He was arrested at a hotel in Manhattan in September before being charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion.
Combs has denied the allegations against him and issued a plea of not guilty after he was accused of using his ‘power and prestige’ to drug sex workers for his alleged ‘freak-offs’.
“As alleged in the Indictment, for years, Sean Combs used the business empire he controlled to sexually abuse and exploit women, as well as to commit other acts of violence and obstruction of justice,” US Attorney Damian Williams said in September.
“Today, he is charged with racketeering and sex trafficking offences. If you have been a victim of Combs’ alleged abuse – or if you know anything about his alleged crimes – we urge you to come forward.”

A legal statement from Combs’ representatives said that ‘in court the truth will prevail’, adding: “Mr Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone – man or woman, adult or minor.”

Meanwhile, an anonymous party planner, who claims to have worked with Diddy in the mid-noughties, has revealed some harrowing details about the ‘freak off’ parties.
Speaking to The New York Post – who claims to have independently verified the planner’s identity – they said: “Everywhere you looked, you’d see yourself reflected again and again.

“You can imagine what it would look like when people are naked and having sex on the floor, on the couches, wherever.
“… It was definitely a vibe he wanted to put out there, that everywhere you looked there would be sex happening. It was wall-to-wall debauchery.”
The planner said she was hired to arrange food and drink, as well as entertainment and decor, but had no say in who was invited or the sexual element of the events.
“He was hiring both men and women who called themselves ‘models,’ but it seemed obvious, at least to me, that they were actually sex workers,” she said.
Advert
“But that wasn’t my role; that would be the role of a member of his team. I just handled the mainstream stuff.”
Apparently, there was no expense spared for the parties, with the planner claiming they cost around $500,000 (£387,000) per event.
“This is for both the mainstream part, and then the sex party afterwards,” she claimed.

Another planner, who claims to have worked with Diddy in 2004 and 2005, also revealed some of the alleged requirements he had for female attendees.
“We would do a weigh-in, if necessary,” they told the New York Post.
“The girls had to be young and hot, so I always had a scale nearby in case I needed to make sure.
“The number was 140 pounds, but if a girl was really tall, there was a little bit of discretion involved.
“No flab, no cellulite. Not overly pierced or tattooed. No short hair. And the girls had to be young and hot.”

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs allegedly had a list of twisted requirements for girls at his ‘Freak Off’ parties, a party planner has claimed.
Diddy, 54, is currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn, awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
The music mogul plead not guilty on 17 September, after being accused of using his ‘power and prestige’ to drug sex workers during his alleged ‘Freak Off’ parties.
“As alleged in the Indictment, for years, Sean Combs used the business empire he controlled to sexually abuse and exploit women, as well as to commit other acts of violence and obstruction of justice,” US Attorney Damian Williams said last month.

“Today, he is charged with racketeering and sex trafficking offences. If you have been a victim of Combs’ alleged abuse – or if you know anything about his alleged crimes – we urge you to come forward.”
In one of the latest of 120 plus lawsuits filed at Diddy, he has been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy in a New York hotel room in 2005, as reported by AP.
Another accuses the hip-hop artist of assaulting a 17-year-old would-be contestant on reality TV series Making the Band in 2008.

“Mr Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process,” his lawyers responded in a statement emailed to the Associated Press.
“In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.”
Meanwhile, an anonymous party planner, who claims to have worked with Diddy in 2004 and 2005, has revealed some of the alleged requirements he had for female attendees.

On the alleged dress code, she added: “No pants. No jeans. No flat shoes. Every girl had to wear a party dress, preferably very short, just enough to cover her butt cheeks, but no longer than mid-thigh.
“Cleavage showing. And every single one of them had to be wearing stilettos. That one, there was no exception: high stilettos.”
The source added: “It was don’t ask, don’t tell. At the time, I was really young myself and I honestly thought that we weren’t asking their age because of drinking laws.
“I never stayed around for the Freak Offs and had no idea that these girls were expected to have sex with people.”

A lawyer for Combs previously denied all allegations in a statement issued to LADbible Group.

A journalist who went onto a yacht with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to interview him has said several small details about that afternoon now look different, according to her, given the allegations against him.
The musician has faced a torrent of accusations and is currently jailed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits trial on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
Combs has denied the allegations against him and issued a plea of not guilty after he was accused of using his ‘power and prestige’ to drug sex workers for his alleged ‘freak offs’.

US attorney Damian Williams claimed that Diddy ‘used the business empire he controlled to sexually abuse and exploit women, as well as to commit other acts of violence and obstruction of justice’.
A legal statement from Combs’ representatives said that ‘in court the truth will prevail’, adding: “Mr Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.”

His children also released a joint statement criticising ‘false narratives’ and ‘conspiracy theories’, making their support for their father quite clear.

A number of new lawsuits have been filed against Combs in recent days, including ones which allege the rape of a 13-year-old girl and of drugging and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Celia Walden said that when she looked back at a 2008 interview she did with Diddy where her conclusion was that he was ‘just plain shy’ it now ‘actively made me squirm’.
Writing that whenever a celebrity becomes mired in scandal, there will be plenty who met them who will come out and say they always had ‘a feeling’, Walden said she got that from someone like Harvey Weinstein but not immediately from Combs.
She said that when she spent an afternoon on a yacht with him, she saw a ‘philanderer, a narcissist and a control freak’ who made her photographer agree not to take pictures that included his bare feet in them, but at the time, believed him when he said he owed everything to his mum and was most concerned with getting as far from his poor origins.

However, Walden also said that she’s since looked back at some of the other details from that interview on a yacht, including when he ‘snickered when I choked on the industrial-strength cocktail set down before me’ and that he ‘clearly wasn’t wearing any underwear’ – which she believes have ‘taken on sinister new meanings’.

She also wrote that she was wondering whether any of the ‘prone, oil-slicked bodies lying around the deck of that 180-ft yacht’ had been participants in the alleged ‘freak offs’ Diddy is now accused of carrying out.
The interviewer noted that in these situations the person you’re speaking to is ‘invariably performing for you and obviously on their best behaviour’ so it’s hard to form a clear picture of them.

She’s not the only person who has encountered Combs who is now re-evaluating her past experiences with him.
Celebrity photographer Selma Fonseca said she attended between 20 and 30 Diddy parties, but not the alleged ‘freak offs’, and recounted a ‘scary moment where her camera was taken off her.
She said: “Diddy was in a VIP area, and I saw there was a girl next to him that I had never seen before.
“I took pictures of him with the girl, and he told his bodyguard ‘go get her camera.’ The bodyguard came and said ‘let me see the pictures’.
Advert
“Diddy looked at the pictures, and I’m waiting, and he’s pouring shots, having fun. He did eventually give me my camera back.
“He never asked me for my camera, I had been photographing the man for 20 years. It was scary, but he knew better.”

A 2002 interview with rapper P. Diddy detailing his party essentials has resurfaced following his 2024 arrest over allegations of sex trafficking.
Diddy, real name Sean Combs, was arrested by FBI agents on 16 September and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He is now facing criminal trial and has been denied bail twice by a judge.
Combs has since denied all criminal wrongdoing and pled not guilty to all charges brought against him.

Meanwhile, old interviews from the rapper talking about his infamous parties have since resurfaced online, with a 2002 clip taken from an appearance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien currently doing the rounds on social media.
Take a look at his comments in the clip below:
In the interview, Combs is asked about his party ‘ingredients’ by O’Brien, to which the rapper responds by reeling off a lengthy list that included ‘beautiful women’.
Advert
“Now we need alcohols, not just one alcohol, alcohols,” Combs began.
“You need the ladies, you need the booze, you need some water.”
The inclusion of water in his list surprised O’Brien, to which he replied by asking if the water was for ‘watering plants’.
However, Combs then clarified the water was for the women in attendance, replying: “I don’t know if guys have noticed this like, a lot of ladies drink water at parties so if you don’t have what they need they gonna leave.
Advert
“Gotta keep them there, locks on the doors.”
The remark appeared to catch O’Brien off guard a little, as he responded by saying the party sounded ‘kind of dangerous now’, while the audience erupted in laughter.
“It’s a little cakey but yeah rock with me,” Combs responded, before going on to add that ‘lot of heat’ was also important at his parties.
“Heat affects the alcohol and you know everybody gets a little bit more comfortable and loose, builds up a nice little sweat,” he explained.

The latest update in the case has seen over 100 people launch lawsuits against Combs alleging sexual abuse dating as far back as 1991.
Confirming the news on October 1 in a press conference, the alleged victims’ attorney Tony Buzbee said: “We will leave no stone unturned to find all potentially liable parties, to include any individual or entity who participated in or benefited from this egregious behaviour.”
A lawyer for Combs has since denied the further allegations via a statement issued to LADbible Group which reads: “As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.
Advert
“That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.
“He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”

A resurfaced interview clip of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs had him predicting that his parties would end up with him being arrested.
The musician is currently in jail after being arrested in New York City on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Combs has entered a plea of not guilty and denies all criminal wrongdoing, as more people are coming forward with claims of sex abuse.

For the time being, Diddy will remain behind bars, as he has twice been denied bail.

“He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
With the allegations made against him there are people looking through his former statements and things people have said about him.
In a clip from 1999 the musician spoke about his parties, saying ‘they’re gonna probably be arresting me’ over them.
He said: “You’re gonna hear about my parties, they’re gonna be shutting them down, they’re gonna probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things.

“Just ’cause we wanna have a good time.”
Other old Diddy interviews that have been examined since the allegations against Combs were made and the rapper arrested include an appearance he made on Ellen from 2009.

In that interview he said his parties ran between 9:30pm to about 3am, and when DeGeneres said she’d expect a Diddy party to start at around midnight, he said ‘a different type of party’.

Diddy then said the party would be followed by an ‘after-party’ held on ‘the top two floors’ of a hotel.
A 2011 interview where Combs was speaking with Justin Bieber on The Jimmy Kimmel Show had the rapper saying they’d ‘become friends in a strange way’.
“He knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with Big Brother Puff on national television,” Diddy said elsewhere in the interview.
“Everything ain’t for everybody.”

Those comments have now got some people wondering if there’s more to read into those words given the possible context and the allegations that have been made against Diddy.
