P Diddy, alias Sean ‘Love’ Combs. The host and executive producer of the 2022 Billboard Music Awards. Came under criticism on the Internet after he backed controversial rapper Travis Scott and disgraced country musician Morgan Wallen.
In an interview with Billboard. The famed hip-hop musician said that the show had been cancelled and that there was no room for judges. A few social media users called the 52-year-old hip-hop icon’s comments “pathetic”. For the uninitiated, this was Travis Scott’s first award show performance since the Astroworld disaster, in which ten people died of compression asphyxia during his performance. Wallen, on the other hand, made news last year after a video of him uttering the n-word became public.
‘Canceling is a trend that needs to stop’

“The atmosphere of the event is about love and forgiveness,” P Diddy said in an interview with Billboard. As a musical family, none of us are saints; none of us are immune to the trials and tribulations of life.” “One of the things I’m doing directly is un-canceling the cancelled,” he added, adding, “That’s breaking news because people haven’t been talking about uncanceling.” However, cancelling is a trend that must be reversed.”
‘Wish the media would cancel P Diddy’
One person commented on P Diddy’s newest words, saying, “P Diddy knew about the Morgan Wallen incident and STILL let him perform in the name of love.” Pathetic.” “I hope the media will cancel P Diddy,” one user said. “How huge of him to be a follower and attempt to ride the wave lmao where was he before smhhhhhh,” said the next. “Yeah, I mean putting P Diddy in charge of producing this and him thinking that it would be his goal to get Morgan Wallen and Travis Scott uncanceled was definitely not a good idea,” one added. “Morgan Wallen and Travis Scott?” concluded another. “I see what P Diddy is up to.”

Yeah I mean putting Diddy in charge of producing this and him deciding that it would be his mission to get Morgan Wallen and Travis Scott uncanceled was probably not a brilliant idea.

I am a second-year journalism student from the school of Mass Communication at KIIT Deemed University, Bhubaneswar. Since I'm pursuing journalism, writing and getting published is my dream job. Due to the fact that my subject's studies are based entirely on my research work and sources, I am able to write informative articles. New writers are worried that the story has been told already, well, it has been, but not by you.
