A 2016 surveillance video obtained exclusively by CNN shows Sean “Diddy” Combs grab, shove, drag and kick his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura during an altercation that matches allegations in a now-settled federal lawsuit filed by Ventura in November.
I couldn’t name most rappers, even popular ones. Just not an interest for me. If you’d given me his name without context, I wouldn’t have known what he does.
Guys, he’s been pretty much out of the spotlight for almost a whole generation’s conscious life. A Gen Z person who doesn’t really know much about rap music could very easily not know who this is. The person you’re replying to isn’t saying, “pfft, I only like underground artists, I don’t even know who Taylor swift is.” They’re saying, “that name hasn’t crossed my radar, I needed the context.” Wtf is this hostility
I mean, it’s not age. I just don’t follow celebrity news or listen to rap. I could name maybe three rappers. Don’t listen to country music, could name maybe one performer there. Couldn’t name any Indian music performers, to pick a random genre. Or K-pop. Or folk music.
I might have a better shot at some rock or electronica musicians, at least band names, but I couldn’t tell you anything about their personal lives.
EDIT: Well, I guess…let’s see now. Elvis, Michael Jackson, Kurt Cobain, guess I could rattle off that they had untimely deaths that drug use contributed to. Elvis gained a lot of weight, Jackson had serious issues from plastic surgery. Picked that up from retrospectives or obituaries at or after their deaths, though. Beethoven was deaf.
I couldn’t tell you anything about the lives of celebrity professional sports figures either, though I know that there were many dramas that made the sports news over the years and I’m sure that there were no shortage of people who did follow them.

Pretty sure the guy who doesn’t know who puff daddy is was at least around in the 80’s
Could have recently been defrosted from the early 90s though
