Diddy joked about locking up women in old Conan O’Brien interview
'What do you do to make an amazing, killer party?' late-night host asked

In an old interview currently making the rounds on social media, Sean “Diddy” Combs joked about “locking the doors” to prevent women leaving his “Freak Off” parties.


In a resurfaced clip from a 2002 appearance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien back in 2002, the disgraced music mogul, who is facing charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, revealed his “ingredients” for throwing a “killer party.”

“You’re legendary for the parties that you throw. You throw a great party,” O’Brien said to Combs in the segment, which was shared to X and viewed over 16 million times. “What’s the ingredient? What do you do to make an amazing, killer party?”

“Women, beautiful women, of course,” the Bad Boy Records founder told O’Brien. “Beautiful men for the ladies, of course. There’s enough ladies to go around. You have to give the ladies what they need too. You have to take care of your women. You can’t force the situation.”


Combs, now 54, continued, adding that his parties required a variety of “alcohols” and water.

“You need some water. I don’t know if guys have noticed this but a lot of ladies drink water at parties, so if you don’t have what they need, they’re going to leave. Gotta keep them there. Need locks on the doors,” he said.

“This is sounding kind of dangerous now,” O’Brien replied.

Combs dismissed the Conan O’Brien Must Go host’s fears saying he likes things “a little kinky.” He then rattled off some more of his party requirements.

“You need a lot of heat. Don’t have no air conditioning. Heat affects the alcohol but everybody also gets a little more comfortable and loose … builds up a nice little sweat,” he said.

The last thing his parties needed, he concluded was a good DJ and, he added ominously, “you need me, of course.”



Other appearances Combs made on late-night also went viral after he was charged last week with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution.

During a 2018 stop on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Combs was asked whether he’d ever consider running for office.

“By the way, President Trump had his own vodka, it didn’t work out anywhere near as good as yours. Maybe you could be president. Do you ever think about anything like that?” Kimmel asked.

Combs acknowledged he “wouldn’t make a good president,” telling Kimmel: “I wouldn’t really pass any of the things that you have to pass … I don’t think I could be responsible for the whole country.”

According to a criminal indictment, Combs, who was denied bail last week and remains in custody, is accused of using his “power and prestige” to induce female victims and male sex workers into drugged-up, elaborately produced sexual performances dubbed “Freak Offs” that the rapper arranged, participated in and often recorded on video. The events would sometimes last days and Combs and victims would often receive IV fluids to recover, the indictment said.


“He used the embarrassing and sensitive recordings he made of the ‘Freak Offs’ as collateral against the victims, and the indictment alleges that he maintained control over the victims in several ways, including by giving them drugs, by giving and threatening to take away financial support or housing, by promising them career opportunities, by monitoring their whereabouts and even by dictating their physical appearance,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said.

Prosecutors said that victims were left afraid for their safety and allege that Combs used firearms to threaten and intimidate participants.

If convicted, Combs, who has pleaded not guilty, could spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Some of the abuse claims alleged by police mirror accusations Combs’ former girlfriend Cassie Ventura made against the three-time Grammy winner last fall.


Ventura sued Combs last November, claiming the hip-hop star raped and sex trafficked her over the course of their abusive 10-year relationship.

The lawsuit was settled a day later, with Ventura saying: “I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control. I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support.”

Combs denied the allegations, but issued a statement that said: “We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love.”


But earlier this year, security video aired by CNN showed Combs attacking Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway in 2016.

The video aired in May and showed Combs, wearing only a white towel, punching and kicking the Me & U singer who was his protege and longtime girlfriend at the time. The footage also showed Combs shoving and dragging Cassie, and throwing a vase in her direction.


According to the Associated Press, Ventura’s lawsuit alleged that Combs paid the hotel $50,000 for the security video. CNN did not say how it obtained the video but noted that it verified the location comparing it to publicly available images of the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles.

After Cassie’s lawsuit was settled, Combs was hit with several more lawsuits filed in the following months, and was subjected to a federal criminal sex-trafficking investigation that led authorities to raid his mansions in Los Angeles and Miami.

Back in May, a tearful Combs apologized for his behaviour, calling his actions “inexcusable.”

“I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now,” Combs said in a video statement posted to Instagram and Facebook.


But according to prosecutors, when authorities raided Combs’ homes in California and Florida they uncovered drugs, videos and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant. They said agents also seized guns and ammunition, including three AR-15s with missing serial numbers.

While some of Combs’ collaborators have been left reeling by the charges, his frequent critic 50 Cent mocked the entrepreneur’s arrest with a post on Instagram.

“Here I am keeping good company with @thedrewbarrymoreshow and I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house,” the In Da Club rapper joked.

Woman alleges Sean ’Diddy’ Combs raped her on video in latest lawsuit

Published Sep 24, 2024 • 3 minute read

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Another woman sued Sean “Diddy” Combs on Tuesday, alleging that the music mogul and his head of security raped her and recorded it on video at his New York recording studio in 2001.


The lawsuit filed in federal court in New York, the latest of several similar suits against Combs, comes a week after he was was arrested and a federal sex trafficking indictment against him was unsealed.

Thalia Graves alleges that when she was 25 and dating an executive who worked for Combs in the summer of 2001, Combs and Joseph Sherman lured her to a meeting at Bad Boy Recording Studios. She said they picked her up in an SUV and during the ride gave her a drink “likely laced with a drug.”

According to the lawsuit, Graves lost consciousness and awoke to find herself bound inside Combs’ office and lounge at the studio. The two men raped her, slapped her, slammed her head against a pool table and ignored her screams and cries for help, the lawsuit alleges.


At a news conference in Los Angeles with one of her attorneys, Gloria Allred, Graves said she has suffered from “flashbacks, nightmares and intrusive thoughts” in the years since.

“It has been hard for me to trust others to form healthy relationships or even feel safe in my own skin,” Graves said, crying as she read from a statement.

She said it is “a pain that reaches into your very core of who you are and leaves emotional scars that may never fully heal.”

Combs remains jailed without bail in New York on federal charges alleging that he ran a vast network that facilitated sexual crimes and committed shocking acts of violence, using blackmail and other tactics to protect Combs and those close to him.

He pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. His attorney said he is innocent and will fight to clear his name. His representatives did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment on the latest lawsuit. There was no immediate indication from the lawsuit or from Combs’ representatives whether Sherman had a separate attorney who could comment on the allegations.


The lawsuit was filed under the New York City Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, and comes during a two-year window that suspends legal deadlines and allows sexual assault victims to sue over abuse that might otherwise be too old to pursue.

Allred declined to say whether her client had spoken to investigators in Combs’ criminal case. The indictment in that case mentions only allegations since 2008.

Graves’ lawsuit also alleges that late last year, after Combs’ former singing protege and girlfriend Cassie filed a lawsuit that began the surge of allegations against him, Graves learned through her former boyfriend that Combs had recorded her rape, shown it to others and sold it as pornography.


The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused, unless they come forward publicly as Graves and Cassie, whose legal name is Casandra Ventura, have done.

Graves’ lawsuit says both Combs and Sherman contacted her multiple times in the years after the assault, threatening repercussions if she told anyone what had happened to her. She was in a divorce and custody fight at the time and feared losing her young son if she revealed anything, the suit says.

Graves said at the news conference that the guilt and shame attached “often made me feel worthless, isolated and sometimes responsible for what happened to me.”

The lawsuit seeks damages to be determined at trial and for all copies of the video to be accounted for and destroyed.

The lawsuit also names as defendants several companies owned by Combs, the three-time Grammy winner and founder of Bad Boy Records who was among the most influential hip-hop producers and executives of the past three decades.

Sean ’Diddy’ Combs faces new sex assault allegations in woman’s lawsuit

Published Sep 27, 2024 • 3 minute read

Sean “Diddy” Combs was hit with new sexual assault allegations Friday as a woman filed a lawsuit in New York saying she was repeatedly raped and drugged at the music mogul’s homes and became pregnant after one of the encounters.


It’s the latest of several similar lawsuits by women against Combs, who also was arrested last week on a federal sex trafficking indictment.

The lawsuit was filed against Combs, his companies and several associates and seeks undisclosed damages for physical injuries, severe emotional distress, humiliation, anxiety and other harms. A lawyer for Combs, his company and one of his representatives did not immediately return emails seeking comment Friday.

The woman in the latest lawsuit, identified by the pseudonym Jane Doe, accuses Combs of sexually assaulting her while she was unconscious from drugs, and it alleges Combs and his acquaintances recorded sexual encounters without her permission. She says that she met Combs overseas in fall 2020 and that the assaults and harassment continued through July this year.


Doe says she often was coerced and harassed into traveling to Combs’ homes in New York, Los Angeles and Miami and other cities, including monthly in 2021 and 2022.

“At every visit, (Combs) would make her ‘perform a show’ for him and would ply her with alcohol and substances until she passed out _ she would wake up with bruising and injuries but with no recollection of how she sustained her injuries,” the lawsuit says.

In a July 2022 encounter with Combs at his Los Angeles home, the woman alleges in the lawsuit, she was forced to ingest drugs she believes included ketamine and blacked out. She later took a pregnancy test and told Combs it was positive, she says. A Combs associate repeatedly demanded she get an abortion, and she had a miscarriage, she asserts.


This past July, Doe says, Combs “commanded” her to go to his home in Miami, where she alleges Combs shoved two pills in her mouth. She says that the next morning, she felt ill and confused and could not remember what had happened the night before, and that the bedroom was in disarray.

Doe, being represented by attorneys Marie Napoli and Joseph Ciaccio, also alleges Combs and his associates tracked her location and monitored her conversations. She says Combs discouraged her from working and gave her an “allowance” that he used to control her.

“Powerful figures in the entertainment industry have long exploited aspiring artists and fans,” Napoli said in a statement. “Recent high-profile lawsuits aim to hold these celebrities accountable, potentially transforming industry practices and providing justice for victims. No one is above the law. Fame and wealth do not protect Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs from serious allegations of sex trafficking and abuse.”



On Tuesday, another woman sued Combs, alleging that the music mogul and his head of security raped her and recorded it on video at his New York recording studio in 2001.

Combs remains jailed without bail in New York on the federal charges alleging he ran a vast network that facilitated sexual crimes and committed shocking acts of violence, using blackmail and other tactics to protect Combs and those close to him.

He pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. His attorney said he is innocent and will fight to clear his name.

Earlier this month, Combs admitted that he beat his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel hallway in 2016 and apologized after CNN released video of the attack.

Combs, 54, is one of the best-known music executives, producers and performers across hip-hop, having won three Grammys and worked with artists such as Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil Kim, Faith Evans and 112. He founded Bad Boy Records in 1993, the influential fashion line Sean John, a vodka brand and the Revolt TV network. He sold off his stake in the latter company in June of this year.

The music industry in general isn't about talent anymore. It's all about image. I mean yeah, image has been a part of modern music for decades but today it's like talent is secondary, maybe even tertiary.

Look up what auto-tune is and then tell me how easily that technology can be abused to make talentless hacks into stars.
Look up "record contract" and then tell me corporate gatekeepers didn't pick and choose stars back in the day.

Your odds of making it big without corporate sponsorship are better now than ever before.
