Diddy Do It? - Summary of the Internet – July 2, 2025
Diddy might beat the life sentence—but not the memes.
Hi ! The Fourth of July isn’t here yet, but America is already exploding—from courtrooms to Capitol Hill to the Gaza Strip. This week’s trends read like a crossover between Law & Order: SVU, The West Wing, and Call of Duty. So if you were looking for chill content? Try an ice cream cone. For everyone else: it’s engagement season. |
✅ Top 3 Must-Post Trends
1. Sean “Diddy” Combs Partial Verdict Drama

Did he always look this creepy?
What happened:
The jury in Diddy's sex trafficking trial reached verdicts on four out of five charges but remains deadlocked on the most serious racketeering count. The dramatic twist came after 13 hours of deliberation. Diddy—once seen as untouchable in the music world—was visibly shaken in court, the weight of a possible life sentence hanging over him.
Why it’s hot:
The celebrity + crime combo is a content goldmine, with layers of cultural, legal, and generational commentary baked in.
Post Ideas:
🎥 TikTok: “Reading Diddy’s body language during the verdict—what it says and what it means”
🧵 Twitter/X: Thread on celebrity justice vs. public accountability
📊 IG Carousel: “Here’s what each of the charges actually means”

2. Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” Narrowly Passes Senate

Trump, seen here, pointing out how dumb we all are.
What happened:
After a 21-hour showdown, VP J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking 51–50 vote on Trump’s massive tax-and-spending bill. It extends tax cuts, slashes Medicaid, eliminates taxes on tips/overtime—and adds $3.3T to the deficit. Critics call it a giveaway to the rich; supporters say it’s pro-worker.
Why it’s hot:
It’s a polarizing economic move with personal wallet impact and high political stakes. Expect heated discourse ahead of July 4.
Post Ideas:
🎥 TikTok: “Here’s how the new tax bill changes YOUR paycheck”
📲 IG Story: Vote breakdown—who flipped, who folded
🧵 Twitter/X: “Trump’s new bill: the good, the bad, and the buried fine print”
CTA:
Will this bill help or hurt your finances? Sound off.
3. Gaza Ceasefire? Trump Says Israel Agrees to Terms
What happened:
Trump claims Israel has accepted a proposed 60-day ceasefire deal brokered with Qatar and Egypt, pressuring Hamas to accept or face worse retaliation. Over 70 Palestinian deaths occurred the day before the announcement, increasing international urgency.
Why it’s hot:
A potential turning point in the Gaza conflict, but also a litmus test for Trump’s foreign policy chops.
Post Ideas:
🎥 TikTok: “60 seconds to understand the new Gaza ceasefire proposal”
📊 IG: Timeline of ceasefire attempts from 2023–2025
🧵 Twitter/X: “What Trump’s Gaza proposal reveals about U.S. diplomacy”
CTA:
Do you think the ceasefire will hold? Share your hopes (or doubts).

My favorite part about the Sean Combs case has nothing to do with the case itself. It's the name. “Diddy” is pure headline catnip. You can’t not make a pun. “What Diddy Do?” “Did Diddy Do It?” “Diddy or Didn’t He?”
At some point, I got so obsessed with the wordplay, I spiraled. I started researching everything I could about the trial—charges, court transcripts, social media takes—and turned it into an actual book called What Diddy Do? Because sometimes the internet is so loud, the only way to process it is to write it all down and package it like a true crime punchline.
Anyway, the book is out. And no, it doesn’t answer the question. But it does gather everything we know so far. Because when the culture shifts, you gotta ask: What Diddy do?
