People have been trying to take Diddy down since the 90s and righfully so. R Kelly had a PDF sex tape watched by millions in the early 2000s and it still took 20 years for allegations to stick. For something to reach the Rico scale Im assuming there are orchestrated reasons why it took this long for everything to come out.
They even let R Kelly open the 2002 Winter Olympics WHILE the first rape trial was ongoing.
If you called the FBI in 2002 over "freak offs", they would have hung up.
Knowing someone is dirty is one thing, getting authorities interested and willing to dig deep, is a different story.
And even if they start an investigation, who wants to "snitch" on a sadistic billionaire you have witnessed getting away with murder in a NY Night Club.
I am 100% certain Diddy had his people on the police and DA office as well.
I think there are multiple reasons Diddy is finally going down:
- #metoo happened, this drastically changed the way society looks at sex predators, you can't just settle out of court and continue your career like Michael Jackson did
- Diddy's influence in culture was waning
- he got sloppier and more unhinged as time went on, meanwhile technology improved drastically
- Cassie wasn't just "some girl from the club", her lawsuit had enough weight to tip the scales
Overall, the Diddy case and all the ones that came before (the *steins, Masterson, Nickelodeon etc) are a pretty harsh indictment of 90s culture in general.
