Silence is a choice. If you choose love then denounce SA and women beating. Say it out loud. It is very simple.

[jdub]

Well he wiggled out of that, he usually has a strong opinion about everything else

[elaine]

Common talking about love and God, when he go from woman to woman. 😂😂😂

[erykahhoney]

Common loves to talk so to hear him fumble like this is.. 🤭

[hildagranados]

I’m disappointed in him. He could have made a general comment about domestic violence in support of not women and men and left it at that.

[disneygal]

U know damn well he has watched that video.

[driversseat]

Stop with the bs, Common. You’ve seen the video.

[ericperez]

His ignorance is a shame. It’s So sad he’s not willing to speak up…..coward!

[verasanders-hzuq]

This is IMPORTANT: GAS, FOOD, and RENT is very HIGH. CAN WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT? Thank you

[DebbyDash]

Mad man Diddy got Common out here fighting for words to avoid disrespecting him

[dandylion]

how hard is it to denounce it, and show the victims support?? jfc no wonder these monsters all got to roam around freely for decades.

[dkxbwdz]

You ate diddy food drank the best at diddy parties, you expect him to say something

[CopCamSneakPeek]

I wonder if he would be dodging that question if Diddy beat his mom or sister 🤔.

[meeky]

Common is acting like a man who’s been at A Diddy party or FO…

[eatfoodmusic]

Why he respectfully plays with women's hearts?

[DontDooTooMuch]

Once you watch something you can't unsee it

[juliusyabut]

Common scared of diddy because they go party together closed door haha

[BoysGotit]

I don’t even have to watch this to know he should just kept that shit to himself 😂 just because you close your eyes don’t mean the world stops…

[divineloveair]

What a great response Sir to a clickbait question! Applause!

[Littleladymm]

But people can’t ignore ppl’s bad behaviors as well. People have to stand up and speak up for those who are still processing what is happening to them. It takes years of healing and right now it’s all about taking accountability.
