What Snoop Dogg Has Learned About Himself After Following Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Federal Trial

Rap mogul and entrepreneur Snoop Dogg has recently shared his thoughts on Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ongoing federal trial.

During a recent podcast appearance, Snoop Dogg—known for his diverse business ventures, including Death Row Records and Leafs By Snoop—also revealed that hearing witness testimony in Diddy's trial has inspired him to be a better businessman.

On a recent episode of "The Shade Room Live," Snoop Dogg was asked about Diddy's trial—now in its third week—and revealed he was surprised by some of the details emerging from the witness stand.

"Very surprised. I'm ultimately surprised. I don't be expecting none of these things to be happening," he said before admitting Diddy's trial has helped him realize he wants to be better, considering his "position of power."

"Given my position of leadership, I like to take advantage of it and treat people good and make sure that people that work with me don't feel like they work for me," Snoop said. "And when they're ready to leave, and if we have a misunderstanding, if there is a separation, it's ended on love. It's never bad vibes or anything of that nature."

And that's not all that the "Drop It Like It's Hot" rapper reflected on. He also said that watching Diddy's legal woes play out has made him realize he wants to be a "better boss."

He explained that when he was "just an artist," he paid close attention to how people with authority behaved.

"I try to take the good things that they did and subtract the bad 
things that they did," Snoop continued. "Some of the things I didn't know what they did because I was only entitled to certain information as an artist or a friend. So as a businessman, I've learned to just be good to people, because I know what it feels like to have bad business done on you."

During this past week's witness testimony, one of Diddy's former assistants alleged that the rapper and father of seven once kidnapped her at gunpoint, reportedly in a plot to kill fellow rapper Kid Cudi.

For context, Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, had previously testified that Diddy allegedly broke into his home several years ago after learning Cudi was dating Diddy's then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.

Kid Cudi also testified that Diddy allegedly set his Porsche 911 convertible on fire with an incendiary device, saying, "The top of my Porsche was cut open and that's where they inserted the Molotov cocktail."

Also on the stand, Cassie shared harrowing testimony about her decade-long relationship with Diddy and also described the first time the rapper allegedly told her about his desire to see her have sex with other men.

"I was 22 at the time, my stomach churned, didn't have a concept of how that would be a turn on, but I accepted the responsibility," Cassie testified. "I was confused, nervous, but also loved him very much and wanted to make him happy."

Later, the "Me & U" singer told the court about the sexual orgies Diddy allegedly planned (which he reportedly dubbed "Freak Offs"), and how her participation in them became all-consuming.

She testified that the elaborate sexual encounters, which left her feeling "disgusting" and "humiliated," would last for hours, with the longest lasting "four days."

During the alleged "freak offs," Cassie explained on the stand that she'd have sex with male escorts, usually while under the influence of illicit drugs.

One male performer, named "The Punisher," took the stand during the trial and testified about his involvement in the alleged orgy, and said he was paid $2,000 to create a "sexy scene" with Cassie for Diddy to masturb-te to.

A week after his testimony, "The Punisher" apologized to Cassie for his role in the matter, saying he had "no idea [of] what she was going through."

"Obviously, my involvement kind of furthered her suffering. Me, knowing that as a man, being raised by a single mom and a grandma, just the thought of partaking in a scenario where a woman is possibly being abused is tough to hear. I would just apologize to her and tell her that I was really remorseful and regret if I contributed to a bad experience for her," he finished.
