Over the weekend, Diddy made an announcement shortly after news broke that Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson was selling the team due to allegations of workplace misconduct. Puff, who has previously expressed interest in buying the entire NFL, said he wanted to buy the Panthers and signing on Colin Kaepernick.
This was an impressive statement, but it didn’t seem to move one member of a San Francisco news team. KRON-TV’s Henry Wofford made some comments during a sports segment called “The World According to Darya,” saying he didn’t believe Puff’s offer and insinuating that the Bad Boy was high and drunk.
“The guy looks high right there in this video,” Wofford said. “He looks like he smoked a blunt and drank a 40. Come on, I’m not taking him seriously.” Earlier in the segment, he said Puff doesn’t have the funds to actually buy the NFL team.
“The problem is—I checked—Diddy is only worth $800 million and the Panthers are valued at $1 billion.”
After the segment aired, people were visibly upset that Wofford would stereotype Brother Love.
Wofford apologized, but the damage had already been done.
Twitter was also looking for an apology from his co-anchor Darya Folsom, who laughed at his comments instead of correcting him.
In a full statement on posted on Monday, he elaborated on his tweet, writing that Diddy “has the work ethic, wisdom, dedication and contacts to be a successful NFL owner.”
