Diddy's sex trafficking arrest has sparked a lot of opinions and theories. Some have said the 54-year-old is guilty of the crimes he's being accused of, but DJ Envy believes he's getting a raw deal.

Diddy is being accused of hosting sex parties and forcing women to sleep with male sex workers. It's also been said that 1,000 bottles of baby oil was found in one of his homes when it was raided earlier this year.

"Diddy’s a freaky n---a. Like, freaky, freaky, freaky and there’s nothing wrong with being a freaky person," said Envy on The Casey Crew Show, the podcast he hosts with his wife. "So the fact that he has a thousand bottles of baby oil and lube just means he likes to get s--t popping, and there’s nothing illegal about that."

The Breakfast Club host spoke about Diddy's bond denial as well. Last month, a judge said that Diddy would remain in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center after prosecutors said he might intimidate witnesses if released. On top of that, Envy criticized those who've said Diddy is guilty even though he hasn't been tried yet.

"Everybody’s gonna crack a joke, it is what it is. [But] I don’t like how people convict him before hearing all of the evidence," said Envy. "I didn’t like the fact that they didn’t give him a bond. He was gonna put up $50 million, his house, his mom’s house, he was giving up his passports."

Envy continued by saying since Diddy's twin daughters, Jessie and D'Lila, lost their mother, Kim Porter, to pneumonia in 2018, the judges should've taken that into consideration when making their bond decision. "He has two twins that are 17 years old that don’t have their dad right now and probably won’t have their dad for the next two years until the trial is over," Envy explained.

Diddy's trial is scheduled to start in May 2025.
