Danyel Smith: Last News

Vibe magazine editor Danyel Smith has claimed Diddy sent her death threats for refusing to show him his cover photos.In an essay penned for the New York Times, Smith recounted the incident which originally occurred in 1997, when Diddy (real name Sean Combs) was set to star as Vibe‘s cover star for his album ‘No Way Out’.However, when Smith denied Diddy access to his cover photos prior to the magazine’s release as per their policies, Diddy allegedly showed up at the Vibe offices with “two associates.” Diddy and his crew reportedly went through “various cubicles and offices” to find the photos; Smith was “shuttled … from office to office” so she could safely leave the building and head home.She accused Diddy of sending a threatening call to her the next day; after reiterating it was not in their policies to let artists see cover photos before release, she alleged Diddy “told me, as I’ve retold hundreds of times over the years, that he would see me ‘dead in the trunk of a car.’ Not missing a beat, I told him he needed to take that threat back.”Smith claimed Diddy told her “fuck you”; when she said she would notify her lawyer, Diddy allegedly went on to say: “I know where you are right now.” Upon Smith’s lawyer talking to Diddy, Smith said she was sent an apology. However, the following theft of the heavy servers holding the Vibe cover photos unsettled her.“I had reason to fear for my life,” Smith wrote in the introduction to her piece.
