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 <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/565465074/sidney-madden">Sidney Madden</a> and legal affairs reporter <a href="https://www.meghanncuniff.com/">Meghann Cuniff</a> 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 <a href="https://www.harpercollins.com/products/rejection-tony-tulathimutte">Rejection</a>, to talk about a rising culture around rejection, his book and why online life can enable rejections to curdle inside us.
