As the case against entertainment mogul, Diddy, progresses, DJ Envy has called for fairness and reliance on facts, especially in the course of interactions online.

In the course of an episode of the podcast, The Casey Crew, DJ Envy sat down with his wife, Gia Casey, and they discussed the new allegations made against the rapper.

Gia began the discussion by stating that she isn’t able to cast her “judgment” on what Diddy has been accused of just yet. 

Envy then chimed in, noting that while Diddy is known to be a “freaky” individual, it is unfair for people to convict him before all the evidence is presented and he has a chance to defend himself.

“There’s nothing wrong with being a freaky person. And the fact that he has a thousand bottles of baby oil and lube just means he likes to dish and pop. There’s nothing wrong, nothing illegal about that,” he elaborates.

Envy added that he doesn’t “like the fact that they didn’t give him a bond. He has three kids [four] without a mom right now… He has two twins that are 17 years old who don’t have their dad right now and probably won’t have their dad for the next two years until the trial is over. I feel like he should have gotten a bond and been able to fight this outside.”

Envy went on to say that Harvey Weinstein had a bond, Bill Cosby had a bond, O.J. had a bond, and people could say O.J. ran. 

“He took off, and they chased him, and he still had a bond. Now, in this society, it feels like you’re guilty until you prove yourself innocent, but it should be the other way around,” Envy explained.

He further noted that if Diddy did do the things that those women said he did and those men said that he did, he should go to jail.

Diddy has maintained that he is confident, and his representatives are ready to fight these legal cases in court.

As previously reported, Diddy is currently in federal custody in Brooklyn, awaiting charges related to sex trafficking and racketeering.
