The scandal surrounding rapper and producer Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy. Law enforcement authorities accuse the musician of creating a criminal business organization that is involved in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, bribery and obstruction of justice, reports CNN.
The scandal is currently one of the most high-profile in American show business, and athletes, among others, have been tangentially involved.
What are Diddy’s parties?
Rep. Diddy may not be well known to a wide range of music fans. However, as an organizer of big parties, he has become one of Hollywood’s top stars. At these parties he hosted many great celebrities: Jennifer Lopez, famous Arsenal fan Justin Bieber, Jay Z, Usher, Beyonce, Ashton Kutcher, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and even Leonardo DiCaprio, according to American media, stopped by to visit Diddy.
At this point, it is known that Combs was behind the organization of two types of parties in his mansions: so-called white parties and Freak Off parties. The latter were accessible to a narrow circle and were rumored to have a much more open and debaucherous atmosphere.
For example, former adult film star Adria English in early July accused rapper Sean Combs of sex trafficking and racketeering when she worked at his annual “white party” nearly 20 years ago.
During the first party, English was not forced to have sex with attendees. However, she was then forced to wear a black dress during one of the parties, which she said was meant to signal to others that she was a sex worker.
Who said “No party like a Diddy party”?
Close to the epicenter of the scandal is basketball player LeBron James. The sports legend is still unofficially, but only fans in social networks are accused of a possible friendship with Diddy. James himself has not confirmed this information, but the network is discussing an old video of James saying, “No party like a Diddy party”. He said it during one of his Instagram Live streams.
The context of this phrase is not fully known. However, users on social media agree on the idea that LeBron was thus supporting Diddy’s parties.
Which boxers have been to Diddy’s parties?
As in the case of the rest of the stars, at the moment it is not known to the end who attended the “closed part” of the parties. However, another controversy between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney has been brewing in the boxing world.
Haney was previously caught in one of the photos with Diddy. For many, it has already become a reason to wonder if the boxer attended the scandalous parties. At the same time, Ryan Garcia, who has repeatedly criticized Haney, tactfully kept silent about the photo, but said it was a very serious matter and called the whole incident “sad.”
Was Lewis Hamilton at Diddy’s parties?
This fact has yet to be proven. However, in 2018, the motorsport legend dedicated an unequivocal Twitter post to the rapper, calling him a brother.
“Brothers in white. I grew up watching and listening to my man puff. To stand here today as brothers is a honour and a privilege. I appreciate you bro for all you do, for being a goat and for always showing love. God Bless.”
By the way, the decision to delete traces of possible meetings with Diddy has become a trend in recent months. Hamilton is not the first and definitely not the last to do so. The consequence of LeBron’s decision to stay true to his principles is respectable. However, on the other hand it is also perplexing, as there are very serious allegations against the rapper to ignore.
What’s in store for LeBron, Haney and the others who attended Diddy’s parties?
At this point, the investigation and then the court will have to figure out the punishment for Diddy himself: whether the rapper is guilty and how much of the charges are his fault. The investigation and the court will have to prove Diddy’s guilt first, after which the police and investigators will deal with how guilty those who attended the parties are.
