Inside The Rubble Of Diddy's Empire

Correction: This video incorrectly states the date of the federal agents’ raids of Sean Combs' homes as April 2023. The raids took place in March of 2024.
Sean Combs was once on a glide path to becoming a billionaire. But as sexual assault allegations and civil lawsuits mount, business partners have fled and his brands have become increasingly worthless. And the worst news may be yet to come.
Given the severity of those civil cases and a looming federal investigation reportedly into human trafficking, Combs now faces an existential threat to his freedom and his fortune.

Justice for Kim Porter 🕯

[@taytayrazors9033]

💪🏾✊🏾✊🏾

[@s_h_a_w_n_d_a8903]

Absolutely!! 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️❤️🙏🏽

[@awatkins8429]

I’m sure since Kim has three children and a bonus child with this man, she doesn’t want to see him destroyed. That will greatly impact her children mentally, emotionally and definitely financially. From all accounts, she was a levelheaded and loving woman. This is NOT what Kim Porter would want.

[@dwanacalhoun6281]

I respectfully disagree. And Diddy 👿 order a customized coffin ⚰️ for 😢 Kim 🕊️ 3 weeks prior to poisoning her.

[@awatkins8429]

@@dwanacalhoun6281 puffy said himself that around the time of her passing, she begged him to take care of her “babies“. Well obviously, if he is destroyed by imprisonment and financial ruin, that’s not going to happen. So again, this is not what Kim would want.

Forbes will say anyone is a billionaire if they pay them lol!

[@donnieloupo]

Did you watch the article? It says they had Diddy at 700 million and he told them he was already worth a billion and they said it was no prof of that? So y didn’t Diddy pay them then? This whole video is a hit job!!! If he sold Deleon got 200Ms sold revolt how does he only have 200 in cash? That’s not counting the 90Ms Forbes said he made last year or the 100s of millions he already had!!!! Make it make cents??? I know it’s sense btw but we talkn money anyway make it make cents I’m waiting…..

[@donnieloupo]

This video said Diddy made almost a billion from 2007 till now? Than what about what he made from 93 to 2007 when he was at the height of hip hop?

[@blackwealthteam]

His empire wasn't built on solid ground. He was a pitchman for these companies who wanted black dollars. True ownership can never be taken away. For example, if he owned Ciroc he could go direct to consumers. As far as his reputation, People forgive and forget over time.

[@MsaAli-zy4vx]

Diddy did something that most dream of achieving. A nearly impossible task especially for a black man or anyone.
