Nicki Minaj has unfollowed Sean “Diddy” Combs on Instagram following the latter’s arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. After his arrest on September 16, Combs was denied bail twice and is awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center.
Minaj unfollowing Combs on Instagram left netizens stunned. Many saw the irony in the situation, referring to her husband Kenneth Petty, a convicted sx offender who was incarcerated in 1995 for the first-degree attempted rpe of a 16-year-old girl.
Many agreed with the sentiment, pointing out Minaj’s hypocrisy in cutting ties with Combs while having “a Diddy in her own home.”
Nicki Minaj was previously signed to Diddy’s management team
Nicki Minaj was signed to Diddy’s management company until May 2011, following which she moved to Hip Hop Since 1978 (HHS78), which also managed her peers Lil Wayne and Drake. In a 2010 interview with Hot 97, Combs said he and Minaj didn’t have a typical managerial relationship.
“With the Nicki thing, that was even something me and her made sure we didn’t define or kept a mystery. So I don’t go around saying I’m her manager. We work together in a certain type of unofficial capacity. But I don’t really know where they really got that from,” he said.
Minaj was invited to perform at Combs’ son Justin’s 16th birthday party as the teenager’s unofficial date in 2010. In an Instagram Live in 2023, Minaj reflected on the party, adding she had turned up late, much to the ire of Combs and Justin’s mother, Misa.
“What was that like, me being your Sweet 16 date?. I know I was mad late, and I can’t remember much, but I felt like I just knew that Puffy and Misa were so mad at me; I could feel it. I was so mad at myself, because all of the dresses that I had been trying on that day, I hated every single one,” she said.
Diddy was denied bail as a “serious flight risk”
In other news, P. Diddy was denied bail twice after being arrested on September 16. His bail bond of $50 million and other stipulations were denied after the prosecution argued that he was a “serious flight risk” and a threat to his victims if he was granted bail.
The rapper’s 14-page indictment was unsealed on Tuesday, which detailed his many alleged crimes, including events he hosted called “freak offs.” Court documents described the “freak offs” as elaborate sx acts that the rapper directed, orchestrated, and filmed. During the acts, he allegedly coerced and drugged women to have sx with male escorts.
