Former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight has accused industry titans of manipulating Sean “Diddy” Combs through drugs and alcohol. Knight, currently serving 28 years in prison for manslaughter, claims that powerful executives introduced Diddy to these substances as a means of control. While Knight also mentioned Usher and Justin Bieber, no specific allegations of abuse have been made against them. The controversial figure’s claims came during a recent interview with Chris Cuomo, conducted from prison.

Suge Knight names figures who controlled ‘Diddy’

Knight told News Nation that artists under his label were only exposed to marijuana, but heavier drug use reportedly became common once they signed with other record companies. In a phone interview with Chris Cuomo from prison, Knight expressed his belief that Diddy may have been a victim of sexual abuse, as the bad boy record producer faces accusations of sex trafficking, racketeering and sexual assault in addition to conducting his notorious ‘freak off’ parties with Hollywood A-listers.

Knight accused executives like Clive Davis, Russell Simmons, and Andre Harrell of using these substances to “control” and compromise the manhood of stars, particularly targeting Diddy. “Those guys … they introduced cocaine to my artists,” Knight told the host during a live call. “So once they got on cocaine, once they got on drugs, once they got on alcohol, then that’s when the weird stuff happened. I think that’s what took Puffy [Combs] down that lane,” he added.
