  1. >“Diddy is crazy, huh?” Foxx asked the audience (via video shared by Urban Hollywood). “I don’t know if he is going to jail but he is a nasty motherfucker. Am I right? Specially for us… white people, like, it’s cool, but for Black people… that was our hero. All that goddamn baby oil, boy! Why you so nasty, Diddy?”

    >“For the Black people here, you know how that hurts us,” Foxx said about the trial destroying Diddy’s legacy after output like the smash song “It’s All About the Benjamins.” The actor added: “That was our whole culture. Now it’s all about the baby oil.”

  2. Why is Jamie fox going off like he is innocent and wasn’t at those parties /freak offs. Even telling stories on late night talk shows about teaching diddy how to party on a budget and also hinting about the wild things that go on at those parties.

  4. I wish these celebrities stop speaking for the Black communities. Diddy was never my hero, he killed Tupac and harmed many other people.

  6. Diddy is just the rap version of Weinstein. We are at the phase where all his old friends are gonna come out and say how shocked and disappointed they are. Acting like they didn’t know what was up this whole time.

  7. STOP THE CAP!!! ACTING LIKE HE DONT KNOW WHATS GOING ON. WHEN TRUMP PARDONS HIM HE GONNA RELEASE YOUR VIDEOS.

  8. He was never our hero. Once you seen his eyes without the shades you can see the evil

  11. Everyone in entrainment has a story about someone powerful using that power to prey on people sexually. It’s ingrained in the business. It’s wrong and gross, but no one is shocked some freaky shit was happening behind closed doors.

    Diddy was a declining entertainer, which is the only reason he got got. When he was big, no one talked. When he was not as relevant, everyone is talking. This is Harvey Weinstein 2.0. And you can go back a century about similar stories of men of all shades using power to be sexual predators in entertainment.

  12. Literally the first song of his I heard as a child was Big Pimpin. Sometimes people just come right up and tell you who they are.

    I wouldn’t worry though, liable to be pardonned.

  14. “Hero” Even when this shit wasn’t well known he was just the guy ruining other songs with trash adlibs

  15. If Diddy was your hero even before the shit came out, then you have serious problems and taste issues

  17. i was listening to Mariah’s greatest hits this weekend and so many of them had Diddy and Bad Boy on them, it’s sad. Then Spotify was like hey here are more songs you may like, and I’m reminded he was on a ton of records with Faith, 112, etc.

  18. As a Black woman, Diddy (and no entertainer) was EVER my hero. SMH.

  19. I’m pretty sure the guy that was the worst part of every song he was ever in was nobody’s hero.

  20. “We Don’t Need Another Hero(Thunderdome)” by the late great Tina Turner came to mind…

  21. I don’t know if he was anyone’s hero. He certainly had moments where he was more respected but hero is a stretch.

  22. Diddy wasn’t no one’s hero in the community. He was just another clown tap dancing in his most successful artists videos.

    Dude was always corny.

  23. he was never our hero. We were simply entertained by the clown.

  26. He wasn’t our hero.

    What Diddy did was this: He set the modern day rap/hip hop culture. In the ’80s esp. early it was a lot of consciousness, ‘stay in school, don’t be a fool!’, mixed in with what was going on in the streets. It was tracksuits, Addidas shoes, rap was really down to Earth and some sampling in songs. When Diddy entered the scene he took things to the level you see today: over sampling in music (he used to get clowned for it then everyone started doing it. People went nuts when he sampled “Every Breath You Take” for instance, some people were even upset and felt he had no right to do that. I’ll get you guess what segment thought that. Nobody was sampling music the way he did it.) rappers with extravagant lifestyles, extravagant videos, more designer/expensive clothing, extravagant mansions Rappers were not doing that in the ’80s. IN the 80’s it was on the street or on stage rappin’ videos we went from that to $10million videos with yachts, mansions, filming those videos in nice spots, like beaches, the ocean, drinking champagne, etc. Seeing a Black man like that back then was very powerful. He was dating famous actresses like JLo(people have testified on trial how they admired him and admired his representation in the Black community) Rap/hip hop changed from “see I’m just like you, I go through the same hardships out here”, to “Look at what I got, all this money, the women, the wardrobe, the cars, the lifestyle; don’t you want to be me? You want to be me.” Now you see everyone doing in rap/hip hop what Diddy started in the ’90s. He changed the game, that cannot be denied.

    That is what Jamie is trying to say, I believe. Diddy really did change the game. He changed it forever.

    And yes, he should be locked under Rikers forever, just to be clear.

  27. He was? I didn’t look to him as a hero and this was before all of this went down.

  28. I don’t know a single person, black or otherwise, who considered Diddy a hero. I am an old gen z/young millennial so maybe that has something to do with it

  30. He was never my hero…hell, I’ve always had suspicions of him being involved with Tupac and BIG’s murders for years, especially the latter. Yeah, I’m good on Diddy…never been a fan.

  31. Doesn’t Jamie have charges of his own? He should be careful calling Diddy a hero

  32. So I’m guessing Jamie foxx is gonna stop telling that story he’s told in nearly every interview about him showing Diddy how to throw a party on a budget?

    Crazy how all of a sudden he’s so disgusted by diddy after partying with him all these years…

  33. I know I can’t speak for black people but hero? Was there really no one else?

    I just never got him. Some catchy songs but vastly overrated. I would think people would’ve felt a lot more hurt by R Kelly or Bill Cosby as far as attachment to art goes

  34. Even Mother Fucker Jones wouldn’t be friends with Diddy.

  35. When you meet the Buddha in the middle of the road….

  37. I thought Bill Cosby would have been the bigger hero figure.

  38. Your hero? And before that, who was it?

    Bill Cosby?

    Maybe black folk should cool it on the hero shit. Seems to be going poorly.

  39. Da hell he was???

    I’d heard about Diddy crazy ass shit in the 90s before the internet got big.

    He was NEVER our hero.

    Don’t know what you talking bout Jamie. Stop spraying in the hairline it’s messing with you man.

  40. Hero must be one of those words we just kinda throw around now. There are several figures far more deserving of that title, but what’s crazy is that there are some absolute POS that would still be more deserving just based on recognition despite the shit they did. For example, I could see several black folks saying Oprah is a “hero”. If you asked a black person, or any person off the street, to name a Diddy hit vs a Micheal Jackson hit who do you think they’d know?

    Diddy was relevant because he made himself so, not because of any heroic or notable acts that stand up next to literally anyone else better in the industry. And even that relevancy was a show to get more victims.

  41. Corny ass attempt from Jamie to turn this heinous situation into a fucking joke? “All that baby oil!” Waaaaowww so funny, diddy is a fucking rapist and sex trafficker

  42. Speak for yourself Jamie that homicidal degenerate abuser freak ass Ciroc-hard mf’r was never my hero

  44. He was no one’s hero…. Not once in all my life have I ever heard anyone let alone black people sat “that was our hero”

  45. “For black people, that was our hero.”

    To quote Huey Freeman (from Woodcrest, CT):

    Every famous black dude he gets arrested is not Nelson Mandela.

  46. I’m going to be honest I know a lot of black people and I have never heard one of them say Diddy was their hero lol

  47. Foxx is just getting out in front of his inevitable inclusion in all this.

  49. Speak for yourself, Jamie. That dumbass was never a hero of mine

  50. According to Josh Johnson, my source for all things relative, he was most def not “the Hero”
