Ep. 16 | Diddy aka Did He or Did She feat. Jason "Jah" Lee
About this Episode
In this powerful and necessary conversation on Selective Ignorance, Mandii B joined by special guest Jason "Jah" Lee (Bossip, CNN) alongside A-King and Jayson Rodriguez take a close look at the ongoing Diddy trial and the broader conversations it has sparked around consent, abuse, and accountability—especially when wealth and celebrity are involved.
The episode opens with a personal [00:00] introduction and book announcement, a quick recap of the Joey Bada$$ vs. The West Coast rap battle before diving into [02:48] the public perception surrounding the allegations against Diddy. Mandii explores how narratives are shaped by media coverage, and the often unfair scrutiny survivors face compared to their abusers. From there, the conversation moves into [05:53] the role of consent in relationships, with a clear and honest discussion on how power dynamics complicate the idea of choice. [08:55] Cassie’s testimony becomes a central focus, prompting a larger reflection on the emotional toll of sharing traumatic experiences in the public eye.
The episode continues with a critical look at [12:08] how wealth and status can insulate abusers from accountability, and [15:04] the difficult conversations around victimhood, responsibility, and survival. Mandii also delves into [17:58] the gray areas of kink, coercion, and consent misunderstandings, pushing back on society’s tendency to oversimplify complex situations.
The discussion takes a cultural turn with [20:45] a look at the broader repercussions of abuse in our communities, including [24:01] how gender plays a major role in how victims are viewed and treated. Mandii reflects on [27:13] how society must do more to protect survivors, not silence them. As the conversation deepens, the episode explores [29:58] the need for self-reflection, compassion, and cultural change. It then transitions to [39:19] how apologies and accountability are often performative, especially in the spotlight, and [42:07] how misogyny continues to shape the perception of women in these narratives.
Mandii and the team unpack [45:08] the toxic impact of celebrity culture, [52:51] how jealousy plays into relationships, and [59:15] the public’s ongoing obsession with fame, asking how it distorts our values and responses to harm. The episode closes with [01:03:25] a forward-looking discussion on what real justice and accountability could look like, both in the court of law and in our everyday lives.
