Suge Knight doesn’t think Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs should go to prison
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is currently on trial for sex trafficking, but Suge Knight believes he should walk away a free man. The Death Row co-founder shared his thoughts on Combs’ situation during an interview from behind bars.
Knight claimed Combs shouldn’t take the fall when many other people in the music industry will allegedly get away with their illegal actions.
“I say this all the time, Puffy and I are not friends, but Puffy should definitely walk free,” he said on Cuomo. “The most important thing is that it was other executives that was involved in Puff’s life. And for Puffy to be the only guy that gets on the stand is a sad day for hip-hop.
“I don’t think this is a case where Puffy should be going to prison. How could every person who’s involved with Puffy not on the stand except for Puffy? At some point, the law gotta be blind.”
He added, “We just can’t jump to conclusions and say, ‘Throw Puffy under the bus.’ Like I said, him and I are not friends, but Puffy definitely should walk. What’s right is right, wrong is wrong.”
This isn’t the first time Knight has addressed Combs’ legal battles. He previously claimed that if he is sentenced, he thinks President Donald Trump will pardon him.
“I think he’s got some favours with the government,” he said. “I think they’re gonna show him a little leeway. It might not seem like it when it’s all said and done, but I don’t think he has nothing to worry about, and I don’t think he’s worried because he’s gonna be federal, and if he gets convicted, Trump’s gonna pardon him.”
Concluding, “I still feel that Puffy is going to be alright and have a fair shot at it. He’s not a not a dummy. And I’m quite sure somebody going to talk to those jurors and convince one or two of them. That’s all you need, is one.”
