Chaos erupted again last night (Aug. 18) in Ferguson, Missouri, with peaceful protests about the death of Michael Brown turning into violent battles between upset citizens, journalists and the police. The entire country is carefully watching the news each night as violence erupts, as President Barack Obama attempts to keep the peace between those in power and those who are upset. But, hip-hop mogul Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs doesn't think it's enough, and he called out the POTUS on Instagram last night with an outraged video as he watched the news.
"I'm watching this s--t. Yo, look at this s--t, man," Combs exclaimed. "This s--t ain't right. A-yo, Obama, for real. Obama, get on a plane. It's serious. These are your people, baby. These are your people."
Combs then encouraged his 3.9 million Instagram followers to do the same by captioning the photo with an all-caps plea: "WATCH DIS! DEAR PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!! IF YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY SEND A VIDEO MESSAGE TO THE PRESIDENT #DEAROBAMA."

Combs is just the latest musician to speak out on the police brutality in Ferguson. Rapper J. Cole released a new song "Be Free" inspired by Brown's death and later visited the St. Louis suburb. Other rappers have also spoken out about the unrest and attacks on citizens, including Childish Gambino, Nelly, Frank Ocean, Questlove and more.
