Zakharova Comments on the Scandal Surrounding Rapper P. Diddy

Rapper and producer Sean Combs, known as P. Diddy, speaks to the systemic nature of American celebrities' criminal life, stated Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, in an interview with Russia Today.

According to her, American scandalous artists are involved in a criminal system built over decades, with a focus on violence against children, including pedophilia. The diplomat added that this system had a mafia-clan structure, in which the political and state community also participated.

“American authorities need to start addressing their 'home' issues rather than fighting with journalists,” noted Zakharova.

Rapper P. Diddy has become the subject of numerous sexual assault claims. In February, it was reported that American singer Cassandra Ventura filed a sexual assault lawsuit against Sean Combs. Later, the rapper’s son, 26-year-old Christian Combs, also came under scrutiny for allegations of assault.
