Are we going to be hearing about Sean "Diddy" Combs for the next two months?

To tell the truth I've heard his name a million times but I have no interest in rap music.

Women are just sex toys to some men with money and power.

...I don't think you will ever hear about him again.... It seems like a pretty simple case to prove with plenty of evidence he just thought would not come out because of who he (thought he) was.

and i don't think a conviction is certain.

potential jurors on these sex cases tend to believe the abuser. (michael jackson, trump come to mind.)

not to mention the perp can easily bribe/intimidate witnesses, trump has taught these scumbags that crime, for the rich, is legal

...this Administration, and Turnip was actually convicted in his civil trial without video evidence or even a clear timeline of events by the accuser. This case has a very violent video of Combs knocking his girlfriend out cold in a public place and kicking her while she's unconscious. That is something most cases simply do not have. Juries have a hard time ignoring that kind of evidence.

along. The young woman he abused in the hotel hallway video is due to take the stand today. From the bits I've heard, this case holds the record for tawdry. Dreadful accusations of unbelievably violent behavior.

More rap news:

https://www.krqe.com/entertainment-news/rapper-tory-lanez-hospitalized-after-attack-in-california-prison

Officials did not disclose the extent of Lanez’s injuries, but a message posted to Lanez’s own Instagram account has alleged that he was stabbed 14 times during the attack. The post claimed that Lanez was stabbed across his back, upper body and head, and that he suffered collapsed lungs and needed the help of a “breathing apparatus” in the hospital.

“Despite being in pain he is talking normally, in good spirits, and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through,” the post stated.

The prison’s investigative unit has opened an investigation.

Lanez is serving a 10-year sentence for shooting hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion in the feet in July 2020. The rapper, whose legal name is Megan Pete, testified during the trial that she and Lanez had left a party at Kylie Jenner’s Hollywood Hills home when Lanez fired the gun at the back of her feet, shouting for her to dance as she walked away from an SUV in which they had been riding.

She had bullet fragments in both feet that had to be surgically removed. It wasn’t until months after the incident that she publicly identified Lanez as the person who had fired the gun.

Combs should be found guilty if he committed crimes.
Enjoy your playlist and tell me whether this “art” contributes to a dehumanizing culture.

that is needed to back up your claim that "raunchy female rap contributes to the culture" of sex trafficking, and abusing, threatening, and coercing women that the OP is about.

I’m already completely uninterested in it thanks to the wall to wall coverage. Couldn’t care less what happens either way.
