Yeah... all them MFs have dirt on their hands and they all keep it low. Until it becomes something that's out of their hands or goes against them, all them big industry guys look out for each other and get their personal issues swept under the rug. This also includes people in other facets of entertainment. That's why I'm always surprised when people say Puff is a snake as if he's the only one. All those people at the top have horror stories attached to them that have either been forgotten or made to go away over time.
Clive Davis was watching his back and eventually he built himself a big enough machine that allowed him to watch his own back — to a degree
Clive was used to cleaning up messes and keeping unsightly things about his artists away from being exposed.
Even though a 19 year old Whitney Houston was already dabbling in drugs, she was still valuable as an artist with a generational voice. Clive and his people made sure the press didn’t find out about her growing drug addiction. And even after the whole world knew years later, it was Clive to the rescue to help her get “clean”
Puff was his new cash cow in the mid 90s aside from major work LA Reid and Babyface were putting in at the same time. And having Bad Boy under his umbrella meant he had a winning horse in the next big thing in music. So of course he made sure Puff was solid to a point where dude could still make major mistakes and be okay. Heck at one point Puffy was his biggest artist.
i actually know of someone who sued diddy/security for assault. diddy's lawyers buried him in paperwork, lost the case. man aint been the same since
tldr: money
shyt was wild pre social media.
It's pretty much certain that your favourite mogul took advantage of wide eyed girls trying to secure the bag.

Clive was used to cleaning up messes
The white hand was backing him up
I believe that second verse in Nas' Purple was about him ...
"Y'all just wanna deal with drama
Talk about nikkas who got things, y'all ready to kill his mama
Everything you into is underworld related
You sell your man out, not even your girl is sacred
You don't trust a soul, hold up, you moldin' soldiers
To pull guns quick and always look behind the shoulder
Think of how many dudes died tryin' to be down with you
Everybody's under six feet of ground but you
Still standin', still roamin' through the streets, that's real
You a survivor, knowin' all the beef is ill
You got a bunch of thugs with you even now that's ready
Trustin' your judgment, quick to put it down, they deadly
The hood love you but behind your back they pray for the day".
This bastord helped kill NY Hip Hop too.
People want rappers to be authentically street but clutch pearls over diddythe music industry has been Gd up since inception; it is what it is
