Too $hort Saying He'd Go to Diddy's Welcome-Home Party Was a Bad Look, but Did He Really Need to Apologize?
Too $hort caught backlash after saying he'd attend Diddy's welcome-home party when he gets out of prison. Now the Oakland legend has apologized, saying his comments were insensitive.
I get loyalty. Knowing somebody for years doesn't mean you support everything they've done.
But there's a difference between maintaining a friendship and publicly celebrating somebody after the world watched that disturbing footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie.
Short should've known that comment wouldn't sit right with people.
At the same time, I don't think every rapper who ever associated with Diddy should automatically be treated like they're guilty of something.
Too $hort is still a West Coast legend, but legends aren't above criticism.
Personally, I think he had every right to maintain his friendship, but publicly announcing he'd celebrate Diddy's release was unnecessary.
What y'all think? Was Too $hort wrong for showing loyalty, or did the internet pressure him into apologizing?
