Ice Cube recently weighed in the controversy surrounding Diddy and stated that he feels like he’s being targeted.
Just recently, NBC News reported that Diddy, the founder of Bad Boy Records, was under federal investigation. During the same week, there were reports that Diddy was attempting to sell his Los Angeles mansion for $70 million. Earlier this year, federal raids were conducted on Diddy’s properties in Miami and Los Angeles. These events occurred while the 54-year-old was facing numerous assault allegations and was making headlines for such incidents.

While speaking on the PND Podcast, West Coast rapper, Ice Cube shared his thoughts on the whole situation and explained he thinks the mogul is being targeted.
“I don’t know enough to be specific about any of this stuff it’s just all speculation. I just know he was cool up until a point and then this stuff started happening so I believe somebody said ‘Yo he’s our new we’re on to this year.’
As we all know, the accusations against Combs have escalated since last November, when his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a significant lawsuit alleging sexual assault, coercion, domestic violence, and other forms of abuse. Combs reached a settlement with Ventura the day after she filed the lawsuit, although he refuted the accusations. Subsequently, more women came forward with lawsuits, seemingly encouraged by Ventura’s claims. Combs has also denied these additional allegations.
The disclosure of security footage referenced in Ventura’s lawsuit unsettled those who had previously supported Combs’s assertions of innocence: the footage, captured in 2016, showed Combs pushing and hitting Ventura as she attempted to flee a hotel room.
