Former Death Row CEO Suge Knight claims that Sean "Diddy" Combs has been an FBI informant for several years.
Knight made the allegation during the latest episode of the Collect Call With Suge Knight podcast, which was released Thursday (June 6).
At first, Knight just mentions Combs, who he identifies by his old nickname "Puffy," in passing before focusing on the embattled hip-hop mogul.
"It's a lot of things that people been knowing, and everybody gets judged differently," Knight said. "It shouldn't be a grey area when it comes to doing something right, doing something positive, or doing something for the community. That being said, naturally, Puffy been an FBI informant forever, as they would say. That's why it's different when it comes to him."
"Regardless of who gets hurt, all everybody been saying is 'Puffy, Puffy, Puffy.' I think they shouldn't all blame everything on Puffy. His exes in the industry knew about it. Everybody in his crew knew about it. The bitches he dates knew about it. Everybody knew about it. So don't push away from it now."
Knight's FBI informant claim would seem to be at odds with the fact that Combs' properties in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by federal agents in March, as part of an ongoing investigation into sex trafficking.
Although Knight has trolled his archrival in the past, it appears that the imprisoned hip-hop kingpin has some empathy for Combs as he faces his own set of legal problems and lawsuits.
"My first reaction, it's not the reaction I thought I would have when it came to Puffy. I thought it'd be a reaction like he got what he got coming 'cause everybody knows what's been going on," Knight says in the new documentary TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy, now streaming via Tubi.
"My reaction was actually different because the first thing that came to my mind was: he has his sons, he has his daughters. My reaction was first about the kids. The thing is, I feel it's a bad day for Hip Hop. It's a bad day for the culture because it makes us all look bad," Knight adds.
"I'm not the type of guy to cheer for other people's downfall," he continues. "If somebody got killed or something happens to them, then I'm not going to pop champagne bottles. If I have a problem with Puffy, that's for he and I to sit down in a room and resolve it.
"So for the tragedy on both sides, to the victims, to him, that's definitely nothing to cheer about."
