Young Thug Backs Diddy on Adin Ross Livestream Ahead of Sentencing

The shoutout lands days before a judge weighs an 11-year bid from prosecutors against a 14-month request from Combs' defense.

Overview

  • During a Kick stream on Sept. 30–Oct. 1, Young Thug entered Ross’s room with a bottle of baby oil and made a suggestive motion as Ross exclaimed, “No baby oil over here, bro.”
  • The rapper said, “Free the OG Diddy,” and added that he is praying for Diddy to get out after the sentencing hearing scheduled for Friday, Oct. 3.
  • Clips of the exchange spread widely across social platforms, drawing a mix of confusion, criticism, and jokes from viewers.
  • Diddy was convicted in July on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, and he returns to federal court this week for sentencing.
  • Prosecutors have asked for about 11 years and three months and a $500,000 fine, while Diddy’s lawyers urge no more than 14 months, and a judge recently rejected his final bid to dismiss the remaining charges.
