I've helped someone make a mixtape that saw play and I've met Diddy before at a party (not that kind of party ). They might as well ask me then by that standard. I feel as if these people are being lazy and just looking for anyone.These people are hip hop are they not and have encountered Diddy in their past, so it’s all fair game for all of them to be asked about it.
Hell even artist in the pop world shouldn’t be surprised if they are asked about it as well with how ingrained in pop culture he was.
