WHAT DID'DY DO?

Dearest Readers,

The deeper I go, the messier it gets. This story is like one of those nights that start off glamorous, only to end in unanswered questions and regrets—and we’re far from the morning after. While Diddy might be the face of this unfolding scandal, there’s no empire built alone. Behind the glitz and music is a network of people—power players who were there for the rise, and now? Well, they might just be part of the fall.

What started with whispers about racketeering and private “Freak Off” parties has morphed into an all-encompassing probe into the relationships that sustained Diddy’s reign. In part one, we explored some familiar faces from Bad Boy Entertainment and the personal circle that kept Diddy grounded—or, perhaps, untouchable. Today, let’s pivot to business partners and nightlife figures. These are the people who moved the money, shook the champagne bottles, and knew exactly how to play both sides of the velvet rope.

The truth is, when people party together, they form bonds—and when the music stops, it’s those bonds that often hold the answers. So buckle up. Here’s a deeper dive into 10 more names in Diddy’s orbit, with a closer look at why they’re on my radar.

21. Clive Davis –

If there’s a godfather of the music business, it’s Clive Davis. His relationship with Diddy has been more than friendly—he was instrumental in helping Diddy expand his empire beyond the confines of hip-hop. Given his clout, Davis is likely privy to the deals and dynamics that shaped Diddy’s career—and possibly the ones that are now raising red flags.
