Outside a New York courthouse, a protest in support of Sean “Diddy” Combs is going viral, but not for the reasons you’d expect. A TikTok video claims that demonstrators were paid $20 an hour to wear “Free Diddy” shirts, with one woman saying she turned down the gig after learning the payment would be in Diddy Coin, a meme crypto that once peaked at $181 million before tanking. Even 50 Cent jumped in, calling the move “diabolical,” but joked he might show up himself for $20 an hour.
The spectacle comes as Diddy faces serious federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, linked to allegations from ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Prosecutors say Combs ran a criminal operation exploiting women through his businesses since 2008. Combs has pleaded not guilty, but could face life in prison if convicted.
Meanwhile, the TikTok exposing the alleged paid protest has racked up over 2 million views—and commenters aren’t holding back. One wrote, “If you’re really innocent, you don’t need to pay anyone.
