Former associate alleges Diddy targeted by 'the big dogs': "It's bigger than what it seems"

Diddy is set to face trial this year on serious charges, as his former associate speaks out about the accusations.

Diddy is awaiting trial this year after being arrested in September 2024 on charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. Meanwhile, Chopper, a former member of Diddy’s Da Band, discussed the legal issues during an interview with The Art of Dialogue on January 7, 2025.

Chopper, also known as Kevin Barnes, commented on the risks faced by wealthy men living freely, stating, "If you fly a female from one state to you for a prede session of having sex with her, things don't go right, you will get charged with sex trafficking. So I want to let you know that you dig. I didn't know that, you heard me."

He expressed disbelief over the accusations against Diddy, also known as Sean "Love" Combs, and suggested that black individuals are often unfairly targeted in similar situations. Referring to the allegations, Chopper said, "I think it's a money pit. And I think it's bigger than what it seems. I think more like the big dogs is smashing his twin towers. I don't quite think he has nothing to do with what they making it. I think it's the big dogs, as they said 'all right, let's get him out of here.' And I think that's what's going on. I think he bit the hand that fed him."

Chopper described Diddy’s legal troubles as a "double-edged sword," explaining that while the rapper did controversial things to the artists under his label, these actions weren’t intended to lead to such accusations. He referred to Sean's behavior as "diabolical" but stopped short of supporting the allegations.

Diddy’s legal challenges have been the subject of significant media coverage and will feature in an upcoming documentary, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, set to premiere on January 14, 2025. The documentary’s trailer was released on January 3, 2025.
