Iconic TV personality Wendy Williams, known for her unfiltered opinions, is back in the spotlight with a bold prediction about music mogul Diddy.
Speaking on The Breakfast Club on Thursday, January 16, she shared updates on her life while revisiting her decades-old feud with Diddy.
Williams called into the show hosted by her long-time friend and former staff member, Charlamagne Tha God. During the conversation, Charlamagne mentioned that Diddy played a role in Wendy’s dismissal from New York’s Hot 97 radio station in the late 1990s.
When asked about Diddy’s current legal troubles, Wendy Williams made her stance clear, saying she believes the music mogul will face a life sentence.
Reflecting on her experiences and what she has observed in the media, Wendy suggested that Diddy’s time in the spotlight might be over.

She alluded to knowledge of past incidents involving him and expressed her belief that justice was long overdue.
The discussion also brought up the history of Wendy’s firing from Hot 97, which has long been tied to rumors she aired about Diddy’s personal life.
Back in 1998, Wendy was dismissed after making allegations about Diddy’s sexuality and allegedly having a compromising photo of him.
Her claims reportedly led Diddy to pressure the station into letting her go, using his influence in the music industry as leverage.
Gene Deal, Diddy’s former bodyguard, confirmed these events in a 2022 interview. In it, Deal described the immense power Diddy wielded over radio stations and media outlets at the time.
According to Deal, Diddy’s demands ensured Wendy’s removal to protect his image and industry connections.
This latest appearance by Wendy Williams comes amid her ongoing recovery from health challenges. Diagnosed with dementia and aphasia in early 2024, Wendy stepped away from her talk show to focus on her well-being.
Her struggles with memory loss, communication difficulties, and alcoholism led her to enter guardianship and seek professional care.
