In the often murky waters of the music industry, secrets lie just below the surface, like hushed whispers swirling in the undercurrent. One of these whispers, persisting for over two decades, concerns Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, infamous for being implicated in the murder of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur. As various voices, including the likes of Eminem and seasoned detectives, have stoked this controversy, a fresh perspective emerges, that of a formidable figure from the same era – Mike Tyson.

On a recent episode of the PBD Podcast, the former heavyweight champion unveils a side of Diddy few have glimpsed. He speaks not of a man shrouded in controversy, but of a friend known before the fame, before the accusations, and before he was ‘Diddy’.

Is there anything you have opinions on Diddy? Have you had any experiences with Diddy?”

In response, Tyson said, “No I just know him for a long time.” When further queried about their relationship, Tyson portrayed ‘Diddy’ as an “awesome guy.” He recalled, “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.”

At this juncture, Bet-David confirmed if this was the time ‘Diddy’ was the CEO and founder of ‘Bad Boy Records’. Tyson responded, “Well I don’t think he was a bad boy yet. It was him, Damon Dash, and all those guys. They weren’t on 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.”
