It’s more complicated.
Diddy’s job was to create the illusion that Black billionaires exist & were created through hard work & business expertise.
Once he went at Comcast & Diageo, he violated the contract. And his protection was a part of that contract.
Going at these…
Uncle Luke says, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you," and suggests that Diddy suing the multi-billion dollar liquor company Diageo is why he's being targeted by the feds for sex trafficking.
