Stephen A. Smith has expressed his frustration with Sean “Diddy” Combs after the music mogul erased all posts from his Instagram account, including a notable apology to his ex-girlfriend Cassie.
Diddy, whose Instagram boasts nearly 20 million followers, wiped his account clean on Thursday. Despite this drastic change, his profile remains active with no modifications to his picture or biography. According to TMZ, a source close to Combs revealed that the move was part of a periodic revamp of his social media presence, a strategy he has employed in the past.
The sudden deletion sparked curiosity and concern among fans and followers, including sports commentator Stephen A. Smith. On his podcast, Smith questioned Diddy’s decision to remove all posts, specifically highlighting the importance of the Cassie apology video. “My only point for bringing up this subject on this particular day is because Diddy, why would you delete that video of the apology? Delete everything else but not that,” Smith remarked.

TMZ sources clarified that the decision to clear the Instagram feed was not aimed at Cassie or any specific person. The sources also affirmed that Combs stands by the sentiments he expressed in his apology video.
The apology video had previously received widespread media coverage and was shared extensively around the world. Insiders emphasized that the removal of the video, along with all other posts, was not intended to undermine the impact of his statements.
Further insights from TMZ indicated that the decision to delete the posts was a spontaneous action by Combs himself, rather than a calculated move by his team. The founder of Bad Boy Records made the choice independently, underscoring his desire to refresh his social media presence.
