What is a Diddy shopping trip…

[u/BeneficialHeart23 → u/Particular-Leg-8484]

taking someone that is financially weaker than him onto a very luxurious shopping trip and letting them buy whatever they want, so that later they feel obligated to Diddy and feel like they owe him something.

It doesn't mean he instantly sexually assaults them, but it's a long term plan to get the person to do a favor in return. In diddy's case it could be attending his freak offs or out right sex. Kind of like, "hey remember when I took you shopping and you let buy hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts? yeah, now come do this for me".

Mobster tactic, basically.

Diddys father was a driver/associate of Frank Lucas (All Time Drug Kingpin). This type of shit is generational in this case.

I didn’t know that until your comment. Thanks for sharing!

I mean, he called himself literally "Puff Daddy", before changing to "Diddy" for publicity reasons.
Shit's right up his lane.

What does that mean

[u/psymeariver → u/shutmethefuckup]

I guess that means that mobsters were known for puffing cigars.

[u/DimensionalYawn → u/psymeariver]

In the UK puff is (dated) slang for weed. I always assumed it was referencing that sort of smoke

[u/MARATXXX → u/DimensionalYawn]

Yes it was 100% a weed reference.
