In many ways, I think certain people are prosecuted and maybe not recognized for the greatness that they offer. I don\u2019t have anything negative to say about Sean Combs<\/strong> because my experience was not what the world has seen and how he\u2019s been misrepresented,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not saying that every man is perfect. I\u2019m not saying that all of us don\u2019t have flaws. But I can\u2019t with any sense of humanity not recognize the valuable contributions that this man made for us as Black entrepreneurs, for us as businessmen, for us as people who have transitioned culture and ideas into something that\u2019s tangible.\u201d<\/p>\n \n
