Sean "Diddy" Combs is under fire again after a TikTok video claimed people were paid $20 an hour to wear "Free Diddy" shirts and protest outside his New York trial. Rapper 50 Cent piled on, calling the move "diabolical." This comes as Diddy faces serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, stemming from a lawsuit filed by his ex-partner Cassie Ventura.

What This Mean: This isn’t just tabloid gossip—it’s a bizarre twist in an already grim legal saga. If true, paying protesters undermines genuine public support and makes Diddy’s situation look even more desperate. It also raises questions about how far celebrities might go to sway public opinion when the stakes are this high. For fans and critics alike, it’s another reason to watch this case closely.
