Suge Knight said that Diddy will drop names of celebrities if he ever takes the stand in his federal trial.
Speaking on Aubrey O’Day’s Covering The Diddy Trial, O’Day asked if the Bad Boy Records founder would agree to testify in court.
“He might be stupid sometimes, but he’s not dumb,” Knight said. “If they give Puffy the opportunity to humanize himself, it’ll be the best thing for the culture of hip-hop. It’ll be one of the biggest power moves of the US.”
“They shouldn’t let him get washed up,” Knight continued. “Does he deserve to get something? He deserves to get something. I don’t think they should give him a lot of time. Let’s be honest.”
As the interview went on, Knight made it clear that he wants Diddy to take the stand.
“Cut the deal first,” Knight said. “Get a situation where, wherever you say on the stand, they use against you. When you get on that stand, fix hip-hop, fix the culture of our people.”
Knight’s comments come after he recently said that watching Diddy physically abuse Cassie Ventura “disturbed” him and that he deserves to be in jail for incident.
“I never said he should walk away a free man. He does deserve [prison],” Knight said. “I don’t mean like… ‘Oh, you beat the shit out of Cassie, so, oh well.’ No, she’s a woman. You should never disrespect a woman like that […] I think everyone should be held accountable — even myself. I don’t care who it is. Anybody who does those horrible things to women deserves their issue.”
