Diddy & J. Cole Connect, Playfully Re-enact Their Infamous Scrap
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Diddy / @diddy Back in 2013, the world took notice of chatter that Diddy and J. Cole got into a bit of a physical kerfuffle at an industry party that thankfully didn’t escalate. Cole, who recently mentioned the moment on a recent track, connected with the original Bad Boy himself with the two playfully reenacting their fight. Diddy posted a photo of the pair presumably on the balcony of a New York City hi-rise building, both decked in summer attire and posing cooly. The following post featured a video of the two hamming it up with the camera, with Diddy putting up his dukes and Cole, taken with laughter, doing the same.

Black Rob’s Former Manager Puts Diddy On Blast For Not Moving Faster
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jamie McCarthy / Getty Even though Diddy has offered to help with Black Rob’s funeral arrangements he is still being criticized. Rob’s former manager has called out the mogul for dragging his feet. As spotted on HipHopDX the Bad Boy Entertainment founder’s loyalty has come into question yet again this week.

Diddy To Help Pay For Black Rob’s Funeral
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jamie McCarthy / Getty Looks like Diddy’s heard all the criticism aimed at him in recent days and is taking some kind of action to quell those angry voices.

50 Cent Shockingly Shrugs Off Diddy Dating His Ex
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: WENN.com / WENN If you don’t know 50 Cent for much more than his slick takes on everyone else’s business, you’ll be floored to find that he had no jabs for Diddy.

Then a year after that, 50 was charged with domestic violence after reportedly tossing her bedroom and kicking her during an altercation. He pleded guilty to the vandalism charge and received three years probation as a sentence. So as online spectators licked their ch...
