Dr Dre Abuse Victim Dee Barnes Addresses Diddy And Cassie Footage

Dee Barnes is one of the loudest voices when it comes to domestic abuse in hip-hop. She was assaulted by Dr Dre during a 1991 party, and subsequently sued the rapper. He pleased no contest, and went on to have a relatively unscathed career despite his crimes. Dee Barnes is revered for her bravery and her willingness to discuss her experiences. This made her uniquely qualified to speak on the recently released footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway.

Barnes, a former rapper and journalist, shared her thoughts via social media. She made it clear that she was horrified by what she saw on the security footage, as it reminded her of the ordeal she went through decades ago. “Seeing that video is extremely triggering,” she wrote on X. “Dr. Dre punched, slammed, kicked and stomped me out. #Concussion.” Barnes then said that she was getting off social media due to the widespread exposure the footage received. “Logging tf off.”

Dee Barnes Described Diddy’s Behavior As Disgusting

Dee Barnes did, however, return to X the evening of May 19 to voice her support for Cassie. She also made sure to call out Diddy for his horrible actions. “I’m disgusted and disappointed with Sean Combs,” she tweeted. “I stand with #Cassie, #KimPorter and all the other victims of his violent abuse.” This was tweeted shortly after Diddy issued a public apology in the form of an Instagram video. The mogul tried to address the assault footage and the other crimes he’s been accused of, but the response to the apology has been overwhelmingly negative.

Barnes was similarly skeptical when Dr. Dre issued a public apology in 2015. The producer addressed his violent past during a profile with the New York Times, and claimed he had changed in the ensuring years. “I was a young man drinking too much and in over my head with no real structure in my life,” he claimed. However, none of this is an excuse for what I did… I’m doing everything I can so I never resemble that man again.” Barnes responded to the apology with a curt: “I hope he means it.”

Azealia Banks Asks Kendrick Lamar Why He Let 6ix9ine Say The N-Word

Azealia Banks does not like Kendrick Lamar. She’s been one of the most vocal critics of the Compton rapper during his battle with Drake. She thinks Lamar is wildly overrated, and has repeatedly accused him of being “obsessed” with Drake. The battle between the two rappers came to an end (for now, at least), with many declaring Lamar the winner. This has not stopped Banks from continuing to hate on social media, however. She sent another shot K. Dot’s way on May 20, and it had to do with one of his major Drake critiques.

Lamar attacked Drake’s use of the N-word on his diss, “Euphoria.” The song even ended with the refrain: “We don’t wanna hear you say n**ga no more.” Banks took this talking point and turned it against Lamar by pointing out his unwillingness to gate keep the word from other rappers. Particularly those who aren’t African American, like Six9ine. “Sidebar tho…. deadasss….,” she wrote. “Where was Kendrick when there was a gay Mexican in a rainbow lacefront running around saying n**ga?? Lmao.”

Azealia Banks Calls Kendrick Lamar A Hypocrite

Banks went on to claim that Lamar doesn’t have the number of classic songs that Drake does. “Do Kendrick know he doesn’t have a ‘oh you fancy huh,’ nor a ‘passionfruit,’ or anything but small sneaker rage to give us LOL,” she added. But wait, there was more. In a second tweet, the “212” rapper poked fun at Kendrick Lamar further by claiming he has a crush on Drake. “What’s reallllllllllllly behind the beef??,” she asked. “Who got a crush on who?”

Azealia Banks isn’t the first person to point out 6ix9ine’s frequent use of the N-word. Charlamagne tha God questioned 6ix9ine on the topic during a Breakfast Club interview, and the rapper felt that he had a right to say it because it was part of his upbringing. “It’s the way I talk,” he asserted. “You know what I’m saying? It’s not like oh sh*t I’m not African American, I’m not dark skin I can not say this, I can’t say it… It’s just vocabulary.” Ironically, 6ix9ine has been charged for exhibiting the same predatory behavior that Lamar accused Drake of on “Not Like Us.”

Cam’ron Calls Out CNN Reporter For Asking Him About Diddy

Cam’ron just blessed CNN viewers with one of the most bizarre interviews in recent memory. The rapper went on to discuss the footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie, but the longer the interview went, the more he became annoyed with the reporter. It got so awkward between Cam and the reporter that the former actually looked offscreen and asked how he got booked for the interview in the first place.

Cam’ron has an increased media profile thanks to his podcast with Mase, It Is What It Is. The duo talked about the Diddy and Cassie situation on the air, but the rapper did not seem thrilled to be rehashing it by himself on CNN. He made it clear that he didn’t condone Diddy’s actions in the video. “Everything in the video is egregious,” he noted. “I’m against. So when I saw the video I was kinda upset being that I know him.” Cam’ron clarified that he does not consider Diddy to be a friend or a close associate.

Cam’ron Didn’t Like The Reporter’s Tone

The rapper was asked if he was surprised by the Diddy footage based on his personal experiences. He did not appreciate this line of questioning. “I didn’t know him like that,” he added. “What you mean my experiences? I seen him and I thought it was disgusting.” Cam’ron’s agitation seemingly grew with each subsequent question.

The reported brought up Diddy’s history of mistreating his artists, and Cam’ron made her wait while he drank his Pink Horse Power sex supplement. He then redirected the question to his pod partner, Mase, citing that most of what he heard about Diddy came through him. “I appreciate what Mase said,” he clarified. “And that’s my brother.”

Cam tried to plug his podcast, but the wheels didn’t come off until the end. The reporter noted that Diddy would not have been able to get away with his crimes unless people protected him in the industry. She asked if Cam agreed with this, and he decided he’d had enough. “Who the talent agent for this joint,” he retorted. “You think I be sitting around… watching what Diddy do.” He then looked offscreen and asked: “Who booked me for this joint?” Things wrapped up then and there. The reporter thanked Cam’ron for his time, and it’s safe to assume he won’t be returning to the network anytime soon.

Julia Fox Criticizes Diddy After He Releases Assault Video Apology

Julia Fox is not afraid to speak her mind. The actress and model has developed a reputation for making lots of controversial public statements. Her stance on the Diddy and Cassie situation, however, places her firmly in the majority. She was approached by TMZ reporters on May 20, and she made it clear that she was horrified by the footage CNN released. She condemned Diddy’s actions outright, despite the fact that the disgraced mogul recently issued an apology on social media.

The exchange between Fox and reporters was mainly focused on the actress’ recent comments on celibacy. She asserted that focusing on one’s goals over sexual conquests will result in a happier life. “Just focus on yourself, prioritize yourself,” she explained. “And you’ll see that once you decenter men, then everything you want in life will come true.” It was when she got into her vehicle that the topic then shifted to the Diddy and Cassie footage.

Julia Fox Called Diddy’s Behavior “Disgusting”

Fox was asked point blank what she thought about the footage of Diddy physically assaulting Cassie, and she described it as “disgusting.” She also voiced her support for the R&B singer. “My heart goes out to Cassie,” she told TMZ. Julia Fox has spoken out against men using their influence to hide their crimes in the past. The actress claimed that she was drugged and assaulted by a billionaire in her memoir, Down the Drain. She detailed an incident in which she was invited on a private jet, and given champagne. Fox then stated that she woke up next to the unnamed billionaire, with no recollection of how she got there.

Fox added that the lack of evidence, and the way other famous women had been treated when they came forward, led to her not taking legal action. “I don’t know if I would,” she wrote. “And then go to battle, have years of my life taken away, and have to relive it? We’ve literally seen what happens, with Amber Heard. It’s like: is it worth it at the end of the day.”
