Suge Knight Claims Ben Affleck Wants Divorce Because FBI Gave Him Explicit Footage Of Jennifer Lopez From Diddy Raid…See More
A surprising voice has weighed in on the long-gestating divorce between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez: incarcerated rapper and producer Suge Knight.
Knight, speaking on his Collect Call With Suge Knight podcast — which he hosts from prison via recorded phone calls — alleged that the reason Ben Affleck wants a divorce is that the FBI showed him explicit videos of Jennifer Lopez that they obtained from their raids of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ home.
Knight’s claims are entirely unconfirmed and are pure speculation.
“They go raid Puffy’s house and they get all these videos of J. Lo doing this and J. Lo doing that,” Knight said, adding that he believes the feds then gave the footage to Affleck.
“I’m quite sure they headed for divorce because that’s a man who had a good life. Great parents don’t spend a lot of money. Ain’t tripping off paparazzi, he’s living his life. He got his own team. She done brought all that extra s— out and now that motherf—–. He want out.”
While Suge Knight’s word should always be taken with a grain of salt — he’s currently serving a 28-year sentence for manslaughter — the 59-year-old was certainly plugged into the New York City music scene when Diddy and Lopez were dating from 1999 to 2001.
His analysis is also consistent with comments made by Affleck himself, as he told Kevin Hart earlier this summer how much the extra attention Lopez receives stresses him out.
“I don’t like a lot of attention. This is why people see me and they’re like, ‘Why is this dude always mad?’ Because someone had their camera sticking in my face, and I’m like, ‘OK, here we go,’” Affleck told Hart.
Lopez and Affleck are reportedly no longer on speaking terms as their respective business managers attempt to finalize the details of the divorce.
In another sign that the couple are headed for divorce, Affleck recently purchased a new mansion in Los Angeles while Lopez sold her penthouse in Manhattan.
