    Not surprised. Signing deals with Diddy was like signing your soul to the Devil. He’s rich, but everyone who got him there is broke and/or suffering.

      True, but this is a prime example of how we as Black folks need to learn how to build assets. As you can see clothes, shoes, fancy cars, and even homes are not assets. (A home can easily became a liability). We need to learn how to generate more wealth from our earnings. Looks like he’ll have to downsize, work some deals with his creditors, and figure out how to make money in the meantime. I wish him the best.
