Suge Knight has expressed that he does not believe Diddy deserves prison time in relation to his ongoing sex trafficking case.
Speaking during a recent interview on Cuomo from prison, Suge discussed his perspective on the high-profile proceedings.
“I say this all the time, Puffy and I are not friends, but Puffy should definitely walk free.”
He further commented: “The most important thing is that it was other executives that was involved in Puff’s life. And for Puffy to be the only guy that gets on the stand is a sad day for Hip Hop.”
Suge continued: “I don’t think this is a case where Puffy should be going to prison … How could every person who’s involved with Puffy not on the stand except for Puffy? At some point, the law gotta be blind.
“We just can’t jump to conclusions and say, ‘throw Puffy under the bus.’ Like I said, him and I are not friends, but Puffy definitely should walk. What’s right is right, wrong is wrong.”
He has also suggested in the past that Diddy might be pardoned by Donald Trump if convicted.
“I think he’s got some favors with the government. I think they’re gonna show him a little leeway. It might not seem like it when it’s all said and done, but I don’t think he has nothing to worry about, and I don’t think he’s worried because he’s gonna be federal, and if he gets convicted, Trump’s gonna pardon him.”
The rap executive added: “I still feel that Puffy is going to be alright and have a fair shot at it. He’s not a not a dummy. And I’m quite sure somebody going to talk to those jurors and convince one or two of them that’s all you need, is one.”
Diddy, who maintains his innocence, has not indicated whether he would pursue a presidential pardon if convicted.
His trial is ongoing in New York.
