Diddy has come out to defend Chris Brown and Rihanna’s recent stay at his home in Miami, less than a month after an alleged physical fight between both performers.
On a recent appearance on the Ellen Degeneres show, the music mogul was questioned about the reunion between Brown and Rihanna that subsequently caused national outrage from the public.
“It’s my house, and I’m allowed to give my house to whoever I want to give my house to,” Diddy told Ellen. “I don’t cast a stone – cast judgment on anybody. So, if friends ask me for a favor, then I’m going to be there for a favor as long as I know the energy of the favor is positive.”
During the stay, photos were released of Brown jet skiing. Singer Usher released a video rebuking Brown for the irony.
"I'm a little disappointed in this photo," Usher said on Jermaine Dupri's online Living the Life video series. "After the other photo [of Rihanna's brutalized face]? C'mon, Chris. Have a little bit of remorse, man. The man's on jet skis? Like, just relaxing in Miami?"
He later apologized for his comments. “The comments made during a recent recording session amongst friends were taken out of context and blown out of proportion,” he said in a statement. “I apologize on behalf of myself and my friends if anyone was offended. The intentions were not to pass judgment and we meant no harm. I respect and wish the best for all parties involved."
“We don’t know exactly what’s going on,” Diddy told Ellen. “There are two young individuals [involved]. We need to pray for them.”
Diddy also added that though he doesn’t think, “it’s right for anybody to hit anybody,” it’s good for “two people to sit down and talk about a situation they’re in.”
