Footage resurfaces from one of Diddy’s star-studded NYE parties
A video from one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ star-studded New Year’s Eve parties has resurfaced as the fallen hip-hop mogul awaits the May 5 start of his federal trial for sex trafficking and racketeering.
Footage obtained by TMZ from Diddy’s Dec. 31, 2009 bash shows pals like DJ Khaled and Busta Rhymes wishing their host and viewers a happy new year.
Diddy, now 55, can also be heard shouting out others who are “in the house,” including Akon, Drake, Rick Ross, Teyana Taylor and his “brother” Chris Brown.
“This is all brotherly love,” Combs tells the crowd, which also includes several of his kids.
The resurfaced footage comes nearly a month after Combs filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against NBC for the Peacock documentary“Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy,” which highlighted the wide-ranging federal and civil allegations against him.
At present, the Harlem-born Bad Boy Records founder is sitting in lockup at Brooklyn MDC, where he’s awaiting trial following his arrest in September.
Combs fell from glory in late 2023 after ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a bombshell lawsuit accusing him of rape, sex trafficking and long-standing abuse. They settled the suit the following day, but dozens of lawsuits alleging similarly disturbing offenses soon followed and have continued to pile up ever since.
Among the most recent allegations was a lawsuit filed last month by an unidentified woman who accused Combs of hiring her to work a sex party in Miami in or around 2020, when she was just 15 years old.
In January, another Jane Doe filed a lawsuit accusing Combs of raping her in Manhattan back in 2000, when she was 16.
