“Must Be A.I.! Internet Reacts to Diddy’s Alleged Viral TikTok Prison Phone Call About Pizza Boxes”

On October 23, a recording allegedly originating from a prison call made its way onto the internet, featuring Sean “Diddy” Combs apparently instructing one of his sons to “get rid of” all the pizza boxes. The audio clip was initially shared on TikTok by the user @thoseconspiracyguys and quickly spread to various social media platforms, including X.

“Don’t entertain any nonsense or discuss anything over the phone. I need you to dispose of all the leftover pizza boxes. Ensure you recycle the plastic as we previously discussed,” Diddy was purportedly heard telling his son.

The son reportedly replied with affirmations like “Aye,” “Alright,” and “Yeah,” suggesting he understood his father’s alleged directives. This alleged prison call recording of Diddy has sparked a flurry of reaction online.

Numerous social media users began to speculate that Diddy’s mention of “leftover pizza boxes” was linked to the infamous Pizzagate conspiracy theory from 2016, which claimed that certain senior Democratic figures were connected to a supposed human trafficking operation. Conversely, some users asserted that the audio was fabricated or computer-generated and lacked any factual credibility.

For instance, a user named @Eutychus411 responded to a post by podcaster Jay Anderson (@TheProjectUnity) that shared the alleged Diddy recording, suggesting that the Bad Boy Records founder was too savvy to reveal sensitive information over a prison call.

“This has to be A.I. There’s no way he’s that foolish,” the user commented.

Many others joined the discussion, echoing sentiments that dismissed the authenticity of the alleged prison call.

“There’s no way this is real,” one user asserted.

“Sounds like AI,” wrote another.

“This is obviously a fake call,” another commented.

“Initially, I don’t buy it. It seems fake. Why would he speak like this on a prison phone? It makes no sense. I’m calling fake on this based on instinct,” a user stated.

Meanwhile, some continued to draw connections between the alleged call and the Pizzagate conspiracy.

“The ‘pizza boxes’ are for tapes. Those tapes are to be destroyed (melted or recycled). This one was just too easy,” one individual commented.

“This is conspiracy involving destruction of evidence, coercion, and other serious felonies. He just brought his son into this whole situation. His son now knows the importance of getting rid of those plastic pizza boxes. Dumbest criminals ever,” a user expressed.

“I can’t tell if this is cryptic, but my immediate thought is ‘get rid of any little girls and destroy all the evidence,’” one individual remarked.

“A bunch of kids kept in dungeons are about to disappear,”another stated.

“Let me decipher this. ‘Don’t talk about this over the phone. Please destroy the tapes and delete everything from the cloud,’” another wrote.

It’s worth mentioning that Diddy has never been associated with the widely discredited Pizzagate conspiracy theory.

Investigating the Pizzagate Conspiracy Theory in Light of Diddy’s Alleged Phone Call

In 2016, a conspiracy theory emerged claiming that John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign manager, was allegedly involved in human trafficking and abduction. The Comet Ping Pong pizzeria in Washington D.C. was accused of being a cover for these alleged illegal activities involving the Clintons.

Dubbed ‘Pizzagate,’ this conspiracy theory identified James Alefantis, the owner of the pizza restaurant, as a campaign donor to Hillary Clinton. Moreover, Alefantis was mentioned in emails from Podesta that were released by WikiLeaks that same year.

Subsequent investigations by users on the anonymous forum 4chan led to claims of uncovering child images, basement construction, and alleged correspondence with Hillary Clinton supposedly providing evidence of wrongdoing.

Users on 4chan suggested that Alefantis’ communications with Podesta and Clinton contained terms like “pizza” and “cheese,” which they believed were code words for illicit activities including human trafficking and abuse.

As a result, the Pizzagate conspiracy gained substantial attention online, leading to discussions on platforms like Twitter and Reddit, which were later shut down. In December 2016, a man named Edgar Maddison Welch entered Comet Ping Pong with a firearm, demanding answers about Pizzagate and insisting on searching the premises.

Although Welch fired a weapon at a restaurant employee, no one was injured, and he was subsequently arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

During this period, Alefantis and his staff received numerous death threats, and he faced protests outside his restaurant. In response, Alefantis expressed on Facebook that “false and reckless conspiracy theories” have serious repercussions.

Though the Pizzagate narrative faded by mid-2017, it was revived in November 2023 when Elon Musk referenced it on X multiple times within a fortnight, indicating ongoing interest or skepticism.
