Diddy Revenge? or Is This On-Purpose Writing?

When I poured my heart into a memoir, especially one that chronicles survival and clarity, it’s easy for outsiders to misinterpret the intent. As I wrap up the release of The Night Puff Tried to Kill Me, some have asked, “Is this revenge?” The truth is, this memoir—and everything that follows—has a far deeper purpose than vengeance.

If you’ve followed the media recently, you’ll know that the name “Diddy” is everywhere—across headlines, documentaries, and legal cases. But my story about Sean Combs attacking me with his goons isn’t another attempt to capitalize on that chaos. This book isn’t about punishment. It’s about my survival, my truth, and offering insights that I feel the world needs to hear right now. Having been among the first people to face Diddy’s violence, I knew my experience could not remain untold. But telling it from a place of purpose is key for me.

Whether I like it or not, I am a part of the “Diddy legacy’—and, in some way, the “Diddy ecosystem.” Our lives intersected in a way that forever changed both of us, and now, with everything in the spotlight, the shoe is on the other foot. I’m not the one behind bars—he is. Oh, how the script has flipped. The irony of it all: I lived with his attack in my mind on many restless nights in an 8 x 4 cell. And now I’m the free man, and he is the captive prisoner. I’m now living Diddy’s own words: “It’s whatever the fuck I wanna do and however the fuck I wanna do it… because I’m the freest nigga in the world.”

Katt Williams said on Club Shay-Shay, “There’s our side, and then there’s the other side, and we don’t care nothing about the other side.” This quote speaks directly to those who still champion Diddy, even after the latest rape allegations, even after so many others have spoken up about his attacking them, and even after that video you saw on CNN where he kicked and dragged Cassie across the hotel lobby floor. Nah, family. This is the time that we all stand together in unity as to whats right; the right side of his-story. This is the time that we erase the white-party-noise from our memories and do the right thing. The animal needs caging. (King Kong, Godzilla, The Tazmanian Devil… Jeffrey Epstien, Peter Nygard, Harvey Weinstein, R. Kelly). And so it is done. It is finally done.

Some may call this revenge content, but to those who know me and my work, this is far from that. This is on-purpose, it’s just that the timing is perfect. No different than me standing on a New York City Street corner and catching a New York Times and a Daily News feature article about me. No different than me sitting in a remote Starbucks and having the manager approach me to explain that “the store is undergoing $1 million renovation” and would I be interested in “producing weekly Jazz show’s there to increase wine sales.” Perfect timing meets perfect positioning meets my special set of skills. Every project I engage with—whether it’s a comic book I’m creating for a client, a miniseries I’m producing, or the documentary appearance you see me in—all of it serves a larger narrative that connects survival with understanding. This isn’t just about my experience with Sean P-Diddy Combs. It’s about sharing lessons of de-escalation, finding resolve, and showing how we can move past the aggression and trauma we encounter in life.

What makes this moment so potent is the fact that the world is already focused on Diddy’s downfall. The noise is out there, and many are creating content around his public demise, some facts, and some fiction. But people are ultimately going to have to live with what they bring to the table. And what differentiates my contribution is that it isn’t built on destruction—it’s built on storytelling, transparency, and, ultimately, healing.

As much as I’ve survived the worst of Puff, I don’t seek to punish him more than he’s punished himself. This isn’t an opportunity to reopen wounds but to process them and share what I’ve learned in the aftermath. And perhaps, through this lens, others can also find their own healing and resolution.

So, is this revenge content? No. This is content on-purpose—crafted intentionally to foster growth, understanding, and, most importantly, resolution. However, all of that, with perfect timing.

My journey, though connected to Diddy’s public turmoil, is about finding peace through storytelling. And that’s something the world could use a lot more of.
