What "burns" me is that this was pretty much well known anyway? The dude was into real heavy shit since the 90s who is exactly surprised by this?

This is just from mild surface level wikipedia: "In his college days, Combs had a reputation for throwing parties, some of which attracted up to a thousand participants.[34] Usher, who lived with Combs for a year in New York City when he was 13 years old, told Howard Stern in 2016 that Combs's lifestyle was "pretty wild" during that time.[35] In 1991, Combs promoted an AIDS fundraiser with Heavy D held at the City College of New York (CCNY) gymnasium, following a charity basketball game. The event was oversold, and a stampede occurred in which nine people died.[36]"

He was openly acused by Tupac of being involved in his assassination attempt, his protege Notorious BIG was killed as well, like... that's a criminal, all these years I just assumed he got connection, kept it lowprofile and was rich enough to avoid attention... which is pretty much what it was up until now for some reason.

Diddy also blew up Kid Cudi's car back in 2012 over some drama. That was a real ass assassination attempt.
