Busta Rhymes had two things to say about Diddy's sex trafficking arrest in a recent interview: One, it has nothing to do with Hip Hop as a whole and two, people should stop giving their opinions.
"His situation is not a Hip Hop situation," Busta told Extra. "And I also would like for everyone to be mindful of the thirst and the urgency and the need to speak on the situation. I think a lot of times, people don’t realize how insensitive it could be to have opinions on things that you have no understanding of outside of what you’re being told."
Busta followed that up by saying propaganda is a real thing and so is the truth. Thus, he chooses not to pass judgment on Diddy until all of the facts in his case have been corroborated.
"We kind of like confuse ourselves, prematurely pass judgment, and we're not realizing how much we can directly and indirectly affect everyone involved with our unwarranted opinions," Busta explained.
What do you think changed in society where it's now commonplace to say someone is guilty of a crime before seeing any hard evidence?
