Diddy Says He Was Blindsided By Suge Knight's Source Award Speech

During the 1995 Source Awards, Suge Knight notoriously went after Diddy.

"Any artist out there that wanna be an artist, stay a star, and won’t have to worry about the executive producer trying to be all in the videos, all on the records, dancing—come to Death Row," Suge said from the stage.

Puff was just on NORE's Drink Champs podcast, where he revealed details about the evening that he says he's never spoke about in public.

“I really couldn't believe it because me and him were friends,” Diddy said of Suge's rant. “He would pick me up from the airport, the whole entire thing, so it kinda had me taken back because I spoke to them when I was there ... I really thought we was cool."

Puff goes on to say that he had enough homies at the award show -- which was in New York -- to make trouble for Suge, but decided not to.

At the show's after party, Diddy ran into to Suge and asked him about his speech. To which Knight responded he was talking about Jermaine Dupri, not Diddy.

Puff wasn't buying it. But he again made the decision to walk away -- even though he had the means to escalate the conflict.

"It was a business decision," Diddy explained. "It was the scariest situation of my life.
