FERG Shows Support For Diddy Amid Ongoing Legal Battle, Claims It’s All “Hearsay”
Ferg is proudly supporting Diddy, whom he says is like “family” to him. Amid the disgraced music mogul’s ongoing serious allegations, the Harlem rapper has insisted that its all a “bunch of hearsay.”
On Tuesday (Nov. 12), Ferg appeared on The Breakfast Club to discuss his new album DAROLD, and in the midst of his sit-down, he discussed all of the allegations against the incarcerated star.
“Diddy is my family and I love his family,” the “Plain Jane” rapper said around the 50-second mark below. “I don’t know all of what’s going on with this case and everything like that and it’s a bunch of hearsay. Really it’s like, 1000 bottles of baby oil? What’s that have to do anything with him being a bad man? He’s just a rich man with bunch of baby oil.”
Ferg and Diddy go way back, as his father used to work with the music executive in the earlier days of Bad Boy Records.
“Puff was real cool with my pops. He did the Bad Boy logo,” Ferg revealed back in 2013 on Hot 97’s The Morning Show. “And Andre Harrell, Heavy D, all of them, they kinda like started off together.”
“I guess he was like the artist of their day,” he spoke of his father. “He was the go-to person for logos, or to get t-shirts done. Because at that time, there ain’t no… big Jewish companies was printing the shirts and doing all of the artwork, and you had to have, like, crazy bread to do that stuff. Him, he was like in the projects.”
See around the 8:26 mark.
Although Diddy seems to still have many of his peers’ support, it hasn’t been enough to get him out of jail or change the heinous narrative surrounding him. The father-of-seven is currently awaiting trial as he gears up to fight multiple charges of sex trafficking and abuse against him.
Most recently, the 55-year-old asked to have a gag order placed on any potential witnesses involved in his high-profile trial. He and his attorneys believe that any public statements made by alleged victims and witnesses and their legal representation could jeopardize his right to a fair trial.
However, Judge Arun Subramanian rejected it.
