Patrick Bet-David has discovered the formula for his podcast, and the conversation he uses to carry it out is certain to draw in millions of listeners. It came in an episode with Tyson when the topic of conversation was Diddy’s controversial status in the music industry. The host of the podcast Bet-David mentioned that Diddy was feared by many in Hollywood and suggested he was “untouchable.” As a response, Tyson chuckled and referred to Diddy as “suga diddy.”
Rappers like 50 Cent and TI have publicly criticised Diddy, as Bet-David pointed out in the past. He asked about Tyson’s opinion on Diddy and any interactions he had with the rapper. Prior to Diddy’s rise to fame, Tyson claimed to have known him for a very long time In his words, “I knew him before he was um Diddy and for a long time. When I first became champ I knew him. I remember him he used to have crates when he’s at my After parties and stuff. Also when they were throwing parties,” Tyson said.
When Bet-David asked if this was around the time Diddy founded Bad Boy Records, Tyson clarified that Diddy, Damon Dash and others weren’t well-known yet. “I was like the First Street guy that really got on… I’m the first of all of our generation of that kind of that cruise you know. The street houses that really blew up like that,” Tyson said.
Tyson’s remarks reveal his close relationship with Diddy and imply that the music mogul’s reputation as a guy to be feared in the business was unjustified. What’s more, Tyson’s account seems to disprove suspicions that Diddy was responsible for the unexplained death of Tupac in 1996, during the height of the East Coast-West Coast hip hop rivalry. Tyson claims that he was acquainted with Diddy at the time as a promoter and owner of a record label, not as a person involved in Tupac’s death.
