Usher has claimed he witnessed “very curious things” whilst living in Diddy’s mansion at age 14.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ homes in Los Angeles and Miami were reportedly raided by federal agents, in connection to a sex trafficking investigation earlier this week.
A rep for Homeland Security Investigations told TMZ on Monday: “Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners.”
In a resurfaced interview with Usher on the Howard Stern Show in 2016, the R&B singer recalled his time living in Diddy’s home in the spring of 1994.
The 45-year-old claimed that it was LA Reid’s idea to have him live with the rapper in Scarsdale so he could “see the lifestyle.”
When asked by the host if Diddy’s “place was filled with chicks and org*ing nonstop,” Usher replied: “Not really… I got a chance to see some things … I don’t know if I could indulge and 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,” he confessed.
The singer was then quizzed whether he would send his own kids to “Puffy Flavor Camp,” to which he immediately exclaimed: “Hell no!”
In a 2004 interview with Rolling Stone Usher admitted that Diddy introduced him to a “totally different set of s**t — sex, specifically.”
“Sex is so hot in the industry, man, there was always girls around. You’d open a door and see somebody doing it, or several people in a room having an orgy. You never knew what was going to happen.”
Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie was the first to speak out against the 54-year-old, accusing him of rape, assault and repeated physical abuse in a lawsuit filed in November 2023.
The former couple dated on and off from 2007 until 2018.
At the time, Diddy vehemently denied her “offensive and outrageous allegations”.
A statement from his lawyer Ben Brafman said: “For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura’s persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail.”
Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr. Combs’s reputation and seeking a payday.”
The following day, Cassie dropped the suit and announced that they had settled “amicably”.
Since then, four more alleged victims have come forward accusing Diddy of sexual assault.
Diddy has denied all the accusations, and claimed they are “looking for a quick payday”.
The most recent claims against Diddy came from Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones last month, who accused the rapper of sexually harassing, drugging and threatening him between September 2022 to November 2023.
Diddy denied the allegations, and accused him of “shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday”.
