Diddy to sign him to Bad Boy Records.In 2015, the Ohio rapper blew up on YouTube for his boisterous breakthrough track ‘Drill Time’.

At the time, he was viewed as the genre’s next big star and was co-signed by drill legends Chief Keef and Lil Durk, leading to labels engaged in a bidding war to sign Slim.

Diddy was one of the many label executives interested in furthering the then-17-year-old’s career.This weekend (April 6), Slim shared a screenshot of a September 2015 tweet from the Bad Boy founder on Instagram, which read: “[One] million waiting on Slim Jesus when he come[s] to Bad Boy Records. #DriveSober.”Slim Jesus never took the deal and Diddy quickly deleted the tweet shortly after.In light of recent sexual abuse allegations against Diddy and the raid on his homes regarding a sex trafficking investigation, the 26-year-old remarked, “They called me crazy when I ignored this years ago.”Slim Jesus revisits Diddy's $1M Bad Boy offer pic.twitter.com/qISyuIEDMp— HipHopDX (@HipHopDX) April 8, 2024Last November, the singer and former Bad Boy signee Casandra “Cassie” Ventura claimed Diddy raped and physically abused her during their 11-year-long relationship.

The case was later settled out of court.A week later, two new allegations by two different women also came out with one claiming that Combs drugged and sexually assaulted her and the other alleging that Combs and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping the plaintiff and her friend in 1990 or 1991 – with Diddy allegedly turning violent days later.Producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones sued Combs in February for sexually assaulting him, having parties where sex workers and underage girls were present, and coercing him to sleep with prostitutes.
