Puff Daddy Says Artists Need To “Step Up And Be Better Leaders”

    Yesterday (December 3), Puff Daddy expressed his frustration over the grand jury’s verdict in the case against New York City police officer Daniel Pantaleo in the death of Eric Garner. The Hip Hop entrepreneur, who appeared weary in a video uploaded to Instagram, declared that “this is not right.”

    “This ain’t right. This is not right. To continue to let this go on. It’s enough. It’s enough, man,” Puff said in a video uploaded to Instagram earlier this week.

    The Bad Boy Records founder also included a caption with his Instagram upload. He stated that “enough is enough” and added that artists need to “step up and be better leaders.”

    He later stressed the importance of being well organized and having a real strategy.

    “I can’t take it anymore! It’s Enough, and enough is enough! Honestly my emotions are all over the place,” Puff wrote. “We as artists, myself included, all have to step up and be better leaders in our communities. It’s a hard burden to bear, but we have been chosen whether we like it or not. We need to do whatever we can in a POSITIVE way, to help unite people of all colors in this injustice!

    “In order to be successful, it is very important that we have a well ORGANIZED, STRATEGIC plan,” he added. “This is super important in order for us to make change!! REAL organization, REAL strategy and a TRUE commitment to not forget and move on like we usually do when the news stops reporting. This has to stop and we as a people are the only ones that can stop it. I truly do not have the right to preach, but I do have the right to speak. #EricGarner #MikeBrown #UNITE”

      1. 1: You are a racist piece of sh**

        2: Everytime a minority group wants to do good for their community, here comes the white racist imbeciles trying to paint them as black criminals who are no good.

        3: Loon was charged with Conspiracy(he never did the crime they set him up) and him being “muslim” doesnt have anything to do with this situation. Muslim countries almost have ZERO criminals

        4: You and your people invented the “divide & conquer” strategy, a strategy from the Devil himself!

      2. This happens anytime a black person attempts to organize the people or say some real shit to disrupt the effed up mindset, in the 60’s they would assasinate you for it, now they assasinate your character bringing up your past as if that makes your ideas less valid. White supremacists thru govt and media been doing this for years, but people are catching on, and even though you may not have been trying to do that, you did it, it’s involuntary white supremacy you can’t help it.

      3. “Muslim countries almost have ZERO criminals”
        gotta be fucking kidding me, you delirious for real! lol what the fuck do they got death penalty for? dont they have no jails?
        And muslim countries with their death penalty and jails are nothing against fucked up crazy NOI (which has nothing to do with real Islam) or damn ISIS. No crime in muslim world huh guess you never been there

      4. “You and your people invented the “divide & conquer” strategy” – 1. learn to read. 2. read your Qu’ran

      5. @bro and wat

        How does your technicality argument from what wtf said? Tell us when a black person tried to do good for their community and didn’t get their name smeared. While there is crime in the Middle East the tolerance level is zero and the justice is fast, and while divide and conquer was not invented by whites they do it. Now tell us how this not make the op a racist.

    2. Isn’t this the same guy who threw a drink in another man’s face for choosing to drink a beverage in the club that wasn’t Ciroc?

    3. should of stop hip hop when it was plumbing down, TOO LATE NOW PUFF..

    4. LOOK WHO THE FUCK IS TALKING! You had the power and influence to help black culture on a whole different level and instead you did nothing but like the rest of the motherfuckers who get paid. Keep money in yo damn pocket and only do things that benefit you and only yours. Asshole!

      1. Some negros are acting like Puff Daddy did not bring Ciroc to the people when they needed it the most! Who else was going to give the people coconut, berry and pineapple flavored vodka? All for the people!?! C’mon brother’s let all get real!
