00:00There are so many witnesses. There are so many victims.

00:04Welcome to WatchMojo.

00:06And today, we're looking at celebrities who spoke out against Sean Combs, aka P. Diddy, before his 2024 arrest and indictment.

00:13We're just starting to scratch the surface of what this case, who this case is going to touch and involve.

00:22Jaguar Wright.

00:23And congratulations, young Miami.

00:26Run as fast as Cassie did.

00:28Neo-soul singer Jaguar Wright lacks no boldness in the claims that she's made against Sean Diddy Combs.

00:34Most tamely, she alleges that he's abused and assaulted multiple associates in the music industry.

00:39Uptown Records started with five people.

00:45Andre Harrell.

00:48I'll be sure.

00:49But escalating from those potential atrocities, Wright made declarations that the rapper has been involved in nothing less than foul play.

00:56Wright has noted that prominent members of Uptown Records, now all deceased, might somehow be connected to Combs and his purported misconduct.

01:04Andre Harrell is dead.

01:07The only two left are Puffy and Al, and Al almost died.

01:14Though the validity of Jaguar Wright's statements have yet to be fully investigated,

01:17this will no doubt be a loud voice in the conversation surrounding the Diddy scandal.

01:22As of this video's publication, Diddy has yet to address Wright's accusations officially.

01:27Mark Curry.

01:28Drop that D.

01:29Can't believe it, IMC.

01:31Bad boy to the casket drop.

01:33Being most easily recognized for collaborating with P. Diddy on the single Bad Boy for Life,

01:37it's not surprising that Curry may have some insider knowledge about his alleged misdoings.

01:42In December of 2023, about one month after Diddy's assault lawsuits began filing in,

01:48Curry spoke candidly in an interview about a myriad of the hip-hop moguls' purported crimes.

01:53And they'd be like,

01:53We having a party tonight, but this ain't your kind of party.

01:56You'd be like,

01:56Yeah, I ain't going.

01:58I don't want to go.

01:59He described how,

02:00when out clubbing with Diddy,

02:01Hearing these claims come so matter-of-factly from Curry so early on in Diddy's legal troubles

02:23brings a frightening new level of validity to all of the claims made against him.

02:28Orlando Brown.

02:28I got in my Diddy mode.

02:30I'm sorry.

02:30I started licking my lip.

02:31You know what I'm saying?

02:31I mean,

02:32Yo, Diddy, you gave me the oosh-gosh-goosh-wash.

02:34This actor and rapper has had his own troubles with the law,

02:38but nevertheless,

02:39Brown had come out and discussed Diddy on multiple occasions,

02:42albeit more cryptically than some of these other claimants.

02:45In an interview with Cam Capone News in 2022,

02:48Brown snapped into a strange, gibberish rant seemingly to Diddy,

02:52who was not in the room, nor was he being discussed.

02:57That oosh-gosh-goosh.

02:59You know what I'm talking about, Diddy?

03:00Looking back on this clip, there was clearly something unusual about the two rappers' relationship.

03:05In another conversation, Brown was asked if it was possible for someone to be successful in show business without engaging in drugs.

03:12He said absolutely, with an exception.

03:15Bro, the requirement is you gotta say no to Diddy.

03:18Kanye West

03:20In retrospect, we should have read between the lines whenever somebody described a puffy party.

03:24In a 2014 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians,

03:28Khloe recalled attending a Diddy party where everyone was, quote,

03:31butt naked.

03:32Khloe's former brother-in-law, Kanye West, also made comments concerning Diddy that read differently now.

03:47In 2022, West called Sean Combs a, quote,

03:51fed, claiming he had sold people out to spare himself from jail time.

03:54That's why you gotta come at me, cause part of the deal, for you to be a doer and get out of jail,

04:00is that you promise that you're gonna go pull my co-car.

04:04Since West is infamous for making wild, often unfounded accusations,

04:08these statements initially blended in with his other tirades.

04:11Even now, it's hard to say if West's allegations were authentic.

04:15Given Combs' current legal issues, though, West's words feel like a warning.

04:19Whether or not he truly had any inside information.

04:22I don't know if it's a party, I'm saying that metaphorically, you know what I'm saying?

04:25But you've heard about the parties that everyone is talking about.

04:27But you've never got invited to them, so you really...

04:30I don't know, I don't even know what the party, that's how far out of it I am.

04:33Usher

04:33When he was just getting his foot in the music industry's door,

04:36a 13-year-old Usher spent a year living with Combs.

04:40Usher opened up about this experience in a 2016 interview with Howard Stern.

04:44Does he have you doing any chores? Are you doing dishes at all?

04:46I mean, to keep you humble somewhat?

04:48Or are you just like, can you stay up till four in the morning with them and party?

04:51I mean, I could. I actually stayed up longer than them.

04:54Although he made it sound like a blast,

04:56Usher hinted at something more disturbing beneath the surface.

04:59Usher said that he didn't, quote,

05:01understand what he was even looking at.

05:03End quote,

05:03very curious things were taking place.

05:06I went there to see the lifestyle, and I saw it.

05:09But I don't know if I could indulge and understand what I was even looking at.

05:14Perhaps most telling,

05:15Usher made it clear that he wouldn't want his children attending, quote,

05:18puffy camp like their father.

05:20Regardless, Usher's protege, Justin Bieber, would spend 48 hours with Combs.

05:25It may just be speculation,

05:26but a fake phone number that Bieber later gave Combs now reads like a cry for help.

05:30I mean, you try to get in contact with me, you know, through all my, you know, partners and whatnot.

05:35But you never really got my number, so.

05:38Right, okay.

05:39My number?

05:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.

05:40I'm going to tell you my number.

05:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.

05:42It's 555?

05:43Yes.

05:44Okay.

05:445555.

05:45Mace.

05:46In addition to breaking out as Diddy's hype man in the 90s,

05:49Mason Durrell Betha, or Mace, released three studio albums through Bad Boy Records.

05:54Mace eventually had a falling out with Combs and his record label.

05:57I never got paid what I was worth, and I never got the respect I was worth.

06:03So the disdain that I got for Puff is more like, you're trying to keep me here.

06:08Leading up to his former collaborator's arrest,

06:11Mace claimed Combs cheated him with a $20,000 publishing deal

06:15and had been withholding royalties for decades.

06:18In a 2022 interview, Combs asserted that Mace owed him $3 million.

06:22That's facts.

06:24I got the receipt.

06:25Second album, you gave money to do a second album, never delivered.

06:28Did the album, never delivered.

06:29You know what I'm saying?

06:30And I'm not going to go back and forth with Mace.

06:32You know what I'm saying?

06:32I'm not going back and forth with nobody.

06:34Combs nevertheless returned the publishing rights to Mace

06:37and several other Bad Boy artists the following year.

06:40Although Mace was among the first to call Combs out over royalties,

06:43he wouldn't be the last.

06:45In 2024, former bandmate Don Richard sued Combs, citing, among other things,

06:50roughly $5 million in unpaid earnings.

06:53Don had the choice to file the case as a Jane Doe,

06:56and she chose not to do that after giving it a fair amount of thought.

07:00She wants accountability.

07:01She wants justice.

07:02Kat Williams.

07:03I sure hope I have a Club Shay Shay after this year.

07:07It's going to be in a dimension it's never been.

07:10Yeah, it's going to be.

07:10Comedian Kat Williams is no stranger to run-ins with the law and reported abusive behavior.

07:23As such, it's understandable why some would call Williams' credibility into question.

07:28In January 2024, though, Williams made several remarks about Combs

07:32that only became more relevant in the months to come.

07:34On Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast, Williams touched upon the now-notorious ditty parties,

07:40advising people to just say no.

07:42And you gotta tell him no.

07:44And you gotta tell him no.

07:46Come on!

07:46I did.

07:47Phil.

07:48I did.

07:48See, I got the receipts for everything I'm telling you.

07:50That's why I can say them so freely.

07:52Kat, I need no.

07:53While his reasons were somewhat vague, Williams was especially concerned about protecting a

07:58certain area of his body.

07:59Williams didn't elaborate further.

08:01Although he took another shot at Combs later in the interview,

08:04I know how blessed I am.

08:06If I look at it, I got it.

08:08That's how ditty be feeling.

08:10Come on, man.

08:10Come on.

08:14The recent allegations regarding Combs' quote,

08:17freakout parties and alleged abuse have painted Williams' words in a whole new light.

08:22Aubrey O'Day

08:23What do Donald Trump and ditty have in common?

08:25Well, arguably quite a few things.

08:27But singer-slash-reality star Aubrey O'Day is one of them.

08:30Once mentored by Combs, O'Day later appeared on the fifth season of The Celebrity Apprentice.

08:36I am a very strict and focused businesswoman because working for Diddy for six years

08:41trained me to have to be perfect.

08:44Working for Diddy?

08:45Absolutely.

08:45I love Diddy.

08:46When O'Day brought up her association with Diddy, Trump was quick to shower him with praise.

08:51O'Day tiptoed around her former boss, unwilling to say if he was a, quote,

08:54good guy, as Trump described him.

08:57I don't want to answer that question.

08:58Oh, wow.

08:58I think he's a good guy.

08:59I'm going to stick up for him.

09:02During a 2019 interview with Variety, O'Day went into greater detail.

09:06Discussing her time on the Diddy produced Making the Band, O'Day said, quote,

09:10We were scared to death with what would happen with Puff each day.

09:13I experienced everything from race remarks to sexism, and a lot of it was scary.

09:18I was listening to Gene Deal, his bodyguard.

09:20Yeah, I talked to him yesterday.

09:22Really?

09:22Yeah.

09:23Because he had a really astonishing quote.

09:26You should hear the one he's not saying.

09:27It's even crazier.

09:28Right.

09:29So he's got stuff in the tuck that he hasn't put out there?

09:33Everybody does.

09:34Wendy Williams.

09:35I have broken up with somebody.

09:37Who?

09:38I don't want to say.

09:39Do we know the person?

09:40Maybe.

09:41Okay.

09:41After being fired from Hot 97 in 1998, Wendy Williams accused Combs of playing a role.

09:47In 2004, Williams wrote that she would, quote,

09:49Never forget the hell Combs put her through.

09:52Even so, Williams said that she didn't hate Combs.

09:55On a 2015 episode of her show, Williams commented on the allegations that Cassie Ventura was hiding

10:00from Combs.

10:01This is a beautiful dress, by the way, that she has on.

10:05And Puffy, you look great for all the hard partying.

10:09Williams painted Combs as a, quote,

10:11Mogul you can't escape.

10:12The same year, Williams asked Jennifer Lopez if she would ever get back together with Combs.

10:17Lopez's mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez, basically answered for her daughter with a look that

10:22said everything.

10:23Although they reconciled in 2017, viewers have been waiting on pins and needles to hear

10:28Williams' thoughts about Combs in the wake of his arrest.

10:31You are exhausting me.

10:32Let me tell you something.

10:33This week has been hella exhausting.

10:3650 Cent.

10:37Curtis James Jackson III, aka 50 Cent, is another big name who's had a longstanding feud with

10:43Combs.

10:43It all started with 50 Cent's 2006 diss track, The Bomb, which alleged that Combs was connected

10:48to the murder of Biggie Smalls.

10:53There's still little concrete evidence backing up that conspiracy theory.

10:57In October 2023, though, 50 Cent elaborated on his beef with Diddy, describing his parties

11:03as, quote, uncomfortable.

11:05That's not really beef, though.

11:06That's just competitive.

11:08Competitiveness.

11:08All right.

11:09So you and Diddy?

11:10You and Puff Cool?

11:11No, I don't really about it.

11:12Okay.

11:12During his final app tour, 50 Cent said Diddy would, quote, hug you from the front and the

11:17back at the same time.

11:1850 Cent has been even more vocal about Combs following the raid on his homes.

11:22It's also been reported that 50 Cent sold a docu-series to Netflix entitled Diddy Do It?

11:27Oh!

11:28Oh!

11:29I guess this means I won't be invited to the white parties in the handguns.

11:33Tupac Shakur.

11:34Speaking of conspiracies, 50 Cent has also claimed that Combs got Tupac killed.

11:39Again, there isn't much backing this up, although Tupac was also skeptical of Combs.

11:43If these rumors or allegations are true, it would make sense he would be able to get

11:48away from it, or get away with it for so long because people would be afraid.

11:52Speaking with Vibe magazine in 1995, Shakur was asked if he thought Combs was connected

11:57to his shooting the previous year.

11:59Shakur did not hold back, saying, quote, I believe so, adding that, quote, it's between

12:04me and him, and only he knows.

12:06I have proved things that I can say that will back up my claim, but this is not for the

12:11world to know about.

12:11About a year later, Shakur was involved in another shooting, this one proving fatal.

12:16Dwayne Keefe D. Davis, who was arrested for Tupac's murder in 2023, once said that

12:21Combs offered $1 million to carry out Shakur's assassination.

12:24I think that was a bad move, dude, you know what I'm saying?

12:28To me.

12:29Yeah, but show some love, brother love.

12:31Whether or not Combs was involved, Shakur's words paint the portrait of a violent man.

12:36Rodney Lilrod Jones

12:38While Combs has faced numerous accusations throughout the years, Rodney Lilrod Jones was among the

12:43first to take serious legal action, contributing to the mogul's current circumstances.

12:48Jones was a producer on Combs' The Love album, Off the Grid.

12:51According to Jones, though, he, quote,

12:53Endured many things that went far beyond his role as a producer.

12:57Claims made by Jones include hidden cameras in the rat mogul's home, saying, quote,

13:01Mr. Combs allegedly threatened to eat Mr. Jones' face in order to get what he wants.

13:06Jones alleged that Combs repeatedly groped him and made him participate in unwanted sexual

13:10activities.

13:11This included having to work in the bathroom as Combs showered.

13:14What's more, Jones claimed that he woke up naked in bed with Combs and two sex workers

13:18after being drugged. His lawsuit also implicates Combs' son, Justin, and Chief of Staff Christina

13:24Corum, the latter of whom was accused of grooming.

13:27Basically calls her the Ghislaine Maxwell to Sean Combs' Jeffrey Epstein.

13:46Cassie Ventura, this model-turned-singer, was in a relationship with Combs from 2007 to 2018.

13:54There had been signs of trouble in paradise. In 2015, Ventura shared an image of a sleeping

13:59baby, posting, quote,

14:01How I sleep, knowing that I'm single and nobody cheating on me.

14:04The next year, it was reported that the two were seen arguing in Beverly Hills.

14:08Five years after their final breakup, Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs, accusing him of

14:13domestic violence, sexual abuse, and sex trafficking.

14:16Although Combs denied these claims, the lawsuit would be settled out of court.

14:21This wasn't the end, as footage from 2016 surfaced.

14:24It appears to corroborate Cassie's claims identically. Really, Jake, the lawsuit lines

14:30up with exactly what we are seeing.

14:32Combs issued an apology, while many have supported Ventura for marking the beginning of his downfall.

14:37What other celebrity accounts have you looking at Diddy differently? Let us know in the comments.

14:42I had my own opinion, but I wouldn't slander their name like they did mine.

14:46A lot of cheesy names are scanned.

14:47What other celebrity accounts have you looking at the theft?

14:48Can you reach out to me? Like, give me a shout-out?

14:49I can tell you guys it said you guys are looking at the theft.

14:51They did not have to be the theft.

14:51What other celebrityаты have you looking at in the past?

14:52Have a good look.

14:52Have a good look here.

14:54A lot of family members are looking at the theft.

14:55This is a good idea.

14:56Do you want to be a girl?

14:56It would be a girl?

14:57That's a year?

14:58That's a good looking at the theft, a burying plupart?

14:59Oh, yeah.

14:59You can tell us.

15:00It's a good idea.

15:00You can tell us.

15:01It's a good idea.

15:02It's a good idea of a woman.

15:03You
