Kelly Price insisted she was urging Diddy to “do the soul work” after he apologized following the publication of the disturbing video. 

Kelly Price is clarifying her remarks after facing intense backlash for her response to Diddy’s recent apology video. 

Social media users blasted the singer after she offered up prayers for her former collaborator following his response to the video published by CNN over the weekend. The harrowing footage showed Diddy chasing his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura down a hotel hallway before brutally assaulting her.  

On Sunday evening (May 19), Price took to Instagram Live to address “those who misconstrued, misinterpreted or just chose to put words in my mouth.” 

“I have not spoken about any of this stuff since it’s come out. I don’t stand with anything that is criminal. None of us can unsee what we saw,” she said during the livestream. 

Price insisted she urged Diddy to “do the soul work,” because she believed he “would hear it.” She also claimed that everybody has the capacity “to go to a dark enough place to do some very horrible things.” 

Price continued in the caption, “ I won’t let anyone call me out for something I didn’t do. I can’t offer redemption, forgiveness or Grace because my name is Kelly, not Jesus. “ 

Price elaborated on her “soul work” comment, claiming Diddy needs “Therapy+Jesus.” She concluded, “What happens legally is up to the people who have that authority.”
