Every now and again black Twitter will debate something that have us thinking that they might be on to something.
The thread about the tattoo on Diddy’s back peaked my interest because personally I am very careful about the symbolism used in daily life.
Recently Diddy has been in all kinds of hot water especially since the Cassie lawsuit.
His colleagues new and old have come out swinging with a story to tell whether it is for attention or simply to add fuel to the fire.
A user on social media suggested that it is ironic that Diddy wears a tattoo of Ezili Dantor on his back.
While this is all speculation they made the point that Ezili not only represents “love” but also the protector of women and children.
She is a figure prominent in Haitian Religion.
One user writes:
He’s so stupid especially knowing what Ezili Dantor is capable of with regard to abusers. Spiritually castrating him
Another saying:
For those who don’t know: Ezili Dantor (Erzulie Dantor in Hoodoo) doesn’t play about women & children. That’s why he’s…
But not every one is here for the speculation that Diddy is so called “cursed”.
Instead they see the tat for what it is, just a representation of who Diddy claims to be now.
Well y’all bout to not like me but … the ezili dantor is the goddess of love. Hence why he call his self brother love . That shit do not have nothing to do with what he did . The end lol
But even with that point.. users still maintain the point that much of his karma stems from the significance of the symbol on his back.
This the wildest shit I’ve ever seen, but it’s a clear example of men acting like they care about women for aesthetic.

More opinions below:
Ezili Dantor is a loa who is a protector of women & children. To sport this deity on your back knowing you’ve done real harm to women is self-sabotage.
Yall for context: Ezili Dantor is the spirit/goddess of womanhood and she is THE protector of women and children who happen to be victims of domestic violence… our good sis Zili is the reason he’s being called out left and right atm ?
I really wish ppl who have zero connection to Voodoo especially to stop getting their signs & symbols tattooed onto them.
Ezili Dantor is the protector of women & children. ?
Why would you tat a Loa on your bodaayy in the first placeee??? And out of all of them…Ezili Dantor? The protector of women and children???2024 about to be longgggg asf for Diddy???
The comments go on and on, but we are curious, what do you think about Diddy’s tat?
We did a little research and for context this is what we found:
Ezili Dantor (pronounced eh-zee-lee Dahn-tor) is by far one of the most popular female Petro Lwa.
She can be a tough lady, a little wild, but before all she is a mother.
She is the most perfect mother one could wish to have.
Dantor is a mother who watches and cares for her children very much.
She can be a disciplinarian, as she does not and will not tolerate children behaving badly. She will defend her children and family until the very end. Dantor will also help a person for very little sacrifice on their part.
Dantor is served with the Image of Mater Salvatoris, sometimes also known as Santa Barbara Africana, which is the image you see on the top left hand corner of this page.
She is also associated with other Madonnas who hold a child such as Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Our Lady of Czestochowa. Other images include Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
Danto is also considered a protector of children. As naturally as a mother would protect her own, Mama Danto will always go to extremes to ensure the safety of her children.
She will stop everything she is in the process of doing in order to go to her child’s aid.
She will always be featured with her child in any image.
The daughter most frequently seen in her arms is known as “Anais“.
