Sean “Diddy” Combs has hosted many parties over the years. Even before he became famous, people would have been clamoring to attend the events he organized. He once said that he would not divulge everything that happened during these events. Yet he kept the evidence of what was happening under lock and key. Diddy admitted to filming all of his parties.

Diddy has long compared himself to Frank Sinatra. He said one of their common traits was their love of entertainment.

“I love showing people a good time, throwing parties and seeing people having fun. That’s me,” he told People. “And Frank was the same. He loved to entertain.

Diddy recalled one of his most recent evenings, which lasted for hours. He admitted that some people, including himself, were naked in the pool. When discussing this, Diddy admitted to having this caught on tape, as he filmed all of his parties.

“Someone got naked and got into the pool. Actually, two people did it. And one of them was me,” Diddy said. “We have that footage under key and in a safe. I always keep the cameras rolling. You never know what can happen.

Some people said they didn’t feel safe at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ parties

While many people fought hard to get an invite to Diddy’s parties, others felt shaky while they were there. Bad Boy publicity director LaJoyce Brookshire said parties started to feel unsafe after a certain hour.

“I know it’s not safe after a certain time when there are drinks flowing, and people behind your back doing drugs in the toilets, and two or three people are going out together toilet,” she said in the documentary. The Fall of Diddy: The Indictment (via Vulture).

Diddy reportedly even made announcements to make it clear when the parties were about to take their turn. In footage from a party, he told guests with children to leave.

“The children have an hour left. Make yourself comfortable, kids, because after this you all have to go. It’s over for all of you,” he announced to the party from a balcony. “Because this thing is turning into something that, when you get older, you all want to get to.”

50 Cent said some celebrities were probably worried about appearing on tapes

50 Cent is a celebrity who has long spoken out against Diddy. He once said he avoided his parties.

“I was always adamant about not going to Puffy parties and doing shit like that,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “I’ve stayed out of this bullshit for years. It’s just an uncomfortable energy connected to it.

He thinks the reason many celebrities haven’t spoken out about Diddy is because they are worried about the party footage.

“Some of them went to the parties and had a good time, so they don’t know what’s on the tape or what’s not on the tape, so they won’t say anything because they could have had too much fun,” he said. “And then there are other people who look and say, ‘Well, it’s none of my business and I don’t want to be involved. ‘”
