Suge Knight believes Diddy should be a free man at the conclusion of his sex trafficking and racketeering trial.

While Knight and Diddy were at opposite ends of the contentious West Coast/East Coast rap beef in the ’90s, the Death Row founder joined NewsNation’s Cuomo on Tuesday (May 27), where he detailed why he thinks that Diddy shouldn’t be found guilty.

Knight said he believes Combs had many accomplices who should be in handcuffs with him, while Diddy was the only Bad Boy Records executive to take the fall. “I say this all the time, Puffy and I are not friends. But Puffy should definitely walk,” he explained. “There were other executives involved in Puffy’s life and for Puffy to be the only guy that gets on the stand is a sad day for hip-hop.”

Host Chris Cuomo asked Knight about his relationship with Diddy’s former assistant, Capricorn Clark, who testified against Combs and claimed Diddy kidnapped her. Knight alleged that Bad Boy’s Reggie Wright Jr. forced Clark to have sex with multiple people.

“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,” Knight continued. “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.”

Even if Diddy ends up receiving a lengthy prison sentence, Knight believes that President Donald Trump will end up giving the Bad Boy mogul a pardon.

“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,” he said to Cuomo. “I feel that Puffy is going to be alright and have a fair shot at it. He’s not a dummy. I’m quite sure somebody is going to talk to those jurors and convince one or two of them.”

Diddy’s sex trafficking and racketeering trial is approaching day 10 and is expected to last into July. He faces life in prison if convicted on all charges.
