On Thursday, October 2, Young Thug made headlines during a nearly three-hour Kick livestream with controversial streamer Adin Ross. While the session covered Thug’s new project, UY Scuti, his favorite artists, and more, it was a playful but surprising comment about Sean “Diddy” Combs that immediately caught viewers’ attention.
The stream started off awkwardly, with Young Thug exploring Ross’s room. He then stumbled upon a bottle of baby oil, prompting a humorous reaction from the streamer:
“What the f*ck are you doing with that?” Ross exclaimed. “Aye, aye, aye! No baby oil over here, bro.”
Young Thug handed the bottle back to Ross and added with a grin:
“Free the OG Diddy, man.”
Ross looked initially shocked but quickly jumped on the statement:
“Alright, free Diddy… If he said it, ‘I’m Free Diddy,’ too.”
The playful moment quickly went viral, especially considering the timing. Just hours later, on Friday, October 3, Sean Combs was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison after being found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
Diddy’s Conviction and Sentencing
The verdict closed a high-profile trial that began nearly two months ago, with Diddy originally convicted in July 2025. While acquitted of more serious charges—including racketeering and sex trafficking—the Mann Act convictions secured his prison sentence.
Following the sentencing, Cassie Ventura’s attorneys, Douglas Wigdor and Meredith Firetog, released a statement highlighting the ongoing impact of the case:
“Nothing can undo the trauma caused by Combs,” they said.
The statement continued:
“We are confident that with the support of her family and friends, Ms. Ventura will continue healing knowing that her bravery and fortitude have been an inspiration to so many.”
Fans React to Thug’s “Free Diddy” Moment
Social media quickly exploded over Young Thug’s support for the Bad Boy mogul, with fans sharing clips and memes from the stream. Many pointed out the irony of the timing, noting that Thug’s plea for Diddy came just a day before the sentencing.
Despite the humor and camaraderie on Ross’s stream, the courtroom proceedings were far from lighthearted, as Diddy faces a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release after his prison term.
