Country singer-songwriter John Rich has revealed that he wrote a song inspired by the allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently in federal custody awaiting trial on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. Rich’s song aims to send a powerful warning to individuals like Combs, as reported by Law&Crime Network.
The song’s lyrics deliver a stark message:
“Evil runs around this town, undercover, looking for a soul to take, but they better stay away from the righteous hunter or hell is all they’ll pay…
You ain’t got a clue what a daddy will do…
Better give your soul to Jesus while I get my gun…”
During an appearance on The Sage Steele Show, the 50-year-old singer shared more about the song’s inspiration and his protective instincts as a father. “If you come after my kids, I’ll kill ya. Try it… I would much rather spend the rest of my life in prison and my kids are ok [sic],” Rich stated emphatically.
Rich expressed his frustration with what he sees as a lack of understanding from those in power. “They have no understanding of the level of sincerity that regular everyday Americans have when it comes to their kids. I would much rather stand in front of a freight train than you ever lay a pinky on my kids.”
The singer specifically called out Combs, referencing statements allegedly made by the music mogul. “And these arrogant b*stards going out there saying like Sean Combs said, ‘We’ll take your soul, we own your kids, we determine what clothes they wear, we guide their lives,’ with this crazy demonic look in his eyes,” Rich remarked.
He expressed disbelief at such bold claims being made publicly. “Standing on a microphone on a stage with bright lights and television cameras and he’s saying this to us?” Rich said. “Ok, Sean Combs, why don’t you come on and try it one time?”
Rich’s song and comments reflect his deeply held beliefs about protecting his children and resisting influences he perceives as harmful. As Combs’ legal proceedings unfold, Rich’s outspoken stance has drawn attention to the broader cultural debates surrounding power, influence, and parental protection.
The allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs are obviously disturbing..so disturbing that @johnrich wrote a song about him. John’s “why” gives me chills, and after watching this clip, I’m sure you’ll feel the same. #sagesteeleshow pic.twitter.com/Z1ilrJvy3W— Sage Steele (@sagesteele) December 20, 2024
