Ex-Bad Boy star Loon was released from prison on Thursday (July 30) after serving nearly a decade for drug-related charges. Signed to the Diddy-helmed label in the early 2000s, Loon appeared on Diddy hits such as “I Need A Girl (Part One)” and “I Need A Girl (Part Two).”
Upon his release, Loon shared a photo of himself with Akon’s label executive brother Bu Thaim and two other friends standing in front of a Rolls Royce. Diddy, who evidently peruses The Shade Room’s Instagram account, commented underneath the photo, writing, “God is great. Welcome home. Get at me king. Love.”
Diddy’s comment prompted over 1,300 responses — and not all of them were positive. Many wondered why the Hip Hop mogul would use social media rather than simply reaching out to Loon privately. Others felt Diddy’s sentiments sounded hallow. There were also a few accusations thrown in there suggesting Diddy was responsible for Loon’s downfall.
In 2016, over a dozen celebrities sent a letter to Donald Trump, asking him to grant Loon clemency for his minor role in the non-violent drug offense.
The letter was signed by Snoop Dogg, former NBA champion Kevin Garnett, music industry executive Jason Flom, movie producer Scott Budnick (The Hangover), Grammy-winners Faith Evans and Stevie J, Roc Nation rapper Freeway, Baby Bash, fashion model Jeremy Meeks and recent clemency recipient Alice Johnson, whose sentence was commuted by Trump after a widely circulated campaign by Kim Kardashian.
On June 2, Loon’s attorney filed an “instant compassionate release” motion. In that document, Loon expressed concern over COVID-19, explaining he suffers from latent tuberculosis and has battled acute laryngopharyngitis, acute bronchitis, and bronchopneumonia in the past. Subsequently, the 45-year-old was granted a “compassionate release” from Coleman Low, a Federal Correctional Institution in Florida this week.
Loon converted to Islam in 2008 and changed his name to Amir Junaid Muhadith, putting the man previously known as Loon behind him. Whatever Diddy wants to talk about remains to be seen.
I’d like to see this dude break the badboy curse.
Don’t report samesha
Nigga, The fuck is wrong with you… guess you like getting fucked over and want to go back to prison. Diddy is only out for free publicity and since Loon isn’t a rapper anymore, it’s only a matter of time before he screws him over again if he stays too close to him. Keep your distance from this snake unless you want to get bit again.
To be honest, Diddy is just trying to show the world that he looks out for loon, but in fact he wasnt there when shit went down. Mutah showed loon love years ago, same with snoop and others. Diddy needs publicity thats it
This guy sold heroin. U know the drug that is killing our friends and family.
Yeah, and he did his time. A lot of it. Should we just execute everyone who ever committed a crime? Whassup with everybody being so unforgiving and blood thirsty for punishment now? But if it was you, you’d deserve another chance, right? of course.
Your friends and family
Not mines.
Drugs are what makes this world go round.
You definitely square
He probably wants him close to make sure Loon doesn’t start selling old Badboy stories that will taint his Puffy’s image. Or maybe he’s just showing love. It just seems like there’s always an agenda though.
Man fuck P shitty an Bad Boi. Biggie dead Shyn did time Mase left. Diddy own his masters. Loon need listen to his on Tune an keep it moving without P shitty. His record label is done . Keep it moving Loon if you fuck wit Diddy your Doomed. Real Spill
??? you call him P. Shitty ?? here in Oklahoma I call him P. Bitchy ??
So I guess that makes you a Oklahomo then….makes sense
I don’t think Puff even ever acknowledged Craig Mack’s death. I mean I guess good for him for reaching out to Loon, but he just comes off as such a snake I find it hard to believe he has good underlying intentions.
And what about G-Dep?
I’m usually first in line to talk shit about Puff BUT he did acknowledged Craig Macks death. Said if it wasn’t for Craigs first hit song then Bad Boy would be bankrupt before they even got started.
Notice that he always comes around dudes right out of prison. Careful,Loon…Diddy looking to show you why he’s called Brother Love.
He’s likes ya, and he wants ya…you can do this the easy way or the hard way…the choice is yours…lol
Loon ain’t going for that. He really a real one. Diddy know.
That’s what Ma$e thought the second time he got back with Diddy. He was never the same after that. Poor Poor, Mason Betha….Diddy fucked him so hard that he can’t even stand up to pee anymore. No publishing,no royalties, no songwriter credits,no nothing.
Puff just trying to let Loon know that his meat his Halal, if he wanted to try some .
Fuck puffy snake
I’m going to
Aye!!!!…Coleman…Fla bih!!!
IF DIDDY WAS NOT RIPPING HIM OFF AND PAYING HIM GOOD HE WOULD HAVE NOT HAVE TO SELL DRUGS.HE PROBABLY STILL WANT TO F——K HIM ABOUT HIS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS.THATS THE ONLY REASON THAT SNAKE WANT TO GET AT HIM.
Probably got a new album dropping needs a ghostwriter
HAHAHAHAHAH
