Diddy, Usher and Bieber were 'controlled' by three top music executives through drugs and sex, claims Suge Knight

Suge Knight names people who controlled “Diddy”

Knight told News Nation that artists under his label were only exposed to marijuana, but heavier drug use allegedly became common once they signed with other record labels. In a phone interview with Chris Cuomo from prison, Knight expressed his belief that Diddy may have been the victim of sexual abuse, as the record producer with the bad boy character is accused of sex trafficking, organized crime and sexual harassment, in addition to his infamous “freak-off” parties with Hollywood stars.

Knight accused executives such as Clive Davis, Russell Simmons and Andre Harrell of using these substances to “control” and compromise the masculinity of stars, with a particular focus on Diddy. “These guys… introduced my artists to cocaine,” Knight told the host during a live call. “So when they were doing cocaine, drugs and alcohol, the weird things started happening. I think that's what Puffy [Combs] down this alley,” he added.

Suge Knight names Clive Davis, Russell Simmons and Andre Harrell

“[Combs] was taught that. He caught Usher as a kid… alcohol, drugs, sex. Justin Bieber – and they do these things to have control…” the convicted felon added in his statement. “You choose to be gay, that's your choice, but they do that to people to have control,” he continued, claiming that Davis, Simmons and Harrell are among the top musicians behind this ring.

It is important to note that none of the people named by Knight have been charged for the allegations he made. Although these claims are unsubstantiated and Davis' spokesperson has vehemently denied them, Knight's accusations have sparked debate online.

“This is a completely fabricated thread being spread by an incarcerated felon,” the spokesperson told PageSix. “Mr. Knight's claims about Clive Davis are 100 percent false as nothing of the sort ever happened,” they added.

Although Clive Davis, who popularized faces like Whitney Houston, Aerosmith, etc., was never accused of sexual misconduct, he remained a staunch supporter of Sean “Diddy” Combs, even during a high-profile rape lawsuit filed by Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Russell Simmons, another influential figure in the music industry, has been embroiled in his own controversies, with several women accusing him of sexual assault, allegations he vehemently denies. While Andre Harrell, Diddy's mentor, was never charged with sex crimes, he died in 2020. He was also accused of sexual assault by a rapist.

Justin Bieber and Usher to comment

Following Diddy's recent arrest, former collaborators like Justin Bieber and Usher are under increasing pressure to speak out against the disgraced mogul. Fans believe these young artists may have personal experiences that could help in the case. Earlier this year, a video surfaced of Combs publicly criticizing the teenage Bieber for not spending enough time with him. A source previously told the newspaper: “Although Bieber is reportedly aware of the situation, he is currently focused on his family and child.” Usher, on the other hand, mysteriously deleted his entire Twitter account, claiming it had been hacked.
