As the days unfold, the entertainment world watches closely. Will Diddy’s charges lead to a domino effect, implicating others in his orbit? Will Jay-Z and Beyoncé stay out of the country until the storm clears? And what role does this play in the larger narrative of successful Black entertainers being taken down?

The meeting between Jay-Z and Diddy may go down as one of the most pivotal moments in hip-hop, not just for what was said, but for the steps that followed.
