Diddy Says He Stopped The Music Because It Has Curses & Not For Twerking

Diddy was heavily criticized and tagged a ‘hypocrite’ after he forced Lizzo to stop twerking on Live because it’s Easter Sunday but allowed Draya’s raunchy dance.

Diddy and his sons, Quincy and rapper King Combs, were dancing along with Lizzo on Live and when Diddy was off-camera for a brief moment, Lizzo started twerking.

When Diddy realized what was happening, he quickly rushed to the screen and informed Lizzo that it was a family event and that there would be no twerking on Easter Sunday. The pop superstar apologized and kept the remainder of her moves PG.

Not long after, Draya was live with Diddy and his family, she started twerking and surprisingly, he didn’t shut down her twerk unlike that of Lizzo. The act immediately got folks online outraged and they started dragging the business mogul on twitter.

Apparently, everything that happened on live was misinterpreted and Diddy has come out to clarify things. He explained that he took issues with the lyrics of the song playing and not Lizzo’s twerk. “There’s one thing that I wanna make clear,” he moved to clarify.

“My queen, my sister, Lizzo, when I stopped the music, it’s because it had a lot of curses in there. Not because she was twerking. She’s one of the best twerkers in the world, okay? So let’s keep that clear. It wasn’t about twerking. You’re allowed to twerk on Easter. There was a lot of cursing on the record and I don’t need child services knocking on my door right now, you understand?”
