Stars who exposed Diddy’s jaw dropping dirty secrets way before it was out

The ruling empire of Sean “Diddy” Combs isn’t same. The 55-year-old rapper, who was once considered an entertainment mogul and a household name, has been embroiled in numerous controversies and scandals in recent years.

No one dared to speak out against the music mogul until his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura filed a case against him.

However, even before her, there were few bold celebrities, who dared to speak out about Combs’ alleged dark side, warning the world about his dirty and darkest secrets.

These celebrities hinted at a side of the entertainer that few dared to speak about; let's delve into who they are and when they spoke out:

Kanye West

In a deleted interview on the Drink Champs podcast in 2022, the I Wonder rapper labelled Combs “fake”.

“Puff Daddy, whoever... All you fake hard n*****, f*ck you… Cause you can’t shoot nobody anyway and the reason why you gotta talk is because you did a deal, you f*cking Fed!” West said, adding, “That’s why you’ve gotta come at me, because part of the deal for you to be able to do all that [you did] and get out of jail is that you promised that you are gonna go pull my card.”

Eminem

Eminem has had a long-standing feud with Combs, spanning over two decades.

He has even referenced the rapper in his lyrics, making accusations and using wordplay.

In his 2018 diss track, Killshot, he suggested the music mogul was involved in 2Pac's death, later dismissing it as a joke.

In 2024's Fuel, Eminem even hinted at sexual misconduct by Combs.

Liam Payne

The former One Direction singer during an interview in 2017 recalled meeting Combs at a party.

“I went over to speak to him and Jay-Z and as I shook his hand he just chuckled… [he had] the most evil laugh I’ve ever heard. So, I’m a little bit fearful of that man,” the late singer said, adding, “It was like the most daunting celebrity experience that you could ever imagine. I thought P Diddy was a safe bet. Obviously I missed the mark a little bit.”

50 Cent

The American rapper has had a public feud with Combs since the early '00s, and never shied away.

In 2023, shortly before the public allegations against the Bad Boy founder, the Candy Shop hitmaker said, “That’s why I don’t be going to them Puffy parties… Uh-uh. …hug you from the front and the back at the same time? F**k you talkin’ about? Look, if you into that, you into that, I’m fine with it. To each his own. I’m just sayin’ this ain’t my muthaf**kin’ kind of party. It’s uncomfortable. I think I belong in the girls bathroom when s**t like that is going on.”

Usher

The R&B singer’s feelings towards the imprisoned rapper seem complex.

They go way long back, as the Yeah! singer was joined Diddy's “Puffy Flavor Camp” at 13 and even lived with him in New York City.

Despite the connection he had with him as a teenager, Usher has since shared some concerning insights about Comb's behaviour.

The Lovers and Friends hitmaker once spoke to Howard Stern about his year spent living with Diddy as a 13-year-old: “I don’t even know if I could indulge or even understand what I was looking at. It was pretty wild, it was crazy… There were very curious things taking place and I didn’t necessarily understand it.”

To which, the host asked if he would ever let his kid to Puffy camp, to which, Usher replied, “Hell no.”

Ashton Kutcher

Once close friends with the rapper, Kutcher and Combs’ friendship goes way back.

According to OK! Magazine, they instantly hit it off and have been friends since the 2000s.

However, in the light of the music mogul’s sex trafficking allegations, the No Strings Attached actor appeared uncomfortable discussing the rapper's parties in an interview, hinting that he couldn't share much due to the nature of the events.

Denzel Washington

The Highest 2 Lowest actor reportedly had a heated confrontation with Combs at an all-night party in 2003.

According to sources, the 70-year-old actor partied with the now-imprisoned rapper until dawn, but after witnessing something that made them uncomfortable, Washington was seen screaming, “You don't respect anyone” and stormed out of the party.

It's worth noting that he even warned Brandon T. Jackson to leave the rapper's parties early, reportedly saying, “Before the devil gets there.”

Khloé Kardashian

Khloé Kardashian is one of the celebrities recalled attending one of his wild parties in an old clip of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

In a 2014 episode of her reality show, she mentioned that half the people at the party were “butt-naked”.

Although Khloé's statement wasn't a direct criticism of Combs, the Kardashian family has since distanced themselves from him.

Tupac Shakur

The deceased in a resurfaced interview back in 1995, was asked if he believes Combs was involved in a shooting in which he was the target.

Late Shakur responded, “Only they can answer that question. I have my own opinion but I wouldn’t slander their name like they did mine… I believe so.”

He further added, “I do believe so. I have proof, things that I could say that would back up my claim, but this is not for the world to know about.

“This is between me and him and only he knows. So every time he say it didn’t happen… that’s the only thing that makes this become an issue to everybody. Because you see what I said in [another interview]. I basically bowed out and was gonna go about my life.”

Interestingly, Tupac Shakur also wrote Hit 'Em Up as a diss track directed at Sean "Diddy" Combs and his Bad Boy Records.
