Skitmaker Shank Comics (Adesokan Adedeji Emmanuel) says his post was irresponsible and wrong. He apologised after an old tweet about Diddy resurfaced online.
The original post praised Diddy’s mindset and his drive. He later pointed to a Netflix series on Diddy claims https://validupdates.com/2025/12/50-cent-netflix-doc-exposes-19-fresh-claims-against-diddy/.
Shank told followers the tweet was a misguided attempt at a movie reference. He said the wording came out wrong and caused harm.
He wrote that he does not admire, defend, or support Diddy in any way. He added that the allegations against Diddy are horrific and must be answered.
The comedian said victims deserve justice and every proper consequence. He said he is committed to using his platform more carefully.
Why the post landed badly
Shank’s short praise struck many as tone deaf and alarming online. Users noted Diddy’s recent court attention and said the timing was poor.
The streamer responded quickly after criticism grew on X and other platforms. He deleted the original post and then issued the clarification.
Social reaction pushed the issue into wider debate about influence and taste. Other creators thanked him for clarifying his stance.
Wider context and fallout
The Netflix series and renewed reporting have put Diddy back in public focus. That coverage has prompted fresh public discussion and new reporting on his case.
Shank’s clarification sits alongside renewed coverage of Diddy’s case and the recent reporting on allegations and legal outcomes https://validupdates.com/2025/10/diddy-sentence-adds-500k-fine-judge-sets-50-months/.
Fans and critics say creators must think before posting about sensitive topics. Many urged Shank to read more before praising public figures with contested records.
Shank said he accepts the lesson and will do better going forward. He also encouraged victims to get the justice they deserve.
What Shank says next
He promised to be mindful and to avoid repeating the mistake. He also noted he will reflect on how his words affect others.
The streamer’s U-turn ended the immediate flare-up but not the wider chat. Online users still debate how creators should respond to complex news.
Shank’s clarification offers a quick case study for influencers about context and care. Many commentators hope the episode leads to clearer public norms
