This is your inter do interpretation.

The reality is that a multibillion dollars company has the mean to ruin your life. And they do it when they need to.

It has nothing to do with them being white

'Money is power', Diddy used to scream it; well... It's true.
Didn't say they don't or can't. When people start talking about "they" in relation to Black men getting "discipline" for not knowing their place. It doesn't take a genius to know what is inferred had a lot to do with race not just money.

Welcome to capitalism. You think any celebrity or corporation really cares about you or the black community? Nobody owes you nothing. You sound like a crab just looking for reasons to hate on successful people. They settled his lawsuit cause it had merit and their racist emails and text about diddy and the black folks who drink ciroc would probably come out in court.

I sound like a crab? Lol. I'm successful in my own right. I'm not Diddy level of money, but who is?

And because I criticize someone using their own race to capitalize and take advantage of their own people, I'm a crab? Okay...

We're not talking about Mexicans using the fact they speak Spanish to capitalize on their large numbers of immigrants in America. We're not talking about Asians pooling together in certain areas of cities to buy/do business with each othrt.

We're talking about a black man, using words like "family", sticking together, all things that black ppl have historically been disenfranchised over.... for the sole purpose of pulling the wool over his own peoples eyes. Diddy wanted to take advantage of black entertainers the same way he saw white execs doing.

If you can excuse that and pass the blame back to me, well that's a level of bs I'm not interested in debating

Yes you are a crab. Diddy has fed more black families than you ever will in your life. I know people who worked for him that are very successful now. I will never hate a black man for being a capitalist. 99% of people who talk like you would do worse than diddy if you ever had any real money. Its easy to talk about what you would do with millions of dollars when you aint got none. Diddy never forced anyone to sign a contract they didnt read. They made that choice. Business is business. Not charity.

You know
We see what happened here.

Diddy had an outrageously fantastic deal and threw a tantrum when he wanted more (regarding Deleon) and didn't get it.

So he tried to play the race card
Any person who uses the term “Race card” is suspect. Do you know where that term comes from? You just be repeating shyt huh?

So he had rape charges because he took his liquor distributor to court? Got it...

Y'all just love to create this mythical insurmountable force of a white man that always checking "out of pocket" nikkaz and "putting them in their place". In reality. He was dealt a blow by the timing of this case and his other cases. Seeing as how he uses his image to push brands and it is currently tainted it was a good time to cut losses and walk away.

But you go ahead and let that white man live larger than life in your mind. Y'all dudes never met a conspiracy about a white dominance of Black men you didn't like.

Heh, you're trying too hard on this one. Folks been coming at Diddy for years with credible shiit, and he's dodged all off em, or simply silenced em.

I agree not everything is a conspiracy. And we do give them people too much credit. But this just looks like the classic case of someone not knowing you don't bite the hand that feeds you. When it's some off the most powerful folks in the world, when you got mad skeletons in your closet.

Yes. But many of those white capitalist who hold financial power in the West are also racists. White skin does not give them power, money does; but they also use that power in a racist way. It's not that controversial.

Saying that does not mean we deify white people (even though I have to agree that some of us do), but PER SE it's just seeing the reality of the power structure in the West.

Is it the case here ? I have no idea.

I wonder how many more companies or branches are gona wash their hands ov anything puffy related …. No doubt puffy a big wig in his own right but some ov these white big wigs are way bigger than him … it just seems like they want nothing to do with him anymore … he’s gona have a tough time rebuilding his image might take a few years …..what’s interesting to me is none ov is white or black celebrity buddies even went public to defend him … regardless if the allegations are false or true … I guess it’s true what they say about the industry that none ov them are truly your friends …

Black social media probably the biggest supporters of destroying black celebrities. All these devils gotta do is spill a little tea and it’s go time.

Yeah, the key word is TIMING.
There were a few threads up about the New York law that extended the statute of limitations for civil cases and sexual abuse allegations. Everybody read those threads, and the ones about men in the public eye who were very publicly sued.
Puffy was just another celeb who was accused during the extended period for victims to file........UNTIL he settled within 24 hours. And then the other allegations and lawsuits were announced.

Everyone saw these developments, even if they just read headlines. So dudes running in here about conspiracy theories and white men putting him in his place are ignoring what they saw with their own eyes.

The truth is, Diddy’s legal situation isn’t uncommon, or the levels of multi negotiation going on between different cases.

Most people wouldn’t be aware of that type of struggle unless they’ve actually worked as a lawyer or know enough businesses engaged in legal battles. It would seem like it’s conspiracy but like you said the timing is really what makes it’s clear he just was engaged in too much legal proceedings and needed to end one struggle

No legal team wants to be working that hard

Court system is something else…
