Sean “Diddy” Combs was one of the industry’s most sought-after rappers. But in recent times, the artist has been up the creek without a paddle with several new accusations coming to light every now and then. Now in the midst of new charges against him, a past interview of his has come out in the open, in which he can be seen conversing with famous host David Letterman.
The entire industry has been trying to keep themselves away from the infamous Diddy controversy. However, a past interview of the rapper resurfaced recently in which he revealed that the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson attended one of his notorious parties.
The Real Reason Why Michael Jackson Attended Diddy’s Party
David Letterman has taken several high-profile interviews in his decades-long hosting career. While some were loved by fans, others have not aged well. One such interview has resurfaced recently and showcased infamous rapper Diddy dropping some bombshells about his numerous high-profile parties.
This time he brought in the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson and revealed that the late singer had attended one of his parties. Interestingly, this interview was filmed before his controversies, and what at that time was once a fun conversation is now raising some eyebrows. The rapper has made almost fifteen appearances on Late Show with David Letterman between 1997 and 2010.
In one such interview via The Things, the host showed a photo of Diddy with Jackson and asked the rapper where the picture was taken. He confirmed that the iconic singer had attended one of his parties and added:
That was taken maybe six years ago. [Michael] came to one of my parties. So I’m in the party. I’m hosting them. You know, I’m being the hostess with the mostess and everything. And then, the security come up to me and say, ‘Mister Combs, Mister Michael Jackson is here to see you.’ I’m like, ‘Get out of here.
The rapper also immediately added that Jackson was not there to hang out with him. But on the contrary, he was there to meet Beyoncé. Further, after Jackson found the Single Ladies singer, they danced together. The infamous rapper also clarified that this was before Beyoncé got together with Jay Z.
Will Smith’s Interview With David Letterman After His Oscar’s Controversy
What was supposed to be the biggest night of Will Smith‘s life turned out to be his worst nightmare. The entire fiasco happened at the 94th Academy Awards in 2022, in which the actor got on stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock during his presentation. For context, Rock had made some jokes about Jada Pinkett Smith’s Alopecia, which didn’t sit well with the actor.
So, alongside his Oscar win for King Richard he was also handed a ten-year ban from the prestigious awards. Interestingly, Netflix released an episode of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman featuring the actor. While this was filmed before the slap controversy, it marked Smith’s first interview since the altercation.
During the same, Smith reflected on his childhood and also shared a gut-wrenching story about how his father used to beat his mother. This was happening while the actor was just 9 years old and felt helpless. It was this trauma of his that pushed him towards comedy as he mentioned “negativity cannot exist” when a person is laughing.
