In a recent interview, Ice Cube voiced his belief that music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is being unfairly targeted amidst his ongoing legal troubles. The conversation took place during an episode of the PBD Podcast, hosted by Patrick Bet-David, which was uploaded on YouTube on July 15, 2024. The interview covered a wide range of topics, including Ice Cube’s early career, his relationship with Tupac Shakur, and eventually, Diddy’s current legal challenges.
Ice Cube Reflects on Working with Diddy
Ice Cube recalled his past collaborations with Diddy, noting their professional interactions during the production of his “War & Peace” album. “He produced a few records or had his producers do a few records on my War & Peace album,” Ice Cube shared. “We flew out to New York, and I was mainly in the studio with his stable of producers.” Despite their positive working relationship, Ice Cube made it clear that he had never attended any of the notorious parties associated with Diddy and had not maintained contact with him since the mid-90s.

Addressing the Allegations
When asked about Diddy’s recent legal issues, Ice Cube expressed his lack of surprise, citing the unpredictable nature of the hip-hop industry. “How could you be surprised with anything that happens in Hip-Hop? Hip-Hop is the Wild West, so you are going to have the good, you’re going to have the bad. You’re going to have the ugly,” he remarked.

However, Ice Cube also suggested that there might be more to the situation than just Diddy’s actions. He speculated that Diddy is being targeted by powerful individuals. “I believe he’s being targeted,” Ice Cube stated. “I believe someone has the power to pull the trigger to make this stuff, this domino effect, happen.” He admitted that he hadn’t done extensive research on the allegations but felt that Diddy’s troubles seemed orchestrated to some extent.
The Legal Storm Surrounding Diddy
Diddy’s legal issues have escalated dramatically, with multiple women coming forward to accuse him of sexual assault. Federal agents recently raided his homes in Miami and Los Angeles, uncovering evidence that could further implicate him. Diddy is currently facing at least seven sexual assault cases, with charges ranging from sexual misconduct to rape.
His reputation took a significant hit when his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against him in November 2023, accusing him of rape, physical abuse, and sex trafficking. Although Diddy settled the suit a day later, the damage was done, and other alleged victims began to speak out. Consequently, Diddy is now dealing with multiple lawsuits and a reported sex-trafficking investigation.

Public and Professional Backlash
The backlash has been swift and severe. After graphic footage of Diddy physically harming Cassie was released by CNN in May 2023, several honors were stripped from him, including his honorary degree from Howard University and the key to the city of New York. Despite publicly apologizing to Cassie on Instagram in a since-deleted video, the criticism has not abated.
Adding to his woes, Diddy was called out by Vibe’s former Editor-in-Chief, Danyel Smith, in a New York Times essay. She revealed that Diddy had allegedly threatened her after she refused to alter his cover photo for the magazine’s December 1997/January 1998 issue.

Plenty of people going to make negative comments, but haven't watched the entire interview. Cube never said he wasn't guilty because he doesn't know, but of course Diddy is now being targeted. It doesn't mean he's innocent.

Listen to the entire interview, he is implying that diddy is not the head of the snake and is being used as a deflection. Similar to Epstein. To keep from looking deeper into the situation. Smh

Ice Cube’s Perspective
While Ice Cube distanced himself from specific allegations and the rumors surrounding Diddy’s behavior, he remained firm in his belief that Diddy is being targeted by forces beyond his control. “I just know he was cool up until a point, and then this stuff started happening,” Ice Cube explained. “So I believe somebody said, ‘Yo, he’s our new guy we’re on this year,’ or whatever.”
As Diddy navigates these tumultuous times, the music industry and the public continue to watch closely. Whether Diddy is indeed being targeted or simply facing the consequences of his actions, the situation underscores the complex and often dark underbelly of the entertainment world.
