs with racketeering, sex trafficking by force, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. However, if convicted on all three counts, the rapper and record producer faces a sentence of 15 years to life in prison.
D.L. joins the growing list of celebrities who have spoken out about Diddy’s arrest. Fellow stars such as Ray J, Bow Wow, Damon Dash, and more have expressed shock about this news, and surely more will continue to do the same leading up to and after his May trial.
