2 Live Crew rapper Uncle Luke was a recent guest on The Stephen A. Smith Show, where he had an extensive conversation with Smith about Diddy’s legal troubles.
At one point in the discussion, Smith told Uncle Luke (real name Luke Campbell) that Suge Knight was a recent guest on News Nation with Chris Cuomo—from prison—which Luke couldn’t believe. He then told Luke the former Death Row CEO was running a podcast from behind bars in which he also provided his two cents on Diddy’s downfall. Luke suggested drugs played a pivotal role in Diddy’s now-infamous “freak-off” parties. Uncle Luke then suggested Diddy thought he was “too big,” which led to him suing Diageo in May 2023 over his belief that the company treated Ciroc and DeLeón tequila as inferior products and limited their distribution to “urban” neighborhoods. Some people have suggested Diageo is behind all of Diddy’s woes.
The two parties reached a settlement in January to resolve the lawsuit, putting their contentious legal war to bed. Diddy claimed in the lawsuit that Diageo had breached their agreement by failing to adequately support his DeLeón and said they treated his product line “worse than others because he is Black.”
