Nikki Glaser ignited a stir at the Golden Globes with a joke about Diddy that left many squirming.
As the first woman to host the Golden Globes in its 82-year run, Nikki Glaser had audiences on edge. In her opening monologue, she praised Zendaya’s performance in ‘Dune,’ noting, “Oh my God, I woke up for all of your scenes. You were so good.”
However, it was her comparison of the movie ‘Challengers’ to Diddy’s credit card—a reference implying a wild lifestyle—that elicited mixed reactions. “That movie was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card,” Glaser quipped, much to the crowd’s discomfort.
She tried to ease the tension with humor, “The afterparty is not going to be as good this year,” she said, suggesting a quirky alternative, “No baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil.” The joke landed with more groans than laughs, and social media wasn’t forgiving, either.
Despite the controversial moment, the rest of the night continued smoothly. Yet, the ripple effect of the joke lingered on the internet long after the show ended.
Meanwhile, Diddy is the focus of another buzzworthy topic—a documentary titled ‘The Making of a Bad Boy,’ set to release on Peacock. The film delves into his life journey and touches upon severe sexual assault allegations.
The documentary promises to explore never-before-seen footage and interviews from those who knew Diddy well. Former producer Ron “Amen-Ra” Lawrence, journalist Kim Osorio, and others contribute insights about Diddy’s life and career.
An intense trailer teases the documentary, labeling Diddy a “monster” and alluding to salacious details about his personal life. An anonymous contributor makes shocking claims about Diddy’s private encounters, further stirring controversy and intrigue.
Peacock plans to release the documentary on January 14, and it aims to challenge perceptions of the mogul known for his music and his infamous ‘Bad Boy’ image.
Nikki Glaser’s joke may have left an awkward impression, but it highlighted the complexities surrounding Diddy’s public image, especially with an upcoming documentary set to shed light on his turbulent past.
