Jennifer Lopez and P Diddy were arrested during a date for this reason
Singer Jennifer Lopez and rapper P Diddy were once detained together while they were courting after a gunshot at a club in 1991 that left three people reportedly injured.
Diddy was jailed in 1999, when the two were still dating, following a shooting that had occurred in New York City eight years before. According to Forbes, there was a heated argument at the moment, which led to gunfire and three injuries.
After leaving the area, Diddy and Lopez got into a police car pursuit. Following the discovery of a reportedly stolen gun in the vehicle, Lopez and Combs were detained and charged with criminal possession of stolen property; however, Lopez’s charges were later dismissed.
Further accusations of bribery were brought against P Diddy, since it was said that the rapper attempted to offer the driver of the vehicle a whooping $50,000 in exchange for claiming ownership of the pistol. He was ultimately exonerated, and no one was prosecuted or proven responsible for the shooting.
The Jenny From The Block singer did mention the incident in passing during an interview with British ELLE in 2000, but she hasn’t spoken about it much since her incarceration. The actress said the entire ordeal «was a complete nightmare,» expressing her obvious amazement at what had transpired.
«I was completely unaware of what was happening. Nobody did.
Between 1999 and 2001, Lopez and Combs had a relationship that was intermittent. JLo claimed that the rapper «gave her so many cues and taught her so many things» in an interview with Access Hollywood from 2014.
She added at the time that she still held «so much mutual respect and admiration» for the hitmaker of «I’ll Be Missing You.» However, Jennifer was still quite upset about their divorce almost two years after they had split up.
Lopez acknowledged, «It was the first time I was with someone who wasn’t faithful,» in an interview with Vibe magazine. I was going wild, crying all the time, and going insane in this relationship I was in with Puff. It truly sent my entire existence into disarray.
