Who knew Vice President JD Vance had Diddy jokes up his sleeve?
Vance visited the Richard Nixon Presidential Library to promote his memoir Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith and was asked about a chapter that just so happens to be named “More Money, More Problems,”one of the late Notorious B.I.G.’s most popular songs. That’s when he quipped about the song’s producer, Diddy, being a “great Christian theologian,” before saying he’s “going to get in trouble” for the remark.
“I’m a millennial, and so I believe that’s the wisdom of the great Christian theologian P. Diddy, who as we found out in the last couple of years is very much not a Christian or a theologian,” the vice president joked about the embattled mogul after being asked why more money causes more problems. “I’m going to get in trouble for all kinds of things. That will be one of them. That will be in an attack ad at some point in the future.”

Diddy was sentenced to four years in prison last October on prostitution charges and is currently in the middle of appealing his sentence, which can take up to a year to be sorted.
Earlier this year, President Donald Trump revealed that Diddy asked him to consider a pardon through a handwritten letter. However, he said Puff’s criticism of him during his first run for president in 2016 “makes it more difficult to do,” even though the two have been cordial over the years.
