Before Wendy Williams became a household name with her daytime talk show, she was the go-to gossip queen in the rap world, dishing out the dirt on popular NYC radio stations. It’s no wonder that fans are curious about her take on Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ current legal troubles. Well, folks, the wait is over – Wendy has spoken up, even as she battles her own health issues.
The Daily Mail caught up with her, and she had some eye-opening things to say about the man she’s known for years. “What is really weird is that I have been told by so many people, ‘Wendy, you called it,'” she shared with the British outlet. “Including some people from my family who have said the same.”
Williams – who reassured fans that she’s “doing good” – didn’t hold back when discussing the Cassie assault video. “You know how I feel about that? It is about time. To see this video on TV of [Cassie] getting pummeled… it was just horrific.” She added, “But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women? It’s just so horrible.”
Wendy and Diddy have a complicated history. Back in ’98, rumor has it that Diddy got Wendy fired from her Hot 97 gig. Charlamagne Tha God, Wendy’s former protégé, spilled the tea on the Flagrant podcast. “Wendy’s whole thing was, Diddy was gay,” Charlamagne revealed. “That’s why Wendy got fired from Hot 97. Wendy got fired from Hot 97 by Diddy ’cause that’s when Bad Boy was smoking hot. She got fired for putting that out there.”
Fast forward to 2022, and Diddy’s ex-bodyguard Gene Deal hinted at Diddy’s influence over New York radio stations in an Art of Dialogue interview. “You started the conversation earlier about what did I mean about the power Puff had. With the radio stations in New York? Mother—-ers didn’t breathe hard if Puff didn’t want them to. … Puff got one of the hottest DJs off of Hot 97 because she wanted to put up a picture of him getting his pants pulled down,” Deal claimed.
It’s a wild ride through the world of hip-hop drama, and Wendy’s been there through it all. As we watch these stories unfold, it’s clear that the past has a way of catching up with us. Wendy’s candid words remind us that sometimes, the truth takes time to come out – but it always does.
Adding, “Puff told Hot 97 if they didn’t get rid of her before he got back in New York, that they was not going to get any music from any of his friends, any of the record label executives that was cool with him, everyone was going to boycott their station. We was out in L.A. for about three days; before we landed back in New York, Wendy Williams was in the radio station in Philly. It was over for her. She was fired.”
The story doesn’t end there, folks. As we speak, Diddy’s facing a wave of new allegations. Can you believe it? 100 more people have come forward with abuse claims. It’s like opening Pandora’s box. Meanwhile, Diddy’s legal team is working overtime, pushing for bail. It’s a stark reminder that in the world of fame, what goes around often comes around.
