About
The Diddler is a nickname for rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs (aka P. Diddy or Puff Daddy) that references the Diddy accusations and lawsuits involving the alleged trafficking and SA of minors. "The Diddler" is a play on Diddy's name, the word "diddling" to describe the SA of children and the Batman villain the Riddler. Diddler memes surfaced en masse in March 2024, following Homeland Security raids on Diddy's LA and Miami homes in connection with a federal sex trafficking investigation (likely involving Diddy, although still unconfirmed).
