I've had to explain the whole East-West Coast feud, the assassination of Tupac and Biggie, the rise and fall of Suge Knight, the Rampart Scandal, and subsequent aftermath of these events to my very white mother because she asked me about Diddy.

I really hope they continue to stay silent because this stuff gets exhausting when I'm trying to do something and my mom wants to hear the entire history of the 90s (and I'm like "you were there too?").

I'm picturing your mom paying rapt attention and asking important questions.

i noticed this trend among people who are exposed for doing shitty stuff. they lay low through the shitstorm then come back as if nothing ever happened. i dislike it that it works.

They don't even have to lay low, look at Chris Brown. Got in a fight with Frank Ocean after beating Rhianna and still getting millions of views and listens everywhere.
