Former UFC star defends LeBron James against Diddy controversy after previously accusing the Lakers star of using steroids
A former UFC fighter has come to LeBron James' defense amidst the ongoing controversy involving Sean Combs, widely recognized as P. Diddy. The polarizing music producer has been at the center of intense scrutiny over the past few months following his arrest on serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
The situation has garnered even more attention due to the alleged involvement of high-profile figures like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jay-Z, and James, who have been connected to Diddy. Compounding the issue, Colby Covington brought up the NBA superstar's past comments about Diddy’s notorious parties during the buildup to his fight against Joaquin Buckley at UFC Tampa last week.
Instead of addressing the accusations head-on, 'King James' decided to take a step back from the Los Angeles Lakers for some personal time. This move led to widespread media speculation about the true nature of his hiatus.
Surprisingly, Chael Sonnen took to X to defend James' choice to remain silent on the matter. The former UFC title challenger commended James for refraining from commenting until further details emerge:
"His exact words were, 'I am not going to make a statement until I see what comes out publicly,' and while people may not like that, it was possibly the most honest response to any question in the history of ever. Prior to Diddy being placed in bracelets, he made the statement 'no party like a Diddy party.'"

This stands out as an unusual show of support from Sonnen, given his long-standing history of sharp criticism toward James. 'The American Gangster' has been notably vocal in the past, even accusing the Lakers' power forward of using performance-enhancing drugs.
