Amid ongoing legal battles, a 1997 video of rapper Sean Diddy Combs has resurfaced online.
In the footage from the star’s appearance on ‘The Rosie O’Donnell Show‘, Diddy, who appeared alongside fellow rapper Mase, shared his advice for young kids, saying, “have God in your life.”
On being quizzed by host Rosie about his career, Combs expressed gratitude for his success, saying, “We feel blessed, we thank God for everything. We constantly pray and know that he’s responsible for everything that has been blessed and granted to us.”

The video comes at a time when Diddy, founder of Bad Boy Records, is facing charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and prostitution. The rapper who was arrested in September, is currently being held in a federal detention centre in Brooklyn, where he awaits trial scheduled for May 5.
Combs filed a new request for bail on Friday, saying changed circumstances, along with new evidence, mean he should be allowed to prepare for the trial from outside jail.
Lawyers for Combs filed the request in Manhattan federal court, where his previous requests for bail have been rejected by two judges since his September. He has pleaded not guilty to charges that he coerced and abused women for years with help from a network of associates and employees, while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.
