Disparaging news about Diddy has come on a seemingly weekly basis throughout 2024. Earlier this month, CNN leaked a video of what appeared to be the rap mogul assaulting Cassie captured on hotel security camera footage. The video is in line with allegations that she made in a lawsuit filed against him last year. That lawsuit served as the first of numerous similar suits filed against him in the months that followed which painted a picture of decades of bad behavior.
Earlier this week Rolling Stone published a damning article revealing stories of Diddy's alleged behavior in even more detail. They spoke to dozens of former employees and collaborators with very few coming to his defense. One particularly evocative story they shared involved the rap mogul taking revenge out on the man dating his ex Kim Porter. That was record executive Shakir Stewart. Stewart reportedly had a chair broken over his head by Diddy, something corroborated by close friends and even Stewart's mother in the story. Check out the full story Rolling Stone shared about the rap mogul below.
Another story told in Rolling Stone's story dealt with The Notorious B.I.G. He's still one of the most commonly associated artists with Diddy's label but if not for his untimely death, that could have changed. The report claims he was in the process of separating from his label at the time of his death. That's led many fans to reconsider how the legendary rapper's legacy was handled following his passing. The rapper's mother also recently claimed she wanted to slap the rap mogul for what he allegedly did to Cassie in a statement made earlier this week.
What do you think of the story of Diddy breaking a chair over the hear of Shakir Stewart over his relationship with Kim Porter? Do you believe the story is true an that Stewart was actually left bloody after the encounter? Let us know in the comment section below.
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
