Wat-Not Staff
Busta Rhymes recently spoke out about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal issues, stressing the importance of being careful with public comments. At the premiere of Venom: The Last Dance, he shared his sympathy for everyone involved, saying, “I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy,” and encouraged people to avoid jumping to conclusions.
Rhymes pointed out that Diddy’s predicament does not reflect the hip-hop community as a whole and cautioned against the insensitivity of making comments without a complete understanding of the situation. He urged for prayers for all those affected, promoting patience until the truth comes to light.
Waiting for the Truth Before Making Judgments
Busta Rhymes said he has his way of dealing with controversies, like Diddy’s legal case. “I’m going to reserve my opinions and I’m going to wish the best for everybody involved,” Rhymes said. He believes that it is a must to wait until the “undisputed truth” is said before he can form an opinion on the issue. Diddy was indicted in September over severe charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, involving incidents dating back to 2009.
Diddy pleaded not guilty to all the charges. Rhymes said he did not want to speak on the matter, despite its gravity, since premature opinions can hurt both the accused and alleged victims.
Encouraging Empathy for All Parties Involved
In her message, Rhymes asked for people’s understanding and to encourage everyone involved to consider. “I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy,” Rhymes said of Diddy and his victims. He urged people to be kind to all involved and hoped that justice would be done when the truth came out.
With Diddy’s trial set for May 2025, Rhymes came to people to avoid harmful speculation. “Every time you speak your mind, you run the risk of hurting someone,” she said, emphasizing how words can hurt.
