Thanks Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged nefarious conduct and federal indictment, has become quite a hot topic over the past month, but a few people have already taken it too far just in time for Halloween.

IN since-deleted TikTok video a video that went viral on social media showed a white college student and his friend dressed as the Bad Boy mogul and a bottle of Johnson & Johnson baby oil – a clear reference to Diddy’s “freaks” and his alleged 1,000 bottles of baby oil, which the feds apparently found during a home raid earlier this year. Although the images themselves are uncomfortable, which is what made the video so much more What was disturbing was that the man donned blackface to really “get the point across.”

Naturally, when people learned about the video, netizens quickly reacted:

“Ah yes, notorious red bow tie wearer P. Diddy. “He looks like he redid his Tucker Carlson costume from last year and smeared Hershey’s chocolate sauce on his face,” he said. he wrote one user on X/Twitter.

“The fact that it’s not even what Diddy usually wears is literally just an excuse to bring back the minstrel look.” he wrote other.

“I’ve never seen Combs in that outfit and those dirty, torn sneakers. That said, they are clearly trolling. Whatever, this shit isn’t smart. other he said.

We don’t know who needs to hear this – and we can’t believe we have to say it again in 2024 – but Blackface Never AND it never will be be OK. There is a way to dress up as a different race or ethnicity without having to refer to that race. So it would behoove these students and others like them to start dressing this way.
