G. Dep, who concluded a decade-plus prison sentence for murder earlier this month, is open to working with former label boss Diddy despite the multiple allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct recently made against him.
On Monday (April 15), the Bad Boy Records alum album joined Fox 5 New York for an interview to discuss his plans now that he is once again a free man. During the chat, he even addressed the mogul’s ongoing troubles with the law while stating that he wants to reunite regardless.

“I’m like, ‘When? When did that happen?'” he said about the antics Diddy has been accused of. “We were in the studio for months on end with each other. So I don’t know where this is coming from.
“People should give people the benefit of the doubt. If somebody just saying that you did something, you know people can say anything.”

He then directly addressed the record executive, telling the camera: “[I] got a lot of songs, bro. I’m looking for you so we can get some type of musical situation going.”
During his first post-prison interview with The Art Of Dialogue earlier this week, the 49-year-old revealed that Diddy never visited him in prison.
“He reached out to me inadvertently,” the rapper said. “Like videos and [a] couple of interviews, I head him shout me out […] I couldn’t expect too much from anybody — that wasn’t what type of time that was. I went in there on my own volition.”
The veteran MC attempted to rob somebody at gunpoint back in 1993, with the ensuing scuffle leading to the death of a man named John Henkel. The murder went unsolved until 2010, when he confessed to the killing, resulting in him later being sentenced to 15 years to life in prison.
During the same interview, he also spoke about about why he confessed to the crime long after it happened.

“In order to restore balance to my life and someone’s family, I wanted to turn myself in and see what happened,” he said. “I was willing to put myself on the line, whether or not he passed on. I just needed to get that off my mind.”
