During an interview with Joy Reid, journalist Touré made a claim that a family member employed by rapper Diddy was terminated because they did not spend the night with him.
Federal authorities have conducted raids on Diddy’s residences in Los Angeles and Miami this week, in connection with a federal investigation into sex trafficking. Moreover, the acclaimed musician is currently facing multiple accusations of sexual assault and trafficking made by former employees.
During the interview on Tuesday night, Touré joined Reid to discuss and react to the recent legal developments. Additionally, Touré shared a personal anecdote revealing that a male family member had experienced pressure to engage in a sexual relationship with Diddy.
A journalist disclosed that he managed to secure an internship for one of his male family members with the rapper twelve years ago. Surprisingly, the intern abruptly left the internship with Diddy after only a few months, without providing any explanation for his sudden departure.
Touré stated that
I spoke to my family member like, what happened? And they wouldn’t say. And I’m like, why did it end? And they wouldn’t say. And years later, they finally came out — and this is a male — and said that, Puff had said, “come home, stay the night with me or the internship is over.”
And they said, “Absolutely not.” He said, “Absolutely not.” And the internship ended. But from there I was like, oh, like, this is how it goes, okay. So to hear that things went even further with potentially allegedly many other people…We feel like we’ve seen this coming.
