Diddy was a pioneer in terms of hip hop, rap and overall entrepeneurship. I never met him but knew many who did back in the day (nineties).
But hey OJ was a fantastic NFL player and okay actor.
R. Kelly was a talented singer and rapper.
Michael Jackson was a brilliant singer, writer and dancer.
In the end, while I acknowledge all of these fantastic performers and business people, in the end they tarnished their own legacy by not getting their demons under control.
(I can name PLENTY of white performers, athletes, actors etc who fucked up their brilliant careers too by acting like maniacs.)
So yeah, fuck Diddy but the acknowledgement of his influence is undeniable (tho many deny it).
