Akon offered his thoughts on the tumultuous situations engulfing business mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs amidst the swirling allegations he is facing in multiple civil suits for sexual assault.
Diddy is also reportedly being investigated by Homeland Security for sexual trafficking. Last month, agents with HSI raided Diddy’s mansions in New York, Miami and Los Angeles.
Akon said he wasn’t involved with the active party scene, indicating his limited direct knowledge of Diddy’s personal strife.
“I don’t really party much, so I couldn’t really speak much on it, but I would like to say, you know, just pray for the man,” Akon stated, providing a tempered perspective on the realities of fame and public scrutiny.
Even though Diddy has not been charged with a crime as of press time, he has pretty much been convicted on social media as people debate his innocence or guilt, something Akon lamented.
Akon remarked, “It is very unfortunate that things in this business are always being exposed in certain ways, and I think things could be done differently.”
Highlighting the role of divine intervention and the inevitable unveiling of truth, Akon expressed a philosophical take on the unfolding situations.
“All I can do is say, you know, I hope things work out for all the for everybody… it’s a God’s plan. I think you just got to allow this process to just play itself out,” he reflected, touching on the notion that the ultimate resolution lies beyond human control.
Akon is not the only artist who has looked to the Lord in support of Diddy’s plight. Fat Joe recently vocalized his prayers for Diddy during an emotional time.
“I stood up last night maybe 4 hours praying for [Diddy] and his kids,” Fat Joe shared.
