In an amazing moment, Toure revealed that Didi He once allegedly made sexual projections to a male relative who was his boarder.
In The Following the uproar surrounding Didi, author and cultural critic Toure aired a new, unexpected claim during an appearance on MSNBC host Joy Reid's late-night show. As he spoke with Reid on Tuesday's episode The ReidOut (March 27) she began: “I was personally disturbed many years ago,” about sexual abuse allegations against Didi and a growing sex-trafficking investigation, “I know this man well enough to call him and say: “Hey, I need a favor.' That might have been 10, 12 years ago.”
“I called him and said, 'Hey, I have a family member I want you to hire as an intern.' I've never talked about it publicly,” Toure explained before continuing: “He said, 'Yes.' And they were flying around, on the jet, at home, whatever.” He added: “And then the practice stopped abruptly, about three or four months later. I talked to my family member, like “What happened?” And they wouldn't say.”
“Years later, they finally came out – this is a man – and said that Puff had said, 'Come home, stay the night with me or the internship is over.' And they said: “Absolutely not.” And practice is over. From there I said, “Oh! That's how it goes “. So to hear that things went even further with possibly, allegedly, a lot of other people … we feel like we saw this coming.”
The revelation comes as Diddy finds himself embroiled in controversy thanks to another lawsuit filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr. earlier this year, accusing the Bad Boy Records founder of sexual assault. Jones worked on Diddy's The Love Album: Off The Grid. In the lawsuit documents, Jones alleged that Diddy often had unwanted sex and tried to force him into sexual acts with other men, in addition to other misdeeds such as spiking women's drinks and wooing underage girls. Diddy is also dealing with another lawsuit from a victim who claims he and Bad Boy Records president Harv Pierre drove her from Michigan to New Jersey and sexually assaulted her when she was 17.
