Shank emphasized that he does not support, defend, or admire Diddy, especially in light of the serious allegations against him. He added that the accusations are appalling and stressed that anyone found guilty of such actions should face full consequences.

What he’s been accused of (and convicted of) is unacceptable and has no place in our industry or anywhere else. Victims deserve justice.I’m committed to doing better and using my platform responsibly.”
