P. Diddy Scandal Explored


  The supposed over one thousand bottles of baby oil were not the only suspected  thing that rapper, R&B artist and record producer Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs allegedly had going on in his home. According to Forbes, Diddy, as he is popularly known, has faced several accusations including “racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution,” as noted in the article.

Since the public release of these accusations, lots of incriminating evidence has come out about Diddy’s involvement with other celebrities and the activities going on in his home. For instance, E!News reported comedian and influencer Jeff Wittek’s recollection of his alleged experience at a Diddy party, also referred to as a “Freak Off.” Wittek alleged that both male and female commercial sex workers were coerced into performing “extended” sexual activities for entertainment purposes.  Based on Wittek’s account in the article, Diddy would allegedly distribute a variety of substances to his victims in order to ensure that they were compliant with his demands. In addition to this, the sex workers would also allegedly receive IV fluids to recover from overexertion and drug use after the events at these parties. 

Diddy parties have been an extremely hot topic among A-List celebrities, according to The Hollywood Reporter. During the 2000s, Diddy, who was referred to as “Puff Daddy” at the time, was known for throwing elaborate parties.  The phrase “ain’t no party like a Diddy party” was born during this time. The Hollywood Reporter stated that people like Presidential candidate, and former president, Donald Trump attended these parties along with other celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Jay Z, Paris Hilton and many others. In addition to his involvement with these celebrities, interactions between Diddy and pop singer, Justin Bieber from 2010, have resurfaced. According to TMZ, Diddy and Justin Bieber had an odd relationship while Bieber was still a minor as Diddy would exhibit alarming behaviors surrounding the child star. In one interview, linked in the article by TMZ, Diddy explains that Bieber “knows better” than to discuss the activities he participated in with Diddy. In another clip, Diddy and Bieber are together explaining that, then 15-year-old Bieber, would be spending 48 hours unsupervised with Diddy partaking in activities that they “can’t really disclose.” 

As more evidence against Diddy amounts, there have also been rumors of many instances from the past where celebrities have seemingly hinted at or tried to warn others of the unsettling activities going on behind the scenes. WatchMojo reports that celebrities like Usher, who lived with Diddy when he was 13 years old, and Katt Williams have hinted at the activities occurring in Diddy’s home. Their descriptions were vague but alluded to what may have been happening below the surface. Other celebrities like Kanye West and Tupac Shakur have hinted at far more sinister activities. According to WatchMojo, West claimed that Diddy would sacrifice others to the law to keep himself out of trouble.  According to DailyMail, Shakur expressed that he felt Diddy had something to do with him being shot in Nov. 1994. The article also noted that earlier this year, the man accused of murdering Shakur previously alleged that Diddy offered the shooter money to assassinate Shakur.

The investigation is still ongoing and more people are coming forward with allegations against Diddy. Diddy’s attorney has come forward with a few statements defending his clients alleged drug use and possession of a significant amount of baby oil, according to E!News. Despite efforts by his attorney , the popular artist was arrested on Sept. 16 and is still in custody as he is facing several charges, according to NewsNation and there are still things to be investigated.
