Wendy Williams has had so much to say about Diddy on her show over the years. She even told “The Wendy Williams” audience that Diddy commanded the three members of his label’s R&B group Total to attack her outside the Hot 97 offices in the ’90s. However, she didn’t mention him by name. “Once upon a time there was a music mogul who sent his all-girl group to beat my a**,” the talk show host recalled. While the experience left her understandably upset at the time, she said that it made her aspire to further her career.
Once Williams moved from radio to TV, Diddy provided her with plenty of material for her “Hot Topics” segments. And fans rewatching clips of her show still find her personal anecdotes about Diddy riveting. “Wendy can tell the Total story 100 times and I will listen. It never gets old,” reads one YouTube comment.
In “The Wendy Williams Experience,” Williams informs her readers that she’s actually grateful to Diddy, thanks in part to his many legal woes, romantic entanglements, and beefs with other musicians. Of the man she would eventually make amends with, she writes, “If he doesn’t like what’s written about him, he has only himself to blame. Puffy is a person who stays in the news. That is one thing he has done for my career — giving me much to talk about. And I love him for that.”
