Is Diddy hip-hop’s Weinstein? Plus, Brittany gets rejected

On Monday, the embattled rap mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arrested and charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. He’s been denied bail twice, and is facing a sentence of 15 years to life in prison. Host Brittany Luse is joined by NPR Music editor Sidney Madden and legal affairs reporter Meghann Cuniff to understand what this indictment means for Combs and if this could be the beginning of a #MeToo movement in hip-hop.

Then, Brittany is joined by Tony Tulathimutte, author of Rejection, to talk about a rising culture around rejection, his book and why online life can enable rejections to curdle inside us.
