Gaining fame throughout the 1990s, Sean “Diddy” Combs used his talents as a rapper to create an empire. Both a record producer and executive, the rapper helped propel artists like Mary J. Blige and Usher. He was even considered one of the most successful rap producers by the Guinness World Record. But recently, it all came tumbling down after Combs was arrested on federal charges. And with the music industry reacting to the claims brought against him, country legend Mark Chesnutt decided to weigh in.

While a mountain of rumors circulate about Diddy and his arrest, what is known so far is that the rapper faces federal charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Even without the rumors and stories, the charges brought against Diddy could mean the end of his career and freedom. And not shying away from the hot topic, Chesnutt decided to break his silence. A man of few words, he wrote on Instagram, “No pity for Diddy.”
That’s it. Not giving a long post trying to explain his thoughts on the matter, Chesnutt simply showed no pity for Diddy. And fans seemed to agree with the country singer as they added, “None at all.” Another person added, “I hope he starts naming names and brings everyone down with him. Time for a house cleaning.”
