Among those often associated with Diddy are singer-actor Beyonce and her rapper husband Jay Z.

Since Diddy’s arrest, fans have been speculating whether the power couple will make a statement. However, a source cited by In Touch Weekly indicates that they will likely “keep quiet.”

The source further elaborated, “Very few people have rushed to defend Diddy. Bey and Jay want to avoid implicating themselves, so remaining silent is their best option.” Reports suggest the couple has been relying on their lawyer, Alex Spiro, to mitigate the unfolding rumors. Spiro has recently threatened legal action against Piers Morgan concerning remarks made during an interview with Jaguar Wright, where claims surfaced suggesting Jay-Z and Beyonce may have more “victims” than Diddy.
