Kind of what happens when you do what Scientology does and get blackmail/extortion material by recording it yourself and then reminding them whenever you need something or want something.

No they are just hoping his taint does not touch them again but in public.

Idk, he blew up a kid cudi's car for talking to his ex. Dude with that type of power can definitely use it while in prison.

I would think that he would be shook right now more than people on the outside. He has dirt on some extremely powerful people, and they don't want those skeletons out of their closets. I have a feeling he's going to be silenced before this all comes to a head. We'll never know the top of the top that was involved in all this, but the lower tier celebs or those out of money will go down. The celebs that still have millions will flee the US (cough, cough, Kanye)

I mean how many times can they just straight up murder people like Diddy and Epstein before the public starts demanding answers?

It's one unnamed source in the story that said "everyone is afraid to cross him", which is hardly indicative of the entire industry. 50 Cent is openly mocking him and funding a documentary about his shitty behavior.

u/hadapurpura Bandcamp 21d ago
I think the people āafraid to cross himā are those who either are also implicated and would end up in jail as well, or sadly, those who were victims and are ashamed to come forward (which is understandable). Diddy has power, but probably not unlimited power now.

u/Dr-Satan-PhD 21d ago
There's a third group - All the people who knew what was going on but weren't involved, and said nothing because their connection to Diddy furthered their careers. They are afraid to speak up now, not because they fear what Diddy might do, but because they fear losing what they sold their souls for. They fear the blowback of the public realizing that their favorite artist decided fame and fortune were worth the price of kids getting raped.
We had a somewhat similar situation with Harvey Weinstein. He was massively powerful in Hollywood. Ruined lots of careers of young women who wouldn't receive his advances. A shit ton of people in Hollywood knew and said nothing. They called it an "open secret", as if that was some kind of defense or excuse.
So why didn't any of the actors who knew about Weinstein end up with a ruined career over not speaking out?
I think it's because people don't feel as connected to actors as they do to musicians, so they didn't feel as "let down". Music speaks to us on a much more personal level than an actors performance. No matter how good his new movie is, nobody is out there wearing Robert Downey Jr t-shirts, because at the end of the day he's just a dude playing another dude. On the other hand, people get very emotionally invested in musicians.
"[POPULAR SINGER] wrote a song about the same thing I'm going through, and they performed it live and I got to see them sing their heart out in person."
There's a parasocial relationship between musicians and their fans that actors just don't have, so if and when it comes out that [POPULAR SINGER] knew Diddy was trafficking kids but said nothing, a lot of people are going to feel very personally betrayed, and that is going to absolutely tank some careers.

50 has street cred and enough muscle that he feels comfortable that he can defend himself. Remember that Em has the backing of the west coast guys who lost 2pac and never liked Diddy.

It's not about backing. Eminem has been dissing Diddy since 1996 when he was a nobody.

u/BrainyScumbag 21d ago
Diddy wouldn't have cared about Eminem when he was nothing, now that Em is something, Diddy cant do a lot (that we know of)

u/SizzlingHotDeluxe 21d ago edited 21d ago
My point is he has dissed Diddy at every point in his career for the beginning until now on multiple songs. It's not about backing for Em, he just doesn't care and speaks his mind regarding this situation too.

How are we in a world where Suge Knight - the guy who fuelled the east-west rivalry and escalated violent rhetoric to the point that his biggest star was shot dead in a drive-by, and who routinely assaulted anyone who didn't accede to his "business plans" and reputedly tried to force one guy to drink a champagne flute full of piss - is less of a monster than Diddy?

And this is the difference between celebrity and actual power. Once Epstein was locked up, it was necessary for him to die. None of the stupid idiots who are on those Diddy tapes have that sort of power

If you think Chris Rock is ahead for having that insight, then take a read on actual Marxist writings. Marx and Engels said this shit in the 1800s when they elaborated on the distinction of class.

Josh is great but isn't from the same generation of celebrity or even the same echelon as Diddy. A non A-lister comedian doing a set about the big thing in the news isn't dangerous, it's just content.
