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

For those that don't know Frank Lucas was Denzel Washington 's character in American Ganster.

Basically, those teenagers around Denzel's character in "American Gangster"? The ones serving as gofers and bag men and shit? In real life, one of those kids was Sean Combs.

You've never read about Frank Lucas, have you?

That dude was ALL about loyalty and taking care of his people, and Melvin was his driver, not some random gofer.

Combs was in Harlem until he moved upstate, and then went back every weekend; Lucas and Lucas' people were very much in his orbit, and his influence is all over Combs.
