Ed Lover, the DJ and former Yo! MTV Raps host, acknowledged the humor in certain situations, conceding that he himself had recently made a joke about Diddy, specifically regarding Diddy's former valet Fonzworth Bentley staying quiet amidst the growing controversy. However, Lover contended that 50 Cent has been excessively relentless in his mockery. He emphasized that while humor has its place, 50 Cent's continuous barrage of jokes directed at Diddy, especially during a challenging time, crosses a line and feels like piling on when someone is already facing difficulties.

In the same episode, Ed Lover delved into various facets of the 54-year-old mogul's predicament. His perspective echoed that of Uncle Luke, who had previously voiced similar sentiments at the end of last month. Both suggested that Diddy's current challenges stem from a retaliatory stance taken by the liquor company Diageo. This retaliation allegedly follows Diddy's decision to take legal action against Diageo for racial discrimination, leading to the termination of their business relationship last year. Lover emphasized the formidable influence of Diageo, characterizing them as a formidable force in the industry. He echoed Uncle Luke's assertion that Diddy is facing a formidable adversary, insinuating that this entity's power and influence are at the heart of Diddy's current woes.

Lover highlighted Diageo's significant standing as the second- or third-largest alcohol distribution company globally. He suggested that Diddy's decision to file a lawsuit against them for racial discrimination appeared to trigger a series of subsequent events. This included the emergence of various challenges for Diddy in the aftermath. Lover hinted at the involvement of influential parties with financial resources, indicating that someone with substantial means may be exerting pressure on Diddy. 

Echoing Uncle Luke's sentiments expressed in a recent Instagram Live stream, he portrayed a scenario where successful individuals are elevated by major corporations to serve their interests. This elevation, akin to being put on a pedestal, is strategically orchestrated by these corporations to maintain control and influence. Uncle Luke likened this dynamic to a form of manipulation, likening it to tactics employed in the world of pimping. He illustrated the repercussions faced by those who challenge these corporations, emphasizing the adage "never bite the hand that feeds you." According to Uncle Luke, when individuals like Diddy pursue legal action against these corporate giants, they face swift and aggressive retaliation aimed at protecting the interests of the corporation at any cost.
