Montell Williams Slams MAGA For Bizarrely Confusing Him With Diddy In A Resurfaced Video With Kamala Harris

The only thing Montel Williams and Sean “Diddy” Combs have in common is that they’re both Black men and have been famous since the 1990s. But they don’t especially look alike, aren’t renowned for the same reason, and only one of them currently stands accused of horrific sex crimes.

Williams, the former talk show host, is known to have dated Kamala Harris briefly in the 1990s. While he hasn’t spoken out much about his time with Harris, he’s been generally supportive of him and critical of those who dislike her. Williams has also occasionally been mocked by those who, for some reason, consider Harris’ sexual history scandalous.

I have to wonder if the same stories about her dating history would have been written if she were a male candidate?,” Williams tweeted in 2019, when Harris was running for president the first time.

While fever dreams about nefarious connections between Democrats and Hollywood types, in carrying out child sex abuse, are a big part of the QAnon and Pizzagate mythologies, there is not any reason to suspect that Kamala Harris and Sean Combs have ever met, or that Harris has anything to do with his crimes.

When asked about her favorite rappers, in a famed 2019 interview on The Breakfast Club, Harris, who is a West Coast native, named Snoop Dogg and Tupac, but did not cite Diddy’s old friend Notorious B.I.G.
