Ellen DeGeneres’ 2016 tweet has recently resurfaced and gone viral. In the post, she wished Sean “Diddy” Combs a happy birthday, playfully addressing him with his various monikers: “Happy birthday, P Diddy, Puff Daddy, Sean Combs.”
The tweet’s second part, where she humorously added, “Or, as I call him, Cuddle McSnugglestuff. You don’t have to know why,” has sparked renewed attention, especially in light of Diddy’s recent legal troubles.
Diddy is currently in jail, facing serious charges related to an investigation into alleged sex trafficking and racketeering.
Given the severity of these accusations, the lighthearted and affectionate tone of DeGeneres’ tweet has unnerved many social media users, leading to comments that the tweet “hasn’t aged well.”
Some users directly questioned the context, with one asking DeGeneres for clarification. The rapper’s legal issues, which stem from allegations dating back to the 1990s, involve claims of abuse, intimidation, and forming a criminal organization.
As of late September, 11 individuals have filed complaints against him, with one accuser, Thalia Graves, alleging a 2001 attack. Despite these accusations, Combs has pleaded not guilty.
