Slim Thug Scolds Hip-Hop Community For Disloyalty To Diddy, Calls Him “Our Inspiration”
Slim Thug — who has been vocally supportive of Sean “Diddy” Combs throughout his recent allegations — has now called out the “world of Hip-Hop” for encouraging the demise of the music mogul.
The Houston MC’s sentiments follow news of one of Diddy’s homes getting raided by Homeland Security on Monday (March 25) in Los Angeles. The following day, Slim hopped on Instagram to slam fans and the former Revolt TV CEO‘s peers for praying on his downfall despite him “being innocent until proven guilty.”
“We can’t just really go off of he-say, she-say,” Slim began before later saying, “Its tough to see so many people want to see him crash out like this. I don’t want to see a Black man who came so far, almost to a billion dollars, fall down. That’s our inspiration. It aint too many of us. They took Kanye down. We losing another billionaire over allegations at this point. Still ain’t no criminal charges.”
Slim then made the remark that JAY-Z is the “one billionaire left” that they haven’t tried to take down.

The “Still Tippin” artist also pointed out how its Diddy’s “own people” who are “cheering and laughing” and creating slogans like “Diddy Do It?” which poke fun at his woes.
“He thought that we would ride or die for him,” he said. “He thought that the world of Hip-Hop would stay down. This dude is on the list of the worst people in the world right now without no criminal charges.”
In conclusion, Slim vowed to “not put his faith in the public,” as the “public will turn on you” quickly.
Last year, the 43-year-old also spoke on Cassie Ventura’s sex trafficking claims against Diddy, which were settled within 24 hours in court. Slim offered the theory that the R&B singer was just looking for a payday and was “not a victim” — which immediately put him under fire.
“She got her bag, so everything was good, but I’m just saying that it didn’t sound like no abuser-victim to me,” he said in video at the time. “It sounds like ‘I needed that bag’ and she got it and everything good now, she fixed, everybody happy now right?”
Following much scrutiny, he apologized for his remarks.
“That was my personal opinion. I’m sorry we don’t agree on everything, I can still take you to Starbucks and buy you a drink, we can chop it up, I don’t hate nobody, I don’t even hate Cassie,” he said. “I didn’t want this to go worldwide… I didn’t even know Cassie was Black… I just give y’all opinion, end of the day if I say something wrong correct me, tell me, I ain’t that small-minded.”
