For a while now, Diddy has been guilty of cropping people out of photos he posted on social media. Remember the time he did Kendall and Kylie Jenner dirty by smoothly removing their existence from last year's Met Gala with a simple crop?

During his appearance on Ellen, Diddy discussed what has become known as #DiddyCrop, and why the entire thing isn't his fault.

"Sometimes my photography editor, he doesn’t let me know when he’s taking people out of the pictures," he said. "There were people taken away that didn’t deserve to be taken away, and I had nothing to do with it."

Ellen referenced a photo from this year's Grammys where Diddy cropped out Fabolous and French Montana while Kendrick Lamar and Jay-Z managed to make the cut.

"This young kid that works for me, he wanted a picture of Jay-Z, Nas, and Kendrick," he explains. "So he used his social technology skills and that's what he did. Then, my friends haven't been talking to me for like two weeks." If his photography editor is really guilty of cutting these people out, then maybe Diddy should have final approval of what gets posted on his social media. After all, it seems like these decisions are starting to cost him some friendships.
