The severity of the allegations has resulted in bad PR for the rap mogul which has seen athletes like Super Bowl winner, Patrick Mahomes distance himself from him by scrubbing off old tweets. Now, LeBron James finds himself under the microscope for his past connections with Diddy.

The old video that resurfaced on social media is the kind of attention James has avoided all throughout his career that had tainted the legacies of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. That’s why when it was dug out, it caused a storm all over the basketball community.

James has always had friends in the music industry like Drake, 2Chainz, Travis Scott and Jay Z. However, despite Diddy and his legal team’s attempt to debunk all the alleged crimes, his association with James have come under intense scrutiny in light of the ongoing legal battle.
