Chile! Faizon Love has internet users in a frenzy after posing what some are calling a controversial viewpoint. The comedic actor took to social media with his thoughts on Diddy and his federal charges involving sex trafficking and racketeering.
As previously reported, Sean Combs is in pre-trial detention at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. Despite submitting a $50 million bond proposal, a judge remanded the music mogul to custody on Tuesday, September 17. Then a second judge denied Combs’ bail appeal on Wednesday (Sept. 18). Diddy’s sons, Justin Combs, Christian Combs, and Quincy Brown, have been sticking beside him. The same goes for his lawyer, who is hoping to get Diddy’s trial kicked off as soon as possible.
Faizon started his video post by requesting “help” from his followers, then suggested he’s been seeing the talks surrounding Diddy online. The actor said he understands the “Cassie thing,” likely meaning footage of Combs physically assaulting the singer in 2016 in a hotel hallway. However, when it comes to Diddy’s charges, the actor said he’s a little confused.
“But I don’t understand the other sh*t, Faizon Love said. “Can y’all help me? When has being nasty been a federal crime? And I’m glad they told me, I didn’t know there was a limit on baby oil.”
Swipe below to see what Faizon had to say about the “new rules.”
It’s unclear if Faizon Love is telling a lil’ jokey joke with his post — considering the baby oil comment — or if he’s genuinely posing THAT kind of question. He has not offered further commentary on his Instagram or X (formerly Twitter) accounts, but social media users are definitely tearing up his comment section (see below) and The Shade Room’s.
While Faizon Love seems to be giving Sean Combs the benefit of the doubt, one artist is clearly distancing herself.Kesharecently hopped on social media to preview her remixed ‘Tik Tok’ lyrics. Note that the first time she swapped the lyrics was at Coachella in April, and then in May, she confirmed that the change was permanent, per Billboard.
When she first released the song in 2010, the opening lyrics were “Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy.” Now, the song goes, “Wake up in the morning like, f**k P. Diddy.”
Diddy being affiliated with baby oil is the work of prosecutors’ indictment filing against the producer. The 14-page document accused Sean Combs of abusing, threatening, and coercing women and others throughout his career to fulfill his “sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”
Furthermore, the indictment alleges Diddy and his employees participated, facilitated, or attempted to engage in a long list of crimes. That list includes sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, coercion, and enticement to engage in prostitution, narcotics offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.
Prosecutors also detailed Diddy’s long-rumored “freak-offs.” They were often star-studded parties amped by heavy drug use and acts with commercial sex workers. During the federal raids of Diddy’s homes in March, investigators reportedly collected more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil, lubricant, and weapons as part of their evidence.
