Nick Cannon felt like Diddy was “evolving” before the legal drama

Nick Cannon shares his view on the allegations surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs.

“The Puff that I knew I started seeing, I felt like he wanted to change and evolve and be like, ‘Yo, I wanna be the dad,’” Cannon, 44, shared on the Monday, Oct. 21 episode of the podcast ‘No Jumper’. ‘He had been through so much…’
