Radio host Funk Flex sparked major controversy after defending Sean Combs on social media. The Hot 97 DJ attacked Cassie Ventura following the guilty verdict against the music mogul. Flex claimed Ventura orchestrated a money grab instead of being a real victim. He accused her of planning the whole situation for financial gain. The radio personality said both parties made poor decisions.
Flex criticized Ventura for threatening to publish a book about her experiences. He suggested she accepted payment to keep quiet about her story. The DJ questioned why she would take money if she truly wanted to help other women. He warned that the entertainment industry poses dangers for people who cannot handle the pressure. Flex urged Ventura to teach young girls how to avoid similar mistakes.
Fellow Hot 97 host Ebro Darden publicly disagreed with Flex's comments. Darden stated that powerful people abused their positions and took advantage of younger individuals. He told Flex to stop making excuses for bad behavior. Many fans criticized Flex for blaming the victim. Social media users called his post insensitive and harmful.
Combs received guilty verdicts on two counts of transportation for prostitution. Each charge carries a potential ten-year prison sentence. The jury cleared him of more serious charges like racketeering and sex trafficking. Ventura's lawyers asked the court to deny bail for safety reasons. The judge agreed and Combs remains locked up until his October sentencing date.
