Country music legend has 4 words for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs after arrest
Mark Chesnutt has had one of the more remarkable stories in the entertainment industry this year.
The country music legend had to have a life-saving surgery just months ago, and he is already back out on tour performing for his fans. He is also, apparently, keeping an eye on the news because he has weighed in on the arrest of rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Sure, Chesnutt probably isn’t the person folks would figure would be giving his thoughts on this one, but it’s 2024 and social media has made just about anything possible.
Combs, of course, was taken into custody on federal charges that reportedly included sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. It is not looking good for “Diddy.”
How does Chesnutt feel about that? Four words.
“Not pitty for Diddy,” the legendary singer posted on his Instagram account.
“This was not on my 2024 bingo card,” one fan responded.
Indeed.
Many of Chesnutt’s fans agreed, and, judging by the charges, rightfully so. Time will tell how the court case works out.
Anyway, Chesnutt recently announced to his fans, “I’m back.”
The 61-year-old hit the stage earlier this month after undergoing a quadruple bypass surgery back in June.
His medical scare came just months after he was forced to cancel a pair of shows last November. A post to his X, formerly Twitter, account back then said that he was “undergoing a medical evaluation after being admitted to a local hospital.”
Chesnutt rose to stardom in the early 90s and has a long list of albums and hit songs in his catalog. Among those, Chesnutt has had 20 top-10 hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. Eight of those 20 songs — “Brother Jukebox,” “It Sure Is Monday,” “I’ll Think of Something,” “I Just Wanted You to Know,” “Gonna Get a Life,” “Almost Goodbye,” “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,” and “It’s a Little Too Late,” all hit number-one on the charts.
