New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on federal criminal charges, and social media is revisiting an old tweet he made about Sean “Diddy” Combs.
While the details of the charges against Adams are sealed, he has faced scrutiny over his fundraising for the 2021 mayoral campaign. The situation drew renewed attention after he gave Diddy a key to the city in September 2023, shortly before Diddy was arrested. Adams’ tweet celebrated Diddy, stating, “He might be the ‘bad boy’ of entertainment, but Sean Combs will forever be a New York City kid who made good.”
However, the key was rescinded nine months later after a video of Diddy allegedly assaulting Cassie surfaced, which deeply disturbed Adams. Now, with both men facing serious legal issues, users on X (formerly Twitter) are humorously speculating about the possibility of them being in the same prison.
Comments have ranged from joking about sharing a cell to comparing the situation to a Gotham-like scenario. The internet seems to be reveling in the irony, especially given Adams’ controversial tenure, which included budget cuts to public libraries and allegations of corruption. Adams maintains his innocence and urges New Yorkers to await his defense.
