It’s been a tough year for the rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who was arrested and held without bail on 16 September for allegedly operating a s-x trafficking enterprise. News of the arrest and piles of accusations against him got social media into a frenzy. Fans have been combing the internet for additional information on the rapper.
The wild allegations against him were many, including the one where the authorities allegedly seized 1000 bottles of baby oil from his place. Recently an old video of the Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down singer appearing on the Ellen Show has resurfaced. In the clip, Combs seemingly tried to justify helping his fellow singer, Chris Brown right after the latter was accused of allegedly abusing his then-girlfriend. But the host was having none of that and put her foot down standing up to the rapper.

And it’s my house. And I’m allowed to give my house to whoever I wanna give my house to, that’s number one. Number two is, that I’m the type of person that — I don’t cast a stone. I don’t cast a judgment on anybody.
He further tried to defend himself by stating he wasn’t aware of the reality of the abuse. In conclusion the musician didn’t mind helping out his fellow singer who was accused of abuse.
