Wale has stepped forward to deny bizarre rumors that surfaced online claiming Sean “Diddy” Combs once hung him over a balcony.
While visiting The Morning Hustle radio show, the rapper was asked about a rumor that Diddy allegedly held him over a hotel balcony during a heated disagreement, and he quickly shut it down.
Wale went on to deny that he had had any altercations with anyone in the industry. He has previously disputed the story.
Wale calls it “preposterous” when asked if it’s true that Diddy dangled him over a balcony for working with Cassie.

“It’s a shame that a complete fabrication has gotten this far and that we have to dignify it with a response. It is a fantasy written by an outsider to exploit a viral story for clicks,” he said back in 2023.
“The author must have watched ‘The Five Heartbeats’ on basic cable and got inspired. They have never been in the same room as the people mentioned. Wale has never met Cassie or the author and was never involved in any type of altercation. He wishes peace for everyone involved in the settlement,” he added.
The rumor was first shared online by rapper Ant Glizzy during his sitdown with DJ Akademiks.
Diddy has yet to address the rumor publicly, but he is currently on trial after being arrested and charged with sex trafficking.
