Over the past 15 years, more than “half of Hollywood” has attended “boss” Diddy’s white parties. They are actors, singers, models, and influential people in the world entertainment industry.
Amid the time when Sean Combs (stage name Diddy) was arrested for a series of accusations related to sex trafficking, violence, rape… the white parties organized by the “rap king” himself in the past were constantly mentioned.
These parties are described as lavish, flashy, classy with pure white as the main color. Diddy once described his white party as a place to “break racial barriers, break generational barriers”.
According to Page Six, from 1998 to 2009, more than 1,000 Hollywood celebrities attended Diddy’s parties. The list of celebrities who have appeared at the rapper’s parties includes Paris Hilton, Nick Carter, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Jay Z, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Howard Stern, Kelly Osbourne, Beth Ostrosky, Kim Porter, Tommy Lee, Ashley Olsen, Rachel Zoe, Nicole Scherzinger, Nick Cannon, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Mel B and Stephen Belafonte, Kimora Lee Simmons, Russell Simmons, Natane Adcock, Damon Dash, Aaliyah, Jennifer Lopez, Lisa Zane, Billy Zane, Victor Matthews, Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker, Andre Harrell…
Back then, attending Diddy’s parties was a joy for actors, singers, models and many celebrities. Diddy’s parties were considered a meeting place for famous figures in the music and entertainment industry.
However, according to media experts, artists who attend Diddy’s white parties do not mean they are involved in the rapper’s scandals. Appearing in Diddy’s party photos is affecting the lives of artists quite a lot.
To date, authorities have not released evidence that any celebrities have been involved in drug use or sexual assault while attending Diddy-hosted events .
Inside the private parties of “boss” Diddy
To date, information about Diddy’s parties has largely been revealed by the artists who attended.
“I came to see what that lifestyle was like, and I saw it clearly, ” Usher, Diddy’s close brother, revealed on The Howard Stern Show in 2016. “But I don’t know if I could really soak in and understand what I was seeing. It was pretty wild and crazy.”
When asked if he would allow his children to attend Diddy’s parties, Usher firmly stated: “Never.”
Usher has now locked his personal page due to the worldwide boycott of the “rap king”. Diddy is a close senior and has contributed to leading Usher to success. After the hip-hop king’s scandal was announced, Usher did not comment.
Famous rapper 50 Cent also spoke about Diddy’s house parties in July, two months before the “rap kingpin” was arrested: “I used to publicly warn people not to go to Diddy’s parties and do that kind of stuff. I tried to stay away from that disgusting stuff for years. Just being a little bit involved made me uncomfortable.
Diddy once offered to take me shopping. I thought to myself, what a strange invitation, this is the usual invitation from a man to a woman. I told him: “No, I don’t like to get involved in that strange energy and strange things.” Then I distanced myself from Diddy. From then on, I gradually felt uncomfortable when interacting with him.”
Khloe Kardashian (Kim Kardashian’s sister) has hinted at witnessing nudity at a Diddy party. She shared on an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians : “I spent the weekend with a group of friends, including Diddy, Quincy Combs, Justin Bieber and French Montana. I think half the people at the party were topless.”
Unlike rappers 50 Cent and Khloe Kardashian, Ray J told News Nation in September that he and most of his peers were shocked by the kingpin’s arrest. Kim Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend claimed to have attended some of Diddy’s parties but never saw what was being discussed, never entered the rooms, or knew about their existence.
Kendra Wilkinson, the ex-girlfriend of the late Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner, told the Kyle and Jackie O radio show in September that she had been to one or two of Diddy’s parties.
“I had a great youth. I really didn’t see anything. In my opinion, sex is sex. I want to say that nothing bad ever happened to me.”
Selma Fonseca, an American entertainment photojournalist, happened to be present at the party at Diddy’s Bel Air mansion (Los Angeles, USA). She told The New York Post that the atmosphere of the party changed as the evening wore on.
“It’s not like the Oscars, where people get awards. It’s just for fun. It’s not a typical Hollywood party. As it gets darker, people get more sensitive. There are people kissing. For example, Chris Brown kissing Amber Rose,” reporter Selma Fonseca recalled.
Diddy himself said of his private parties in a 1999 interview with Entertainment Tonight : “They would arrest me, do all sorts of crazy things just because we wanted to have a good time.”
During a trial in federal court in Lower Manhattan (USA) in early September, prosecutors portrayed Diddy as a cunning sexual predator who sought to turn a multi-industry business empire into a criminal enterprise .
The 14-page indictment released in court says Diddy abused, threatened and coerced women and others to satisfy his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his actions for decades.
The documents list a number of items found in Diddy’s mansion in March, including drugs, guns, and more than 1,000 large bottles of baby oil.
The 54-year-old star is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City (USA). The “rap mogul” was denied bail despite being willing to pay $50 million.
Judge Andrew L Carter said that allowing Diddy to be released on bail at this time could “endanger the community” and “impact the integrity of the case”. In addition, the judge also noted that keeping Diddy in jail could prevent the suspect from threatening or harming witnesses in the case.
If convicted, Diddy could face a minimum sentence of 15 years in prison, or life in prison.
