Jay Electronica Talks Not Showing Up In Diddy Affidavit After ‘Living With’ Disgraced Mogul

Jay Electronica references Sean “Diddy” Combs and his legal issues in a lyric on his new album, A Written Testimony: Leaflets, which he surprise-dropped on Friday (September 19).

What does Jay Electronica say about Diddy on ‘Leaflets’?

On the song, “Four Billion, Four Hundred Million 4,400,000,000 / The Worst Is Yet To Come,” Electronica claims he lived with the disgraced mogul but “never showed up in the affidavit.”

“I was living with puff and cash and never showed up in the affidavit,” he raps on the track. “I’m a smoother criminal than Michael Jackson maybe.“

While it’s unclear if Electronica and Diddy ever lived together, they once had a close relationship. However, a rift formed when Jay chose to sign with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation instead of joining Bad Boy.

Diddy was arrested in September 2024 on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. On July 2, 2025, after a weeks-long trial that dominated the news cycle, the jury in the Bad Boy Records mogul’s case came to a decision, finding him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution, but not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering.

Back in July, during an interaction with a TMZ reporter amid Diddy’s trial, Jay said he was just “out here supporting my brother” while he was outside the courthouse walking his two dogs.

Meanwhile, Diddy, currently incarcerated and awaiting sentencing, lends his voice to Jay Electronica’s surprise album A Written Testimony: Leaflets by performing the intro on the track “Abracadabra,” where he delivers a message about the state of hip-hop.

“Hip-hop is in a very, very dangerous place, you know,” Diddy says on the track. “Give them that shit, you know what I’m saying? Live at they souls, lift up they vibration. That’s what God sent you here to do, you know? That’s why we wait so long. We wait for things that are good ‘cause good things come to those who wait…”

Diddy is expected to remain incarcerated until his sentencing on October 3, while his attorneys pursue an acquittal or a new trial.
