AceShowbiz - Freddy P might have been staying with Da Band had it not been because of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, so he claimed. The former member of Diddy's "MTV Making The Band 2" group Da Band said in an interview that the hip-hip mogul once made a threat on his life and the lives of people in his neighborhood, forcing him to leave the group.
In the sit-down for "The Art of Dialogue", Freddy reflected on a time he and the "I'll Be Missing You" rapper had a heated argument that led to the latter making a chilling threat. According to the former boybander, Diddy had enough power to buy the entire block the Florida rapper lived on and would cut off the electricity, claiming anyone who stepped out onto the street would get killed.
"One day, I was waking up, and I was in a mood. I'm in the studio, I'm snapping or whatever. I didn't even want to be f**ked with," the musician recalled. "You know when you around a bunch of goofies and you a street n***a, sometimes you don't want to be around the nerds. So I'm in that b***h; I'm just frustrated with a lot of s**t going on."
The 43-year-old continued, "Anyway, we get into a situation. We in front of everybody, n***a like, 'Man, what you think you bout it or something?' He was like, 'N***a, I'll buy every house on your block, shut every light off in that b***h, and every time you come out that b***h you'll get popped.' When he tell you some s**t like that, you go to picture him purchasing every house, you going to picture every light going off, and that s**t silenced me."
Diddy's insane remarks scared Freddy and it fueled his decision to leave Da Band and not participate in anything the group was associated with, including the "Chappelle's Show" episode where Dave Chappelle and members of the group parodied the show. He admitted that he was so disturbed by what Diddy said that night that he even contemplated killing the hip-hop mogul.
"I was trying to take his a** out," Freddy revealed. "Me and my dog, God rest his soul, we had a G Wagon, and he had his little two twos, I had a little pistol on me or whatever. I had the Mac or whatever, and we were waiting for his p***y a** to come out."
Freddy spoke against Diddy as the later faces multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual harassment, which he has denied. The Bad Boy Records founder's homes were recently also raided by the Department of Homeland Security as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
