Rap mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is under fire from Voletta Wallace, mother of the late Notorious B.I.G., amid multiple sexual assault lawsuits.
Voletta, 71, unleashed her outrage in an explosive Rolling Stone interview, citing disturbing footage of Combs beating ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016. “I’m sick to my stomach. I’m praying for Cassie. I’m praying for his mother,” she said.
Voletta Wallace fiercely criticized Sean “Diddy” Combs, referencing the video.
“I’m struggling to accept the horrific allegations, but the evidence is undeniable,” Wallace stated. “I implore him to take responsibility and make amends with his victim.”
She further emphasized her outrage, saying:
“I long for the day I confront Sean, and when that moment arrives, the only thing I desire is to slap the daylights out of him. And you can quote me on that.”
Combs, 54, has kept a low profile since March, when Homeland Security launched a sex-trafficking investigation and raided his mansions.
Voletta’s sentiments also stem from her son’s tumultuous past with Combs. The Notorious B.I.G. joined Combs’ Bad Boy Records in 1993, but sources claim Combs was jealous of Biggie’s friendship with Tupac Shakur.
Hip-hop photographer Monique Bunn revealed Combs tried befriending Tupac, only to be met with disdain. “Tupac had no respect for [Combs], thought he was corny.”
Tragedy struck when both rappers were gunned down within six months of each other at ages 24 and 25. Biggie planned to leave Bad Boy Entertainment before his death, Monique claimed.
Voletta has long accused Combs of exploiting her son’s legacy. In her 2005 autobiography ‘Biggie’, she wrote, “My son was part of a high-stakes game and didn’t know the rules… I’m glad he doesn’t have to witness that the very people he thought he could ride and die with wouldn’t think twice about using his mother.”
Reiterating her distrust, Voletta stated, “I used to tell Christopher all the time not to trust Sean… I’m convinced [Combs] only loved my son after he was dead.”
Combs’ representatives remain silent on Wallace’s statements and the ongoing allegations.
