An old video of Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz discussing his experience at a party hosted by American rapper and producer Sean "Diddy" Combs has resurfaced, sparking interest due to Diddy’s recent legal issues.
In the video, originally posted in April 2024, Diamond shares how he attended a private party at Diddy’s house, but reveals that some of the activities were not suitable for sharing publicly.
“I went to Diddy’s, I think a day before America’s Independence Day. We were there, did a lot of things, but some of what happened can’t be posted because the future is still ahead,” Diamond said in Swahili.
He explained that the event involved various people and experiences that remained private.
Diamond added that he met Diddy after winning a BET award, although Diddy had already followed him on social media before they connected in person.
While the video was initially posted months ago, it has gained renewed attention in light of Diddy’s current legal troubles.
Diddy arrested amid serious Allegations
Sean "Diddy" Combs, who has been a prominent figure in the music industry for decades, was arrested last week by federal agents in Manhattan. The arrest came as part of an ongoing investigation into multiple accusations against him, including sexual assault and sex trafficking.
The US Federal Court confirmed the arrest, with a statement from the Southern District of New York. Damian Williams, the district attorney, said the arrest was based on a sealed indictment and that more details would be provided once the indictment was unsealed.
Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, stated that Diddy had voluntarily moved to New York in anticipation of the charges. Agnifilo described the prosecution as "unjust" and urged the public to withhold judgment until more facts were revealed.
“Diddy is not perfect, but he is not a criminal,” Agnifilo said. He said that Combs had fully cooperated with the investigation and maintained his innocence.
Diddy’s parties and reputation
Diddy has been known for hosting extravagant and exclusive parties over the years, attended by celebrities and influential figures from various industries. His gatherings are often luxurious and secretive, with attendees bound by unwritten rules of privacy. These events, described as wild and opulent, have contributed to Diddy's larger-than-life persona in the entertainment world.
However, the recent accusations have cast a shadow over his legacy after Federal agents raided his homes in Miami and Los Angeles earlier this year.
One of the most prominent allegations came from R&B singer Cassie (Casandra Ventura), who filed a lawsuit in 2023 accusing Combs of years of abuse, including physical violence and rape.
Although the case was settled, Combs faced further scrutiny after a video surfaced showing him allegedly assaulting Cassie in 2016.
In addition to Cassie’s case, other lawsuits have emerged, accusing Diddy of sexual misconduct and coercion. Despite these accusations, Diddy has denied any wrongdoing and continues to defend himself against the claims.
