- Dep, the recently freed rapper, has expressed uncertainty regarding the sexual abuse allegations leveled against Diddy, his former collaborator and hip-hop mogul.
In a new interview with Fox 5 New York, G. Dep questioned the timing and validity of the accusations against Diddy.
“When? When did that happen?” Dep responded when asked about Diddy’s alleged misconduct. “We were in the studio for months on end with each other. So I don’t know where this is coming from.”
The Bad Boy Records alum emphasized the importance of giving people the benefit of the doubt, stating, “If somebody just saying that you did something, you know, people can say anything.”
Despite the legal cloud hanging over Diddy, G. Dep expressed his eagerness to collaborate with him again, sharing his excitement about returning to the studio.
“I got a lot of songs, bro. I’m looking for you so we can get some type of musical situation going,” Dep said, addressing Diddy directly into the camera.
Reflecting on his time in prison, G. Dep revealed that Diddy never visited him but acknowledged indirect gestures of support from the hip-hop mogul through videos and interviews.
“He reached out to me inadvertently,” G. Dep explained. “Like videos, a couple of interviews, I heard him shout me out. … I couldn’t expect too much from anybody—that wasn’t what type of time that was. I went in there with my own volition.”
