Paid Protestors at Diddy's Trial Spark Controversy

Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial took an unexpected turn with the revelation that individuals were paid $20 an hour to wear shirts supporting the rapper outside the New York courthouse. Sali Coulibaly, speaking to The Daily Beast, confirmed receiving such an offer. The shirts promoted a cryptocurrency, $DIDDY, reportedly launched by Diddy's sons. This marketing tactic drew immediate backlash, with rapper 50 Cent labeling it "diabolical." The incident raises ethical concerns about exploiting vulnerable individuals for publicity stunts. While Diddy's representatives deny involvement, his past marketing strategies bear a striking resemblance to this recent incident. The trial continues, with Combs facing serious charges.
