Funkmaster Flex Doesn’t Think Cassie Is a ‘Victim’ After Diddy Verdict: ‘Diddy Made Bad Choices & You Made Bad Choices’

Funkmaster Flex is weighing in on the Diddy verdict.

The Hot 97 radio personality took to Instagram to give his thoughts after the embattled mogul was acquitted on three of five charges, sharing a few lengthy captions. First, he shared a statement made by Cassie Ventura’s lawyer commending her for getting the legal process kicked off by filing her lawsuit against Diddy last year, and while he acknowledged that she’s “been through a lot,” he doesn’t believe that she’s a “victim.”

“I think Cassie has been through a lot especially at a young age,” his caption began. “She is such a nice person and always gave off good energy! I hope her and her family overcome all of the pain they are going through! The entertainment business is a dangerous environment that everyone is not built for!”

He then alleged that she originally came forward because of money. “I do think you and your lawyers should give it a rest,” Flex wrote. “You threatened to drop a book then got paid out to not drop the book! (if you cared so much to get your message out you would’ve dropped the book.) I get it… it’s a case.. You had to testify… you 30mil up and 10mil up from hotel! You plan this ‘lick’ please don’t be mad at me but I don’t see u as a ‘victim.’ You was young, Diddy made bad choices and you made bad choices! When do u plan to teach girls not to make the same mistakes you made? Just my opinion! @cassie.”

Then, in a second post in which Flex shared a not guilty graphic from NBC News, he wrote that he hoped everyone can “find peace and move on” while calling the case a “witch hunt” and said that he would be talking more about the verdict on his Hot 97 radio show on Thursday night.

“I hope everyone involved in this case can now find peace and move on,” he said. “Diddy has made mistakes… feels like he has been judged by a jury and he can move on with his life… I’ve known Diddy a long time… I played his parties… I’ve never seen anything out of order… this case was such a stretch and witch hunt… I hope Cassie and Jane doe will find peace with the verdict!”

Diddy was denied bail and will have to stay in custody until his sentencing date, which might be in October. Cassie released a statement through her legal team, asking that the judge deny his bail because she believes he’s a threat to those who testified. “Ms. Ventura believes that Mr. Combs is likely to pose a danger to the victims who testified in this case, including herself, as well as to the community,” Douglas Wigdor told the judge in a letter.
