As usual, “Weekend Update” co-anchors Michael Che and Colin Jost didn't hold back, taking turns taking jabs at popular culture and international news.

The joke drew laughs and gasps from the crowd. Diddy appeared on the sketch comedy show as a musical guest in 1998 and appeared in a skit with Robert De Niro in 2013.
“It has been announced that the Sean P. Diddy Combs sex trafficking case has been assigned to a new judge,” Choi continued. “What Didi wants is for rape to be cool.”
