The issue isn't him dropping out. It is what he represents as a man. Unmarried, 6 kids (5 biological), 3 baby mommas, infamous for shady business practices (don't know how true that is), and his wealth was amassed through destructive elements. I, personally, have no gripe with Diddy but I can see how a decent student can be up-in-arms about him speaking.
1800 kids graduating, Surely they aren't all saints. Given all Diddy has achieved in his career them students should be, if nothing else, grateful he wants to speak to them

:ld: what does his success have to do with them? He isn't personally doing shyt for them and if they're not feeling him, they're not feeling him. They don't need to be grateful just because he's a successful music exec. :yeshrug:

They don't have to have ANYBODY speak at their graduation, it's a privilege. Kids at other HBCU's would love to have Diddy or someone of that caliber as their speaker.

And he takes care of every last one of his kids. Its not illegal to be unmarried and have kids.

Every single CEO in this country can have there decisions construed as being "shady business practices"

Destructive elements :mjlol:

Nothing he sold was illegal or did he trick the consumer into thinking they were buying anything other than entertainment.



here we go again with the "it's just entertainment" bullshyt.

:snoop:

It is just entertainment. If not, what else is it?

But this is a dumb right to express. You're graduating and moving on to the next chapter of your life.

Why waste time worrying about who is giving a 30 minute motivational speech.

They couldn't get alums like amiri barka, debbie allen, anthony anderson phycilia rashad to do it
Why is Alumni a prerequisite to give a commencement speech.

You think they would have a problem with Bill Cosby giving the speech?
