Word on the street is that videos cost people quite a lot of money.
We already know Diddy has money. He handed Cassie a cool $20 million to settle a massive civil lawsuit in less than 24 hours. He allegedly dropped over $100,000 just to keep a video of him assaulting Ventura from ever seeing daylight. So yeah, he’s got the bag.
But I’m hearing there’s a different kind of debt floating around. It’s not the flashy kind you throw at lawyers and lawsuits. This one is older, quieter and still very real. I normally wouldn’t say much, but the whispers are getting louder. The rumors are circling and it’s time to let them breathe.

I’m being purposely vague. Diddler allegedly owes some people money. Some of those people have given up trying to collect because too much time has passed and they never saw a dime. But others? They haven’t forgotten. Word is, some folks are waiting for any sign of financial movement like any leftover scraps after the flood of lawsuits. If there is, they will pounce with their own legal action, according to my sources. The sexual misconduct cases are stacking up, but none of these involve “freak-offs.”
Now here’s the part that got my ears wide open: a certain Hip-Hop collective is claiming that Diddy owes them money. They were street-heavy in their prime but have since cleaned up, grown up and, allegedly, are ready to take the legal route. That said, I wouldn’t be shocked if they chose a different path either. Given all the stories swirling around Diddy, they might be wise to stay lawful.

But it’s wild when you really think about it. Could this have been a flex? Like, Diddy gets some services—maybe creative work, label help, even some kind of consulting—and just decides not to pay? That’s a deranged power move? In some cases, we’re talking a few thousand dollars, maybe tens of thousands. Nothing crazy for someone of his caliber. But when you stiff someone for that kind of money, it’s not about the dollars—it’s about the disrespect. The people owed really needed and were owed the money.
As for the label-related debt? That sounds like real money, but I don’t know the exact figures. It’s all rumor and speculation, but it definitely raises eyebrows.
Diddy’s got more legal smoke coming, and this fire isn’t dying out anytime soon. His ongoing trial is expected to stretch on for at least another month, maybe longer. In the meantime, those old debts may finally come knocking.
Who remember this?
