Despite Diddy’s mounting legal troubles, the embattled mogul’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star is reportedly here to stay.
TMZ reported on Saturday (May 25) that a spokesperson for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce said the council was unable to make changes to remove the “Bad Boys” founder’s star.
The report explains that the chamber is able to “nominate star recipients, fabricate and install the star with city approval, and conduct a Walk of Fame installation ceremony, but does not have the authority to remove it.”
Even as the entrepreneur increasingly questions the law, he still seems defiant.
Earlier this week, the “I’m Gonna Miss You” rapper reportedly told at least one close friend that there was a larger “agenda” surrounding the release of a video of the mogul’s then-girlfriend Cassie’s 2016 viral attack ”.
A source close to Diddy told the New York Post that the embattled mogul was outraged by the release of the clip and insisted it only told half the story.
“He was angry,” the source told the outlet. “Especially about the video. He insists it doesn’t tell the full story of what happened. He’s not excusing it, but saying it’s a selection.
“His position was that there was an agenda when the video was released. But ultimately, he knew his biggest fear was that his house was being attacked; Cassie’s video was just a distraction.
The source’s claim is supported by the fact that Diddy’s pinned tweet was a statement from December 2023 calling his accusers (presumably including Cassie) “people looking for a quick payday,” While insisting he “didn’t do anything terrible” he was accused of.
