00:00Rapper Sean Diddy Combs has been getting a lot of attention since Homeland Security raided
00:05his house. Based on what other stars have said about him, it seems that the lol isn't
00:10the only party with whom he has beef.
00:13Upon learning about the Diddy raid, former Identity Kane member Aubrey O'Day suggested
00:18that karma was at play in a post on her Instagram story. She wrote,
00:22"'What you sow, you shall reap.'"
00:24She had previously used the same social media platform to express disappointment over Diddy
00:29avoiding his day in court by settling his lawsuit with his former girlfriend, Cassandra
00:33Cassie Ventura, who accused him of rape and physical abuse. O'Day wrote,
00:39"'Money is greater than accountability. Every time.'"
00:42O'Day's beef with Diddy goes way back to 2005, when they appeared together on Diddy's MTV
00:48reality series, Making the Band 3. The two often clashed after Diddy and his fellow judges
00:53decided to offer O'Day a spot in the group that became Danity Kane, and Diddy eventually
00:58fired her. She spoke about the event on the Call Her Daddy podcast, highlighting that
01:02Diddy demanded things of her beyond the responsibilities of the band.
01:07I wasn't willing to do what was expected of me."
01:15She also accused Diddy of making sexually inappropriate remarks about her during her
01:19time with Danity Kane, calling him out for his alleged conduct on the No Jumper podcast.
01:24Diddy was making comments like,
01:25"'Oh, now you're f----able. Like, you look right. I can f---- you now.'"
01:29Speaking on the Only Stans podcast, O'Day also reported Diddy did Danity Kane dirty
01:34by pocketing tens of millions from their work.
01:37We didn't even see a penny of that,
01:38and we were in thongs and five-inch heels for years of our lives on stage."
01:44Mason Mace Betha was featured on the 1997 Bad Boy Records hit,
01:48Mo' Money Mo' Problems, alongside Diddy and the late Biggie Smalls.
01:52But if what he once said about Diddy is true, Mace never made enough money to worry about
01:57the problems that come along with it while he was signed to Diddy's record label.
02:01At the 2020 Grammys, Diddy won an Icon Award and delivered a speech that rubbed Mace the wrong way.
02:07After Diddy slammed the recording industry for not giving Black artists enough recognition and
02:12respect, Mace accused Diddy of being a hypocrite by failing to extend some of that courtesy he
02:17was demanding to his own artists. In a since-deleted Instagram post,
02:21Mace revealed that Diddy only paid him $20,000 for his masters over two decades ago.
02:27Mace claimed that he tried to buy his catalog back just days before the Grammys for $2 million,
02:32but Diddy refused his offer. Mace wrote,
02:35"[This is not Black excellence at all. When our own race is enslaving us,
02:40if it's about us owning, it can't be about us owning each other."
02:44While appearing on the It Is What It Is podcast,
02:46Mace also had something to say about Diddy's mansions getting raided by Homeland Security.
02:51Making it clear he was not sympathetic about federal agents trashing the rapper's homes.
02:56"...reparations is getting closer and closer."
03:00Window shopper rapper 50 Cent fired some lyrical shots at Diddy back in 2006
03:06when he dropped the bomb. In the song, 50 Cent suggests that Diddy knows who killed Biggie
03:10Smalls. However, Fitty's beef with the hip-hop mogul also seems to be related to assumptions
03:16he's made about Diddy's sexuality. In a 2018 appearance on The Breakfast Club,
03:21he recalled getting outraged when Diddy offered to take him shopping.
03:24"'This is what a guy says to a girl.'"
03:26The into club rapper seems to revel in every disastrous headline that Diddy gets hit with.
03:31After Cassie filed her lawsuit against Diddy in 2023, 50 Cent took to Instagram to have a
03:37good laugh over how her disturbing allegations were damaging his rival's rep. He wrote,
03:42"'Damn brother love, brother love, brother love. You out here looking crazy as a motherf-----
03:47laughing my ass off.'"
03:4950 Cent also shared a mock-up of a documentary poster mocking Diddy with the title,
03:53"'Diddy Do It?' According to the 21 Questions singer, the concept has the potential to be a
03:58massive hit. Fitty employed the same punny wordplay when sharing his thoughts about what
04:03the raid on Diddy's properties means. He tweeted,
04:06"'Now it's not Diddy do it, it's Diddy done. They don't come like that unless they got a case.'"
04:11If there's one thing Kanye West can't stand,
04:14it's when someone questions his business sensibility. During his Yeezy Season 9 show
04:18in 2022, Ye showcased a shirt with the words, "'White Lives Matter' emblazoned on it.
04:24Diddy reacted to the design in a since-deleted Instagram video,
04:28deeming it a message he couldn't get behind because it minimized the Black Lives Matter
04:31movement. He begged his followers,
04:34"'Don't wear the shirt. Don't buy the shirt.'"
04:36Shortly after filming the video, Diddy found himself on the receiving end of one of Ye's
04:40rageful social media rants. Ye posted what he claimed were screenshots of text messages he
04:46had exchanged with Diddy about their clothing conflict. As one of Ye's messages read,
04:50"'Nobody gets in between me and my money.'"
04:53He also suggested that Diddy was being influenced by, quote,
04:56"'Jewish people' who told him to contact Ye." As another ominous text read,
05:01"'I told you this was war.'" At one point, Ye even called Diddy a fed.
05:05He did this again during a 2022 Drink Champs interview,
05:09which got removed from YouTube because of his anti-Semitic comments.
05:12The rapper shared a conspiracy theory that some of his peers, Diddy included,
05:17were snitching on other celebrities to the government to avoid getting charged with crimes
05:21themselves. Ye suggested Diddy and Meek Mill were targeting him specifically,
05:25and he shared a message for them on the air.
05:28"'Y'all niggas shut the f— up about me.'"
05:31Kimora Lee Simmons was close friends with Diddy's late ex, Kim Porter,
05:34who died in 2018. However, it sounds like it wasn't exactly easy for Kimora to accept her
05:40friend's longtime partner. According to a 2004 New York Magazine profile of Kimora,
05:45she once had a verbal altercation with Diddy that took a sinister turn
05:49when the rapper warned her that he was going to strike her.
05:52Luckily, this didn't happen, but Simmons was still understandably upset. As she recalled,
05:57"'I was pregnant! The moron!'
06:00It took a groveling apology for the Life in the Fab Lane star to forgive Diddy.
06:04But even after she did, she seemed to throw some subtle shade at him for modeling himself
06:08on her husband, Def Jam founder Russell Simmons. She said,
06:12"'I respect him for being a fierce entrepreneur,
06:15and I appreciate knowing that everything he does is emulating my husband.'"
06:19Kimora hasn't directly addressed the numerous allegations against Diddy as of this video,
06:24but some online were convinced that a cryptic post on her Instagram story was a dig at him.
06:29After Cassie filed her lawsuit against Diddy, Kimora wrote,
06:32"'As you sow, so shall you reap.'"
06:35The simple sentence had users on X, formerly known as Twitter,
06:38believing that Kimora had some serious tea to spill. As one tweet read,
06:42"'That woman knows everything.'"
06:44Yet another stated,
06:45"'Everybody better beef up their security expeditiously.'"
