Lance Bass Shares His Feelings About Diddy Amid His Legal Woes

Lance Bass has dropped a rather strong opinion about Diddy‘s emerging situation!

The former superstar boy band member walked down memory lane as he shared his experience with the Bad Boy Records founder, noting that he was not exactly fond of the rapper.

Lance Bass was part of the famous music group NSYNC, which Diddy once performed as an opening act on one of their tours.

The 45-year-old explained his non-existent connection with Sean “Diddy” Combs during his appearance on the Wednesday episode of “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.”

Bass revealed that he was never a fan of the rapper and ‘never had time to go to a Diddy party.” On Diddy’s recent arrest and charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, Bass said:

“I forgot he had opened up on our last tour until all this came about. It’s kind of horrible.”

He continued that during their very last show on the tour in Orlando, he heard Diddy talking to Justin Timberlake, saying, “You need to drop these f-kers. You need to go solo. You need to drop them.”

According to In Touch, upon hearing Diddy’s chat, a disappointed Bass recalled thinking, “I don’t like you anymore, Diddy. At my own show? What the hell!”

The business mogul’s arrest went down on September 16, about six months after the authorities shook down his two properties in Los Angeles and Miami in March.

The rapper has been charged with racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. He has since pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, stated that he and the rapper’s legal team were “disappointed with the decision to pursue” what they believe is “an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.”

In the statement following the arrest, Agnifilo stressed that Diddy “is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community.”

Since Diddy’s arrest, information about his alleged illegal actions has come to the surface. Prosecutors have accused the producer of leading a shocking “criminal enterprise” in the 14-page indictment issued by the Southern District of New York, which was unsealed a day after his arrest on September 17.

The prosecutors accused the rapper of abusing, threatening, and coercing women for years to fulfill his wild sexual fantasies, protect his reputation, and hide his illegal conduct.

They accused him of using his fame to entice women into his life with the false promise of a romantic relationship. The prosecutors continued that he would then use force, threats of force, and coercion to get them to do his sexual bidding, which involved “extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers.”

According to the indictment, these acts usually happened at “elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during and often electronically recorded.”

The rapper, if convicted, may face between 15 years to life in prison. For now, the court has denied his two requests for release on bail.

Following the dismissal, Diddy is behind bars at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center until his trial. Sources close to the case shared that the rapper “is worried he could lose his fortune, his homes, his whole life.”

The source also added that the rapper is worried about his safety at the facility, stating: “And after all these accusations, he fears he may not even live to see his trial.”

The Blast reported that the rapper would take the witness stand to defend himself in his upcoming criminal trial. His attorney confirmed this.

However, in a documentary released on September 25, “The Downfall of Diddy,” Agnifilo admitted that the decision to have Diddy testify in his case might be a risky gamble.

Agnifilo noted that the producer would be cross-examined and asked several shocking questions, but it is a risk worth taking as Agnifilo stated that he was in the best position to defend himself in court.

The attorney continued that Diddy’s story with the late Kim Porter is emotional, involving love and hurt. In his words, “He has his story, and he has a story that I think only he can tell in the way he can tell it in real-time.” Agnifilo added:

“And it’s a human story. It’s a story of, of, of love. It’s a story of hurt. It’s a story of heartbreak.“

The father-of-seven, should he take the stand in his court case, would most likely be asked about the viral hotel surveillance video clip where he assaulted his ex-girlfriend, Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura.

The rapper was spotted running down the hotel hallway with a towel around his waist. He charged toward Ventura, who attempted to get into the elevator and leave the building.

Diddy got violent with his former partner and dragged her on the floor, away from the elevator, as the video timed out.

The socialite may also be asked about his alleged involvement in drug-fueled orgies called “freak offs” and other sexual allegations thrown at him before and since his arrest.
