Floyd Mayweather Reacts to the Sexual Assault Allegations Against Diddy
While everyone is well aware of the allegations against Diddy, Floyd Mayweather recently commented on the matter. During the Pivot Podcast, Floyd Mayweather refused to condemn Diddy over the charges of sexual assault against him.
Floyd told in the podcast, “I’m not going to speak bad about P Diddy. He’s still a black man, mistakes happen and I can’t say if it is or if it’s not a mistake but things happen in life, and P Diddy’s business is P Diddy’s business. It’s not my job or anyone else’s job to go on the internet and stomp him and kick a man while he’s down”.

Floyd Mayweather, in his Pivot podcast episode, also added, “My take on it is it’s not business. I don’t think it is right at all and I don’t condone it, even if that happened to my daughter i would be hurt but that’s a choice that my daughter made. So i don’t want to kick anybody while they’re down”.
So if he wasn’t a black man he’ll speak bad about him 🗿
