Diddy Reportedly Apologized to Former Vibe EIC After Allegedly Threatening to See Her 'Dead in the Trunk of a Car'

Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly threatened former Vibe Magazine editor-in-chief Danyel Smith in 1997 over his December 1997/January 1998 double issue covers, according to a new account published in 'The New York Times.'

On Friday, July 12, The New York Times published an account from former Vibe editor Danyel Smith, 59, in which she recalled being allegedly intimidated by the music mogul, 54, over his December 1997/January 1998 double issue covers. When Combs did eventually make his way to Vibe ’s New York City office building, Smith recalled being put in a cab home to dodge the producer’s queries about his magazine covers pre-print. She denied the request, writing of Vibe ’s policy, “It’s not what we do.” But Combs reportedly responded with a threat, in which he allegedly told Smith that he would see her “dead in the trunk of a car.”
