In the wake of recent controversy surrounding allegations of gang affiliation, hip-hop artist King Combs has taken to social media to deny and address the rumors and set the record straight.
The son of Sean “P. Diddy” Combs and the late model Kim Porter has denied that he’s affiliated with any gangs after coming under fire for giving a shout-out to GDK.
The controversy erupted after a video in which King seems to be announcing that he was a gang member was circulating online and was filmed by a woman, whom she called “baby,” as she thanked him for a sweet thing he had done for her.
Appearing briefly in the clip, he said to the camera, “GDK,” which seemed to be a reference to Gangster Disciples Killer.
The post attracted a lot of attention; some fans expressed confusion, while others kept analyzing the situation in question and expressed surprise at the alleged association with GDK (Gangster Disciple Killer).
