Recently, Boosie Badazz has spoken out in support of Diddy, who is presently dealing with serious federal charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and kidnapping. Following Diddy’s arrest and bail denial, Boosie publicly expressed his disapproval, drawing considerable attention.
Boosie’s support for Diddy is based on his belief that the entertainment mogul is being targeted for activities that are typical among celebrities. He points out that the practice commonly referred to as “Freak Offs” — long, drug-fueled sexual escapades — is being misrepresented to tarnish what he considers normal behavior in their circles.
The formal charges against Diddy describe events extending as far back as 2008, encompassing coercion of both female victims and male sex workers into participating in these encounters. The charges also include an incident involving a physical assault on Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie. Meanwhile, Boosie has shown skepticism towards the authenticity of the video evidence against Diddy, suggesting instead that Diddy may need guidance rather than condemnation.
Boosie, originally from Louisiana, argues that it’s common for male celebrities and hip-hop figures to invite women across state lines for encounters, dismissing the idea that these women should be labeled as prostitutes simply because they receive compensation. To him, this is merely a normalized part of ensuring the women are cared for.
His defense on social media has polarized audiences. While some echo his sentiments, others, particularly New York prosecutors, argue that the so-called “Freak Offs” are not consensual, labeling Diddy as a risk for potential escape and thereby justifying the bail denial.
Throughout his career, Boosie has openly admired Diddy, even mentioning him in his 2007 hit “Wipe Me Down.” This longstanding relationship underscores his current defense of Diddy, despite the serious nature of the allegations.
The ongoing controversy has sparked a broad discussion about consent versus exploitation in the entertainment industry, with Boosie firmly supporting his friend, asserting that Diddy’s actions are unfairly singled out despite being common among his peers.
