Sean “Diddy” Combs will use his 2022 Billboard Audio Awards internet hosting and govt producer roles to distribute “love and forgiveness” all-around some formerly unlovable dudes.
The entertainment mogul, 52, backed the show’s decision to consist of rapper Travis Scott and nation singer Morgan Wallen in its star-studded performance lineup.
In point, Diddy “demanded” that Scott execute.
“I mentioned, ‘My brother Travis Scott has to perform’ … And NBC mentioned yes,” Diddy stated in an Instagram video.
“As a musical family, none of us are saints none of us are with out points that occur to them in life,” he explained in a Billboard job interview.
“So one particular of the factors I’m performing directly is uncanceling the canceled. Which is breaking information simply because people today have not been about uncanceling. But canceling is a pattern that wants to quit,” he reported of the popular Gen Z craze.
“Travis went through a tragedy Morgan [used the N-word] when conversing to his boy,” the self-proclaimed “Primetime Puff” reminded visitors. “People make faults. Now we’re going on with like and regard for everyone that was hurt or afflicted. It is time to forgive.”
“To have Morgan and Travis be able to arrive back again and contact the phase all over again with the mentality of obtaining a next likelihood at lifetime. Everybody in the home is obtaining a next chance at everyday living, you know, because we’re again inside of with no masks on. We require appreciate and I’m psyched about celebrating that.”
Equally Scott’s and Wallen’s professions took a strike in 2021.
Movie recorded by a neighbor of Wallen, who is white, drunkenly yelling the slur went viral in February. Whilst protection of the incident seemingly helped his electronic album and song profits, according to NBC, radio stations banned his tunes and Huge Loud Documents suspended his deal “indefinitely.”
The “Wasted on You” singer, 29, was dropped from streaming solutions and deemed ineligible for the Academy of Region Tunes and Region Audio Television Awards.
He finally apologized for the remark on Instagram and admitted the word arrived from a “72-hour bender.” He attended rehab, took months off from executing and apologized once again on “Good Early morning The us,” but couldn’t shake the outcomes of the incident.
In November, he introduced “The Risky Tour,” which kicked off in February. The tour will finish in October.
Meanwhile, Scott, now 31, has been laying very low at any time considering the fact that 10 people today have been trampled to death at his annual Astroworld Competition in Houston on Nov. 5.
The “Goosebumps” rapper, the venue and the competition promoters have been slapped with in excess of 100 lawsuits from the incident.
Houston Law enforcement Main Troy Finner claimed he individually warned Scott about “public safety” in his trailer ahead of the deadly occasion.
Social media was outraged as soon as video clips of followers passing out in the stampede surfaced. Scott paused the display a number of occasions but obtained backlash when the show proceeded in spite of the crowd’s “stop the show” chants, as nicely as an ambulance aiding struggling supporters.
Scott and “Sicko Mode” collaborator Drake celebrated at Dave and Buster’s right after the party.
Scott informed Charlamagne tha God that he did not know just about anything about the tragedy until “minutes just before the [police] push conference.”
He carried out for the 1st time considering that Astroworld on Saturday all through the Miami Grand Prix in Florida at E11EVEN nightclub.
But all of that is outdated information to Diddy.
The 2022 Billboard New music Awards start off at 8 p.m. Sunday on NBC or streaming on Peacock.
