Diddy vs Kanye, Filters and the Voting Scam

In an interview on the Sam Roberts Show, Diddy was confronted with his previous comments calling voting a "scam." While Diddy attempted to walk back the statement, the hosts highlight the transcript where he explicitly called the process "full of shit." They compare Diddy's filtered, business-minded approach to Kanye West's lack of filters, noting that it is difficult for billionaires to speak with total freedom due to their corporate interests.
