00:00This is the type of indictment you would expect from someone in the mafia.

00:03I don't know that I could keep him off the stand.

00:05He is very eager to tell his story.

00:08They're going to show that video over and over and over

00:11about what happens to women that won't change their stories.

00:30The Downfall of Diddy

00:32You've been in the industry so long.

00:33Yes.

00:34Have you got any thoughts on the Diddy situation?

00:37Do you know what? I hate to kick a man when he's down.

00:40That's why you do good, good comes back to you.

00:42You know, keep your hands clean and hope you know.

00:45But you know, a lot of stuff that wasn't done is being blamed on him

00:49and a lot of things that were done, he's getting charged for it.

00:52Because a lot of people think it was like an open secret for a long time

00:55that these freak-offs were happening and now we're all learning about it now.

01:00You have just been, you're integral to the industry.

01:02So I was just wondering to get your thoughts on that.

01:10So I mean, you know, you can't let it go to your head.

01:13Can't let it go to your head.

01:15Yeah, I mean, you know, it is what it is.

01:16I don't have anything to say because I don't like to kick a man while he's down.

01:20You know, because it could have been me.

01:21I could have been at a Diddy party, but I wasn't.

01:24But you guys were friends, you guys go back.

01:27We go back.

01:28I mean, I've known Papi my entire career.

01:31And to hear a lot of the allegations that were put against him, I was very shocked.

01:35I mean, you know, even the Tupac situation, all that stuff is, you know,

01:39Tupac and I were very close.

01:40So to hear all this stuff is really like, well, you know what I mean?

01:43If you did it, go do it.

01:44Yeah, yeah.

01:45The criminal case is going to be...

01:47If you did it, go do it.

01:48And kicking a woman.

01:50I was just reading that you were named an honorary member of...

01:56Oh, you've got it down.

02:09Now I have a nationwide sisterhood that goes beyond the Intelligent Black Women's

02:16Coalition, which is still nationwide.

02:18But it feels good.

02:19It feels good to come full circle in the genre I helped build.

02:23I go to the parties.

02:24I'm getting honored.

02:25You go to the parties?

02:26I go to the parties.
