Like every well-known name in some niche, Sean Combs, aka Diddy, extended his power over the music industry and became a household name in the industry. Arrested on charges of sex trafficking and other assaults against women, the music mogul has seen several theories involving his name emerge — most of them false. One of them includes Mariah Carey, who would have suffered at the hands of the businessman allied with her ex-husband, Tommy Motola, to whom she was married between 1993 and 1998.

What is Mariah Carey’s relationship with the Diddy case?

Like Diddy, Motola became one of the biggest names in the music industry in the United States. He became very close to the rapper, who was arrested on September 16. After the divorce, what is said, according to some reports from people close to her, is that Mariah suffered a boycott by record companies, as people close to the artist have already reported.

Another well-known character in this story is Michael Jackson, who died in 2009. During a concert, the pop star called Tommy Motola, without mincing words, a “devil”. At the time, he claimed that the businessman was stalking Mariah, who was his friend.

What does the song ‘She knows’ say?

Speculations surrounding the case cite the song “She knows” by J. Cole as an indirect reference to Mariah, who would be the only woman to know all the “dirt” about the managers. According to rumors and analyses without factual basis, the lyrics would also contain evidence that the producers were involved in the death of Michael Jackson and singer Aaliyah, victim of a plane crash in 2001.
