Many Hollywood celebrities who were once close with Sean “Diddy” Combs are either keeping a low profile or distancing themselves from the music mogul. Some have even claimed that they never attended Diddy’s infamous parties, but the pictures don’t lie.
A few stars have undoubtedly been holding their breath hoping that photos and videos of them at Diddy’s crib don’t hit the internet as new images continue to emerge. Now video footage and snaps of a New Year’s Eve bash at Diddy’s mansion showing the disgraced producer as the master of ceremonies is making the rounds.
Here’s more on that, plus which high-profile inmate Diddy is hanging out with in prison.
Diddy’s celebrity friends seen partying at his New Year’s Eve bash
With every new pic or video that comes out of stars attending Diddy’s house parties, comes questions about who knew what. So that was the case again with the footage TMZ published of the rapper’s New Year’s Eve party in 2010.
Gathered at Diddy’s Miami mansion for the festivities were several other big names in the music biz such as DJ Khaled, Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Drake, and Busta Rhymes. Some of them are seen hanging poolside or can be heard congratulating their host. Diddy is also seen chatting and dancing with a few of his guests.
Other stars believed to have frequented Diddy’s parties include: Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Ashton Kutcher, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Paris Hilton, Howard Stern, the Kardashian sisters, Mariah Carey, Denzel Washington, Russell Brand, Meghan Fox, Lil Kim, Cameron Diaz, Alex Rodriguez, Drea de Matteo, Mary J. Blige, Donald Trump, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Ja Rule, Jennifer Lopez, Diana Ross, Derek Jeter, Fat Joe, and Russell Simmons.
And some stars seen at his huge 50th birthday bash in 2019 include Post Malone, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Dwyane Wade, Big Sean, Kobe Bryant, Offset, Cardi B, Kanye West, and Kylie Jenner.
Diddy has high-profile friends behind bars
Diddy is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits his trial.
Sam Bankman-Fried, the convicted crypto fraudster, is serving a 25-year prison sentence at the same facility as Diddy. In an interview with Tucker Carlson posted on X, Bankman-Fried said that Diddy is “kind to people in the unit.”
“He’s been kind to me,” Bankman-Fried shared. “And it’s kind of a soul-crushing place for the world in general, and what we see are just the people that are around us on the inside rather than who we are on the outside.” He added that he and the Bad Boy Records founder are “two of the most famous prisoners in the world.”
But there’s another extremely high-profile inmate being held there as well and that is Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
It’s not known though if Diddy and Mangione hang out together. Reports several weeks back claimed that Combs was jealous over all the attention his fellow inmate was getting.
However, a source close to the rapper dismissed that rumor as totally false saying: “This story has been completely made up, and there is no truth to it.”
