The 54-year-old rapper took to Instagram and said, “I hit rock bottom, but I don’t make excuses.”
Looking into the camera, Diddy said, “It’s so hard to reflect on the darkest moments in your life, sometimes you have to.” He was angry.
‘I want to say I hit rock bottom, but I don’t make excuses, my behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video, I am disgusted.
“I was disgusted then when I did it, and now I’m disgusted. I went and looked for professional help, I got into going to therapy, going to rehab.
‘I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. Very sorry. But I am committed to being a better man every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness, I’m very sorry.’
