The AceShowbiz – P. In 2019, Diddy spoke hot on the back of his supposed gay confession that went viral about his personal struggle. “2019 was a crazy year,” he added. “It was a great year for some of us and for some of us that s**t was really, really, really hard man. It was a hard year.”
“The energy was real, real heavy out there. I even got affected. 2019 was the year I honestly felt I wanted to give up,” he said. “For a whole year I went through a state of dark depression. I’m telling you this because I had so many people to help me.”
“There’s so many people dealing with depression,” said the 50-year-old music mogul. “Nobody’s immune to it. No matter how much money or success you have. Depression is at an all-time high. Even I experienced it this year.”
The internet was overflowing with feedback. Although some dissed him, there were several others who gave him help. “Come out of the closet Diddy and let another man love you the way you want to be loved,” one said. Another penned, “Bruh just come out its ok cuz muthaf**kas still gonna listen to your music.”
“It’s ok, Diddy, to just come out and be a gay man. Love yourself enough to, as you say in this video,” said one of the others. “Either way, people are bound to be dismissive of you, however, believe me, they’re going to get over it. Don’t panic if you’re concerned of who may turn against you. Those people might appear to be positive and supportive for you, but they were already turned if they leave you for being gay. Either way, the true tribe and supporting cast will be there for you. You’ve been grappling with this for a long time so bring it to r r
Diddy reportedly came out of the closet with a single by sexually-fluid singer Orange Blood named “Hope” “Sometimes I ask myself, like / You know, what is it going to take for me not to be afraid.” he spoke of his greatest anxiety and vowed to conquer it one day.
“To be loved the way, like, I really wanna be loved? / But that I know how I really wanna be loved / But I’m, but I’m, like, scared to really, really feel that / You know, it’s like you want something / But you don’t know if you can handle it,” he added. “Maybe one day I’ll get over my fears and I’ll receive.”
50 Cent had already hinted at the sexuality of Diddy before the song came out. It originated from a 2017 video showing an intoxicated Diddy calling another guy “daddy.” Fabolous, who was in the video, appeared shocked and later puzzled over what type of party Diddy tried to have with him.
