Man in Diddy and Meek Mill Matching Outfits Image Says He ‘Can’t Even Look’ at Instagram Anymore
The man seen in a widely shared image of Diddy and Meek Mill seemingly wearing matching outfits at an unspecified event is asking those further distributing the photo with manipulative intentions to “stop.”
Alex, also referred to on social media as Midgepack, recently spoke with a TMZ paparazzo about both the general public’s response to the image and how its resurfacing has impacted his day-to-day life.
“The internet’s been an aggressive place,” he said, as seen here or below. “I’m on every meme. Everybody’s reposting me. I can’t even look at my Instagram. I get hundreds of notifications a day. I’m just here to say the internet is a wild place. I’m not worried about nothing. This time, I don’t really have much to say about the whole situation. I’ve been advised not to. I have nothing to say about it at this time.”
On the topic of malicious photo edits, Midgepack argued that those partaking in such activities are dealing in projections, not reality.
“I think people like me, little people, are subjected [to] and sexually exploited,” he said. “I think it’s fucked up. They associate me with crazy, weird things and not just being an OG. I’m here to tell those people, you know, clear that mind. Think positive, and throw the negative bullshit out the back window.”
Midgepack also stressed that this particular image is merely “one of a million,” though he considers its timely resurfacing earlier this year, notably prior to Diddy’s arrest and indictment in New York, a sign of “how screwed up” certain factions of the internet can be.
“I hope those people clear their head a little bit and think a little more straight,” he said of those on the “screwed up” side of things.
In September, Diddy was arrested in New York. Marc Agnifilo, an attorney for the 54-year-old Bad Boy Records founder, said in a post-arrest statement that his client was “innocent,” stating that he “looks forward to clearing his name in court.” An unsealed indictment revealed charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for purposes of prostitution.
The months leading up to the arrest saw surveillance footage from 2016 being made public that showed Diddy physically assaulting Cassie at a hotel. Diddy later issued a video statement, saying, in part, “I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.”
