He opened his Instagram rant by acknowledging what the 38-year-old artist has dealt with since a young age, commending her character, and wishing her and her family peace as they process their pain. “THE ENTERTAINMENT [BUSINESS] IS A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT THAT EVERYONE IS NOT BUILT FOR!” he wrote. In the rest of this post, his tone changed drastically. “I DO THINK YOU AND YOUR LAWYERS SHOULD GIVE IT A REST!” he added. “YOU THREATENED TO DROP A BOOK THEN GOT PAID OUT TO NOT DROP THE BOOK! ( IF YOU CARED SO MUCH TO GET YOUR MESSAGE OUT YOU WOULD OF DROPPED THE BOOK) I GET IT… ITS A CASE.. YOU HAD TO TESTIFY… YOU 30Mil UP AND 10Mil UP FROM HOTEL! Flex continued by saying the “Me & U” singer was attempting to get her “lick back” on Puff and that he did not see her as a victim. “YOU WAS YOUNG, DIDDY MADE BAD CHOICES AND YOU MADE BAD CHOICES!” he wrote. “WHEN DO U PLAN TO TEACH GIRLS NOT TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES YOU MADE?
