G. Dep Defends Diddy Amid Sexual Assault Allegations, Seeks Musical Reunion

The Downfall Of Diddy | The Case Against Sean 'Puffy P Diddy' Combs

In a candid interview with Fox 5 New York on Monday, former Bad Boy Records rapper G. Dep discussed his recent release from prison, his redemption story, and his views on the mounting sexual assault allegations against music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs.
G. Dep, who was released from New York State prison earlier this month after being granted clemency by Governor Kathy Hochul (pronounced-Ho-cool), expressed skepticism about the validity of the allegations against Combs. "I’m like, ‘When? When did that happen?’ You know what I mean?" the Harlem native questioned, reflecting on his time working closely with Combs in the studio. "We were in the studio for months on end with each other. So I don’t know where this is coming from."
The rapper, whose real name is Trevell Coleman, urged the public to hold off on passing judgment until more information is available. “People should give people the benefit of the doubt,” he said. “If somebody just saying that you did something, you know, people can say anything.”
Despite the controversies surrounding Combs, G. Dep remains hopeful about reconnecting with his former label head for future music projects. Looking directly into the camera during the interview, he made a public plea: “I got a lot of songs, bro,” he said. “I’m looking for you so we can get some type of musical situation going.”
While G. Dep acknowledged that Combs did not visit him during his incarceration, he appreciated the indirect support he received. “He reached out to me inadvertently,” the rapper explained, referring to Combs' mentions of him in videos and interviews. “Like videos, a couple of interviews, I heard him shout me out. … I couldn’t expect too much from anybody—that wasn’t what type of time that was. I went in there with my own volition.”
G. Dep gained fame with his 2001 single “Special Delivery,” which soared to No. 3 on the Hot Rap Songs chart and featured a star-studded remix, underscoring his significant impact on early 2000s hip-hop.
As he reintegrates into society and the music industry, G. Dep's story of redemption continues to unfold, marked by his willingness to forgive and his eagerness to create new music, potentially with old partners. His comments add a complex layer to the ongoing public discourse surrounding Combs, balancing the serious nature of the allegations with a call for measured response and due process.
