Rap legend Willie D, of the Geto Boys, says music mogul Clive Davis threw his friend Sean “Puffy” Combs under the bus.
In a video on his Youtube channel, Willie D called Davis out for abandoning Combs when the chips are down.
TMZ recently caught up with Davis and asked him about Combs’ status in the music industry. Willie described Davis’s response: “Clive looked at him and laughed… and Clive looked at the guy who was escorting him and said, ‘I can’t hear you.’”
“That’s cold, that’s cold” said Willie, “because, you know, Diddy has made Clive a lot of money… Bad Boy sold a lot of records.”

Willie repeated rumors that Clive “groomed Diddy.”
He continued: “I think Clive Davis was faking when dude asked him about the status of Diddy and he said the status of what? He trying to act like he didn’t hear him. I think he was faking. Now, he don’t necessarily have to speak on the Diddy situation. But to act like he didn’t even hear him. Act like he didn’t even know Diddy?”
Willie accused Davis of being disloyal to his friend and mentee.
“That underscores one of the things that a lot of our parents told us growing up: ‘You ain’t got no friends.’”
Willie added: “I mean when it really boil down to it, most of these people out here who you consider a friend, man they’ll throw you under a bus to save their own skin.”
Willie went on to say Clive should be under investigation. The rap legend didn’t go into details, but he suggested that Combs learned his predatory behavior from perhaps the biggest pervert in the business.
