Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs has been getting dragged through the mud after his recent arrest. Going from an influential and successful rapper in Hollywood to one of the most disgruntled figures in the industry, no one saw the extent of his accusations coming.
While his arrest has become highly televised in recent months, he is not the first person from the gilded gates of Hollywood to meet a fate behind bars. R Kelly famously found himself in jail after his dirty laundry was aired out for the world to see.
Interestingly enough, Combs and Kelly seemed to know each other quite well, even having a song together.
The Sentence of R Kelly and the Wait of Puff Daddy’s Verdict
There are quite a lot of similarities between the cases ofDiddyor Puff Daddy andR Kellythat are almost identical. Both were successful rappers who dominated the 2000s with their music. Both had a reputation for partying and being icons for the same. And now, both find themselves being accused of very concerning crimes that showcase the cracks in their ‘party-boy’ images.
Both rappers also had their reputations completely destroyed once the news of their arrest was brought forth for the world to see. Kelly was found guilty of racketeering and sx trafficking in the state of New York case, serving a 30-year sentence for the same. Additionally, he was also found guilty of child prnography and enticement of a minor in the state of Illinois, for which he was given a 20-year sentence.

Puff Daddy and R Kelly—The Freakiest Duo
Ironically enough, R Kelly and Puff Daddy have been linked together in more ways than just coincidence. The pair actually collaborated on a song together. Released in 2016, they released a track calledSatisfy You, which has been getting a lot of attention from fans since the announcement of Combs’ arrest.
The comments of the music video from eight years ago are flooded with recent events. With many talking about the irony of the situation, they pointed out how their collab is perhaps one of the “freakiest” to come out of the music industry. Many fans made jokes about the prison aspect of their story, mentioning that they could top the “Billboard Prison Charts.”

At one point in the video, Diddy’s skin looks somewhat shiny. One fan made a connection to his infamous parties, or “Freakoffs,” and the baby oil that was found in his home, stating that the origin makes more sense now.
