The recent arrest of Sean Diddy Combs has sent shockwaves through the music and entertainment industries. The 54-year-old music mogul was arrested at the Park Hyatt Hotel in New York City and now faces charges related to “sex trafficking” and “transportation for prostitution.” He pleaded not guilty to these charges in a Manhattan court on Tuesday. Since the arrest, some of Diddy’s past acquaintances, like 50 Cent and Mary J Blige, have spoken out against him. However, many other celebrities close to Diddy over the years have remained silent, despite the allegations that the musician hosted controversial freak-offs at his homes.
While no accusations suggest that Diddy’s celebrity friends were involved in any of these illicit activities, many have partied with him over the years, including stars like Jennifer Lopez, Leonardo DiCaprio and Justin Bieber. Questions are being raised about what these stars might know, even though there’s no implication they were involved in anything illegal.
Political commentator Megyn Kelly, for instance, has reportedly stated that if any of these celebrities had knowledge of Diddy’s alleged activities, they have a “duty” to come forward.
Usher
Usher has claimed he witnessed some “pretty wild” things while living with Diddy as a teenager. In a 2016 interview, the Burn singer discussed his experiences living with Diddy in 1994 when he was just 14. Usher explained on The Howard Stern Show that record producer LA Reid arranged for him to live with Diddy in Scarsdale to “see the lifestyle.” When Stern asked if Diddy’s place was filled with women and constant parties, Usher responded, “Not really… I got a chance to see some things… I don’t know if I could indulge and even understand what I was looking at.”
Usher sparked social media discussion last week when his X (formerly Twitter) account was erased following Diddy’s arrest. On Sunday, Usher clarified, saying his account had been hacked, informs The Daily Mail.
Leonardo DiCaprio
In resurfaced footage from a 2018 Vogue video titled 73 Questions with Sean Diddy Combs, the musician gave viewers a glimpse into his party life. During the interview, the rapper was asked who topped his invitation list for his White Parties. Without hesitation, Diddy responded, “Leonardo DiCaprio,” before handing the interviewer a drink.
In a 1998 photo from one such party, a young DiCaprio is reportedly seen lounging behind Diddy, smoking a cigarette while Diddy holds a bottle of champagne. There is no suggestion that DiCaprio or any other celebrity guests were aware of the alleged drug use or sexual activities that reportedly took place at these events.
Jennifer Lopez
JLo, once revealed that Diddy was the first man to cheat on her during their “tumultuous” relationship, which lasted from 1999 to 2001. Although she never caught him cheating, Lopez said she always suspected it, particularly when he would tell her he was going to a club for a few hours and then disappear for the entire night.
Their relationship coincided with the release of Lopez’s debut album, On The 6, which Diddy helped produce. But the couple also made headlines in 1999 after a shooting outside a Times Square club led to their arrest. Lopez was eventually cleared of all charges, and the couple broke up in 2001, a month before Diddy’s trial began, informs The Daily Mail.
Naomi Campbell
The British supermodel has reportedly been seen with Diddy on numerous occasions over the years, including his 50th birthday party. She even helped celebrate his twin daughters’ 16th birthdays in 2022. As recently as November 2023, Campbell was seen with Diddy and Janet Jackson at his birthday party in London. However, following the filing of a lawsuit by Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, Campbell and Jackson have since deleted all photos with Diddy from their Instagram accounts.
Ashton Kutcher
Kutcher and Diddy reportedly met while hosting shows on MTV and maintained a friendship for years. The two bonded over their mutual love for pranking people. Kutcher has declined to comment publicly on Diddy’s recent arrest. According to sources, Kutcher has distanced himself from Diddy, particularly following Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit earlier this year.
Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber’s connection to Diddy goes back to his teenage years when he was discovered by Scooter Braun and Usher. Footage has resurfaced of a 15-year-old Bieber spending 48 hours with Diddy, which some fans now find unsettling given the recent charges against the rapper. Speaking to DailyMail.com, a source close to Bieber said the singer is deeply “disturbed” by the allegations against Diddy and is choosing to remain silent on the matter.
The Kardashian and Jenners
Kim and Khloe Kardashian, along with Kylie Jenner, reportedly attended Diddy’s extravagant 50th birthday party at his $40 million mansion in 2019. Five years later, that same property was raided by Homeland Security as part of their sex trafficking investigation.
Jay Z
Jay Z and Diddy have been friends for over three decades. While they’ve collaborated in the past, Jay Z has yet to make a public comment about the charges Diddy is facing, reports The Daily Mail.
