Charlamagne Tha God, like many others online, is outspoken about the recent scandal surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs. During his latest sit-down with Andrew Schulz on their Brilliant Idiots podcast, they discussed why Diddy might’ve done the things he’s accused of.
According to Andrew Schulz, “Diddy, for some reason, he’s either incredibly arrogant and doesn’t think that he can be taken down, or he believes that he’s innocent, or he believes that there are people that would go down if he went down and they wouldn’t want that to happen. People in a position of power.”
Charlamagne Tha God responded, “All of that could be true, or he could just be too far gone. He could be too far gone off the drugs, and the alcohol, and the power, and the ego that he’s just delusional as f**k. Oh, my God. Yes, [I’ve seen power corrupt] a million times!”
Charlamagne continued analyzing Diddy’s behavior by adding, “Actually, when I read the indictment, I’m reading it, I’m just like, this is just a dude that… He’s super power-trippy. Super ego-trippy. And it’s the drugs, and it’s the alcohol, right? If you ask me, I think this man – this is a podcast, and this is what we do on a podcast, [this is allegedly], yes. I think this man has so much grief and trauma that he’s just always trying to escape. That’s why it’s always so much drugs, so much alcohol, and sex.”
According to Charlamagne, Diddy probably uses these vices to run from trauma he never dealt with. He theorized, “I think it’s the sex, the drugs, it just helps him to escape. And he’s always constantly trying to escape. ‘Cause that’s the other thing that people are not talking about with this indictment: all the drugs they found! Ketamine, coke, ecstasy. They said that the night that he turned himself in, or they picked him up or whatever, he had f***ing pink powder in the room. Clearly, the guy got a problem. Clearly, clearly.”
Charlamagne Tha God’s take on the allegations against Diddy dives deep into the complexities of power, trauma, and escapism. While these are just allegations, Charlamagne’s insights offer a perspective on the potential reasons behind such behavior.
