DIDDY predicted being “arrested” over his wild parties at his mansion with star-studded guests in a 1999 interview.
The resurfaced clip shows Diddy, real name Sean Combs, being asked about his “hottest ticket in town” functions.

Combs, then around 30 years old, is captured sitting relaxed with sunglasses on while promoting the release of his song “Forever” with Entertainment Tonight in the resurfaced clip posted on X.
But instead of talking about his music, Combs jumps to defend his ultra-exclusive parties, claiming that anyone who didn’t like them was “intimidated”.
He said: “They don’t want me to throw the parties no more, but we ain’t going to stop – we’re going to keep on having fun bringing people together from all walks of life.”
Combs then unbelievably predicts his future, suggesting that if people heard about the parties, he’d be arrested.
He added: “They’re going to be shutting them down.
“They’re going to probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things just because we want to have a good time.”
The interviewer went on to ask how he felt about people “dying” to get into his wild parties.
He responded: “It’s cool.
“It makes me feel like I know how to throw a party.”
Combs, now 54, has since been charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution after his arrest in September.
Diddy entered a not guilty plea to the federal charges, which may result in a lengthy prison sentence.
The disgraced rapper was twice denied bail and is now being held at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in New York City as he awaits trial.
For more than a decade, the billionaire rapper used to invite Hollywood‘s A-listers to his legendary bashes.
None of the celebrities in attendance to Diddy’s parties have been accused of any wrongdoing.
There is also no suggestion that any celebrities or partygoers were aware of the music mogul’s alleged abuse.
It comes as a resurfaced clip from 2011 shows the producer, real name Sean Combs, and the young singer on US talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Combs, then 42, was sitting next to a teen Justin Bieber when the duo was asked what their relationship was about and if they were collaborating on music.
Describing Justin as like his “little brother,” Diddy answered that they had become friends “in a strange way” and that he was comfortable calling him for advice.

What happened during Sean Combs’ ‘freak offs’?
Sean Combs’ infamous drug-fueled freak offs, first revealed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit in November 2023, have become a central narrative of the indictment, which alleges:
The music mogul “manipulated women to participate in highly orchestrated performances of sexual activity with male commercial sex workers.”
Freak offs “occurred regularly, sometimes lasted multiple days, and often involved multiple commercial sex workers.”
Combs “distributed a variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant.”
He and the victims “typically received IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion and drug use” after the freak offs.
Cops “seized various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant” from his homes in Los Angeles and Miami.
Combs “hit, kicked, threw objects at, and dragged victims, at times, by their hair,” during and separate from the freak offs, which “often resulted in injuries that took days or weeks to heal.”
He also used the “sensitive, embarrassing, and incriminating recordings” that he made during freak offs as “collateral to ensure the continued obedience and silence of the victims.”
The music tycoon went on to say that the record industry was a close-knit family and that they had Justin covered from industry vultures.
Given his talent, Diddy called Justin “genuinely a nice person”.
He added: “He’s one of the greatest kids you could ever know.”
With a smile on his face, Bieber shook Diddy’s hand and told Jimmy that the CEO of Bad Boy Records had purchased a Lamborghini for him, but it hadn’t arrived yet.
When Jimmy asked Diddy about when Justin should expect the nice car, Diddy responded with a startling statement that doesn’t seem to have aged well.
He said: “[Justin] had the Lambo for a day or two and he had access to the house, and he knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with Big Brother Puff on national television.”
And Diddy’s accuser’s attorney has claimed a high-profile person was seen alongside the music mogul in a pornographic video.
The producer, real name Sean Combs, 54, has been charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution after his arrest.
For more than a decade, the billionaire rapper used to invite Hollywood’s A-listers to his legendary bashes.
None of the celebrities in attendance to Diddy’s parties have been accused of any wrongdoing.
There is also no suggestion that any celebrities or partygoers were aware of the music mogul’s alleged abuse.
Now, the lawyer for a fresh accuser of Sean “Diddy” Combs claims she has received calls regarding the “sale of one of the Diddy tapes”, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The footage is said to be a pornographic film that allegedly shows someone “more high-profile” than the rapper and founder of Bad Boy, alongside the troubled hip-hop mogul.
The evidence against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
THE months-long federal sex trafficking probe against Sean Combs has culminated in a searing incictment that was unsealed on Tuesday.
Combs has been hit with one count of racketeering and one count of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and one count of transportation to engage in prostitution. But behind those legal charges lies a mountain of alleged evidence of menace, violence, and horrific abuse of his fame. The indictment alleges:
Combs “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”
He “created a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.”
The rapper assaulted women by “striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at, and kicking them.”
Combs “manipulated women to participate in highly orchestrated performances of sexual activity with male commercial sex workers” that he called “freak offs.”
Freak offs “occurred regularly, sometimes lasted multiple days, and often involved multiple commercial sex workers.”
During freak offs, he “distributed a variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant.”
After freak offs, Combs and the victims “typically received IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion and drug use.”
In March 2024, during searches of his residences in Miami and Los Angeles, “law enforcement seized various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.”
During and separate from Freak Offs, Combs “hit, kicked, threw objects at, and dragged victims, at times, by their hair…These assaults often resulted in injuries that took days or weeks to heal.”
He also used the “sensitive, embarrassing, and incriminating recordings” that he made during freak offs as “collateral to ensure the continued obedience and silence of the victims.”
Combs himself “brandished firearms to intimidate and threaten others, including victims of and witnesses to his abuse.”
During searches of his homes, “law enforcement seized firearms and ammunition, including three AR-15s with defaced serial numbers, as well as a drum magazine.”
Associates “assisted him in locating and contacting victims who attempted to flee his abuse.”
When witnesses to the abuse threatened his authority or reputation, he and members and associates of the enterprise “engaged in acts of violence, threats of violence, threats of financial and reputational harm, and verbal abuse. These acts of violence included kidnapping and arson.”
