Britney Spears is the latest celebrity to be linked to the Diddy situation. It turns out he allegedly had something to do with her downfall. If not for him, she may never have gone down the path that she did.

Although Britney now has autonomy and is free to do whatever she wants, it’s clear she isn’t the same pop princess we all knew and loved back in the day. I don’t think anyone can blame her for that. 13 years of conservatorship would do a number on anyone.

This is exactly what Diddy allegedly wanted when he kickstarted the series of events that led to her downfall. It all started on December 31, 2006, when Britney hosted the New Year’s Eve party at Pure Nightclub.

The event ended with Britney being dragged out of the club because she allegedly lost consciousness after consuming some substances. The very next day, her troubles began.

After this event, there were a lot of stories about what happened that night. People felt Britney was starting to shed her innocent girl-next-door image. With each passing day, the stories kept getting crazier and crazier.

Britney eventually had to check herself into a rehab facility to get away from the negativity. Barely a day into her stay, she left and suffered what many people described as a mental breakdown after she shaved her head.

Now, for a lot of people, this was a sign that Britney was not doing well mentally. For Britney, it was a last-ditch effort to fight for her sanity and push against the people trying to control her.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t successful. Just a few days after this, she checked into a rehab facility once again, only to leave 24 hours later.

Britney Couldn’t Trust the People Around Her

Now no one understood what was going on with Britney. As she explained in the 2007 letter that she wrote to her fans, even Britney felt lost. From the letter, it was clear as day that Britney was suspicious that her management was trying to sabotage her.

She was right. At this point, they had allegedly started giving her substances regularly, without her knowing.

All she knew was that sometimes, she’d feel a certain way she couldn’t explain. Her mind kept on telling her that she couldn’t trust the people around her.

This was the reason why she refused to stay at the rehab facilities they had checked her into. She knew she’d just be giving them exactly what they wanted.

But her struggle for survival wasn’t the easiest one, and she kept failing at every turn. Britney’s life was falling apart right in front of her eyes, and she didn’t know what to do.

That was when Diddy allegedly came into the picture. He supposedly knew about everything that Britney was going through.

Why? Well, because he was allegedly in on it.

Britney’s infamous 2007 VMAs performance, which is arguably her worst performance ever, was meant to be her comeback. But it ended up being a nightmare. Britney was all over the place, could barely walk in a straight line, and lip-synced her way throughout the performance.

This was a major shock to everyone. Well, everyone but Diddy. He knew exactly why she was that way.

Diddy Wanted Britney Out of the Picture

You see, the night before this, Britney was seen partying with Diddy alongside some other celebrities. There is a conspiracy theory that Britney was set up to fail, with Diddy allegedly giving her substances that very night, and her being sacrificed in a ritual that would take her down for good. Britney’s management and family were allegedly all in on it.

Now, it’s understandable why these people were supposedly involved with it. Britney was ranking in millions from such a young age. If they wanted a good chunk of that money, they needed to find a way to control her.

If you’re wondering what Diddy had to gain from this, well, it’s pretty simple. He allegedly just wanted Britney out of the picture.

Before the conservatorship, Britney was a force to be reckoned with in the industry. Very few women had the pull and power that she did.

If you wanted that pull and power, you had to go up against Britney, and this wasn’t the easiest task. Especially for Beyoncé, as she was still trying to find her footing as a solo singer.

We all know that Diddy and Jay Z had this tight-knit friendship for years. They would do anything for each other. Sacrificing Britney so that Beyoncé could finally have her moment to shine wasn’t a problem for Diddy.

Just think about it for a moment. It wasn’t until Britney was out for good that Beyoncé started making major headlines and waves.

Lou Taylor Helped Take Britney Down

This has to make you wonder – Would Beyoncé have gotten as big as she is today if Britney was never taken out of the picture? Britney’s downfall was so straightforward – almost as if someone had it all mapped out.

First, there was her disastrous VMAs performance. Then, just a few days later, she was ordered to do a random substance test as part of her custody case with Kevin Federline. Following that, she lost custody of her sons.

Before she could even process everything that was happening, she was placed into a conservatorship. And all of this happened while she was allegedly being given substances without her knowledge.

Now, if you’re wondering how Diddy was able to infiltrate Britney’s space and allegedly take her down, he supposedly did it with the help of Lou Taylor. You see, Lou and Diddy go way back. They met when they were both working at Uptown Records before Diddy became one of Lou’s clients.

Word on the street is that Lou reached out to Diddy asking for his help to take Britney down. Diddy didn’t think twice about Lou’s offer as he would be taking Britney out of the picture and allowing Beyoncé to get to the top at the same time.

Now, before all of this went down, Lou allegedly already had an agreement set in stone with Britney’s father. This would explain why The Firm dropped Britney after her conservatorship was announced and Lou swooped in to take the job.

With all of this being said, you have to wonder – what would have happened to Britney if Diddy wasn’t allegedly involved in her downfall? Would she have been able to fight off her family and her management without him making things worse or would she have suffered the same fate?
