A new report from Rolling Stone paints a complex picture of rap mogul Diddy, revealing a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality. According to the article, Diddy has been described as both a super nice guy and allegedly violent and vicious by various sources interviewed during a six-month investigation.
Rolling Stone’s investigation involved reaching out to over 300 people in Diddy’s circle and interviewing over 50 former friends, acquaintances, employees, artists, and industry insiders. While many declined to speak, those who did shared revealing insights.
Sources, including close associates from Diddy’s Bad Boy era, allege that he has a dark side, seeking acceptance and admiration while demanding public displays of devotion and making splashy donations.
The article recounts instances of alleged violence and fits of rage dating back to Diddy’s time as a student at Howard University. One anecdote involves accusations of Diddy assaulting a record label executive who started dating his ex, the late Kim Porter, whom he is also alleged to have abused during their tumultuous relationship.
The report also mentions other women Diddy has been involved with, including Jennifer Lopez, whom Bad Boy staffers allegedly tried to win back on Diddy’s behalf by staging public displays of affection outside the TRL studios.
According to Rolling Stone, Diddy is also accused of making sexual advances toward female employees and associates. In one instance, he allegedly solicited a woman for sex through her boss.
Another allegation involves Diddy attacking a woman at Bad Boy’s offices, prompting employees to intervene and separate them.
The article delves into Diddy’s jealousy of Tupac’s relationship with Biggie Smalls and his desire for the spotlight following Biggie’s death. It also portrays a culture of animosity toward Diddy among some Bad Boy associates and employees.
