The 2020 presidential election has become a source of contention for Diddy and his old pal Kenny Burns.
In a video chat with Naomi Campbell, the Bad Boy Records founder said Democratic candidate Joe Biden couldn’t get the black vote unless the former vice president had a plan to improve the community’s lives.
“Biden needs to make it clear that he’s gonna change the lives and quality of life of black and brown people or else he can’t get the vote,” Diddy said. “I will hold the vote hostage if I have to.”
In the Instagram clip’s caption, he noted, “Attention to all … THE BLACK VOTE WILL NOT BE FREE THIS YEAR.”
Diddy’s threat to hold the vote “hostage” didn’t sit well with his longtime friend Burns, who voiced his displeasure in a comment.
“Puff this statement is Very Irresponsible at this Point,” he argued. “THE ONLY OPTION iS TO GET TRUMP OUT OF OFFiCE. Come on Champ!!! Encouraging People to Stand by is NOT AN OPTiON. #VoteOrDie.”
Following the political disagreement, Diddy blocked Burns on Instagram. This led to more tension between the music executives.
“WOW @Diddy,” Burns wrote. “You erase My Truthful Comment and keep the VOTE FOR TRUMP comments on Your Page Then You Block Me…lol And You’re really going to wait til it’s 2 Candidates to say that Your Holding ‘Our Vote’… Come on Champ!”
He added, “This is NOT Leadership!!! Where were You during the primaries??? What Happened to #VoteOrDie??? TRUMP BEiNG PUT OUT OF OFFiCE iS THE ONLY OPTiON!!! PERiOD.”
Although Diddy blocked Burns over the dispute, he seemingly reacted to the pushback in a comment of his own.
“To whom it may concern it’s called BLACK LEVERAGE,” he wrote. “THIS IS NOT FOR ANY OF YOU SCARRED TO DEATH TOM NEGROES! Love. This is #SMOKE.”
Diddy Says He's On A Mission To 'Bring True R&B Back'
The social media back-and-forth isn’t the first time the two have publicly clashed. Diddy and Burns also butted heads at an Atlanta club in 2011, but those problems were quickly diffused.
“Immediately after the club, myself and him went behind the cars and talked like men,” Burns told MTV News at the time. “We talked it out.”

Diddy is a tom negro. The nerve & secondly who still votes? lol. Selected not elected.
I mean…we have to participate in the process until we have enough sway to change it.
To change it? We had a fucking black president lmao. Mind u, he was oruely an establishment politician, chosen by the elites of our country and world… Nah, it’s not changing the system for black people to do well… It’s people doing things for themselves.
blacks need to stop waiting that somebody is doing something for them. We all eating a giant sh*t Sandwich every day. If you wants something, get up and get it yourself like everyone else in this country. Stop shooting through hoods, stop glorifying gang culture, stop the crimes, get your education and work hard. believe me, that will do wonders.
Niggas will vote for the same people who have passed the very policies that lead to record high black incarceration lmfao… Shit, 90%+ blacks voted for Clinton. Clinton crime bill created the “3 strike rule” which lead to record amounts of life sentences over petty crimes.
Didnt u say u were asian before?
Stop looking for politicians to solve YOUR problems. IT’S UP TO YOU TO HAVE A GOOD LIFE.
This is the realest comment in the whole thread. The Democrat party has had a stranglehold on the black community for decades, because they’ve convinced them that they’ll solve all their problems. Well how’s that working out? The Dems get elected and forget all about black people until the next election cycle. Rinse and repeat.
Black dems always want something handed or rules made for them… get tf up n get to the bag or schooling. End of story. This pity me victim mentality and my race shit ended in 2019.
Fool, shut the fuck up. Nobody hustles more than black people in this shitty ass country that stacks rules against us. It’s why so many black people are saying fuck it and not voting for any of this stupid ass shit because we know how to get to the money any way. I know I wasn’t one of these dumb mofos waiting for massah to send a check out to me to survive because I plotted to take care of mine before shit hit the fan.
i beg you to go to the middle east or africa and tell me how shitty this country is. you sound like youve never left your block. let alone the country. wow youve saved money? humble brag, so i take it youll be giving your check back? maybe to the community since this country is so shitty. hardo.
You go dummy. I’m here where people have two sets of rules for everything unless you’re one of these Sambos entertaining them. Take your bitch ass to Russia or some shithole like that.
Finally this homo shows his true colors… pink and yellow. He’s always been a d**k swallowing coward and now he’s a Trumpster too because he doesn’t see any potential profit out of Joe Biden becoming President. Said it before and I’ll say it again…Diddy is a snake and should never be trusted…Ask Mase.
Don’t trust him- I don’t take it as PDiddy being pro Trump. I take it as him using his own name and position to push Clown ass retard Biden into being more active in getting black votes. Unless I skipped the part where Diddy endorsed someone, than I would not declare him for either side yet.
I always love these people claiming to speak for us. Hell, Sean has more in common with upper middle class white folks, so why isn’t he saying how they’re going to vote?
Cuz Diddy loves the taste of black d**k more so he’s gotta to protect his supply line indirectly lol…Diddy has always been a DL shady nigga since day one.
Crazy how the moguls lead the culture into treacherous waters – the BEST thing ye ever did was vote right and he’ll probably go down as a martyr for it. Why does one race have to vote the same way? It does not make sense in a Democracy
Diddy uses race consistantely as a way to line his pockets. Were in quarantine and he found a way to be racial twice. Hes dying to be mlk or sum
Do you even know what martyr means ignorant fuck? Kanye stupid ass isn’t going down as anything but crazy.
Silence, Saltine!!!!
DOUBLE F*CK DUDDY! Lame Azz Wack Azz Worst cRapper Ever, KILLING Millions of Youth every Year POLLUTING with Hard Alcohol, with Drunk Driving Manslaughters, Murders due to Infidelity and Jealousy DRUNK & ALCOHOLISM destroying the black communities! No One Made Him KING of the blacks, go back to your corny IG twerkin’ and dating your Son’s girlfriends! G T F O H !
You forgot to add homo and possible rapist in there too
so diddy says to choose who u feel is best not who they want you to choose. wow what a statement. too bad it means nothing.
I’m tired of people acting like brown skinned people need any help. We do not need to be on government assistance. We need to come together and ban all negative influence in music, films, education and literature. Stop promoting idiots like Cardi B who push socialism and old commie like Bernie. We need to bring back god and stop being godless individuals. Stop buying into this TDS chit and just get with it. Trump is the only president who has even helped his people, the American people, look what he did for the farmers of our country. The Dems want to kill all American owned farms and are working hard to do it using this virus scam. Never vote Democrat again. The D party is using this manufactured crisis to turn America into China. Facts.
buy my records. I can capitalise off of endorsing biden. trump 4 more years. M.A.G.A..
To hell with black people getting something in return for vote, we got to get Trump out of office.
I know that Joe Biden has been in politics for almost 40 years, I know that he hasn’t done anything for blacks during the time he’s been in Washington, D.C.
He’s going to do something if we help him get Trump out the White House.
What has Trump done negatively to the Black people? I know there are some positives like lowest unemployment rate, but enlighten me on the negative.
I’ve been wondering the same thing. “Racist!” they all shout in unison. Then when you ask them to provide examples – silence.
Are you fucking kidding me don’t give that asshole any ammo wake up don’t be a bitch
My reply was to that siza. Sounds like a Russian
fuck politicians!!! they do not give a fuck about the people.
Joe Biden has dementia. They just propping him up into office.
