Stevie J has already made it crystal clear that he’s riding for and with Diddy! And by the sound of his recent interview with TMZ, that isn’t changing at this time.
Stevie told TMZ on Tuesday that his friend of 29 years is being treated with force, similar to drug lords El Chapo and Pablo Escobar and terrorist Osama Bin Laden. He was allegedly working at Diddy’s Miami home studio when federal agents busted in.
“I’m just here to say that I’ve never seen my man doing anything foul like they talkin’ about,” Stevie added, acknowledging that he also hasn’t minded Diddy’s bedroom business.
Watch his comments on the raid below.
If you haven’t been keeping up, Sean “P Diddy” Combs has been a headline hot topic since November. He went from repeatedly going viral for his public romance with Yung Miami to getting side-eyes after Cassie filed a sexual assault, abuse, and trafficking lawsuit against him.
Though they privately settled one day after she filed, similar lawsuits against the hip hop mogul, including one from his former videographer and producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, have sprung up. Diddy has maintained his innocence and has not had any charges brought against him at this time.
Note that Stevie J and Diddy’s son Justin Combs are also named in Rodney Jones’ lawsuit. They’re accused of recruiting prostitutes and underage girls at Sean Combs’ orders for parties. Both have denied the allegations.
Stevie J’s TMZ comments come days after going viral for hosting a gospel music praise session online. He live-streamed the playlist playback in his studio while tagging P Diddy and his sons Justin and Christian Combs in the post.
Also this week, Justin Combs’ mother, Misa Hylton, shared similar sentiments about the use of force in the raid. She shared newly seen footage of the raid in the Los Angeles home on social media and revealed that her son’s lawyer was looking into how federal agents behaved.
As previously reported, the feds detained Justin and Christian outside of Diddy’s Los Angeles home on March 25. They were later released and have yet to be charged or arrested for the alleged crimes. ABC News reported that the temporary detainment was standard procedure.
But Misa accused agents of training laser beams and loaded guns on the Combs brothers despite being handcuffed and unarmed.
“If these were the sons of a non-Black celebrity, they would not have been handled with the same aggression. The attempt to humiliate and terrorize these innocent young, BLACK MEN is despicable. Enough is enough,” Misa shared on Instagram.
Homeland Security Investigations New York coordinated the bi-coastal raids. The raids were reportedly part of an ongoing investigation allegedly linked to sex trafficking.
