Former NFL running back Leonard Fournette is under fire after a video of him of him at an event with Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs resurfaced.
The rapper and producer was recently charged for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
In a resurfaced clip, Diddy is seen in a white suit delivering a toast to a group in an outdoor setting. To his right, is Hip Hop legend Jay Z, sporting a pink blazer, and to his left is Fournette, in a cream ensemble.
While there is no indication of Fournette’s involvement in Combs’ schemes, users blasted the former LSU star for being around the now infamous artist.
‘What are Leonard Fournette and meek mill looking for in this video with P Diddy’ one user asked.
‘Leonard Fournette getting down and dirty in the freak offs,’ said another.
‘Yes… that is Leonard Fournette,’ a third added with three grimacing emojis.
A fourth user noted how Diddy raised a toast to black billionaires in the viral video. He then pointed out how Fournette ‘said ‘yeah’ to black billionaires his career earnings is 38 million.’
‘Why is he there,’ a fourth added among many tweets questioning his attendance.
Fournette was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the fourth overall pick in 2017. He stayed with the Jags four two years before moving to Tampa Bay where he won a Super Bowl with Tom Brady in 2021.
