What Celebrities Have Said About Diddy's "Freak Off" Parties
In 2024, Sean Combs AKA Diddy was arrested and charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. Throughout the years, celebrities as varied as Khloe Kardashian and Ashton Kutcher have talked about the controversial “freak off” parties and what they saw there - or claimed to have never attended them.
Even Diddy himself has spoken publicly on the subject. Back in 1999, Diddy predicted that one day his “freak off” parties would get him into trouble. “They're going to be shutting them down," he said. “They're going to probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things just because we want to have a good time.”

Diddy
When Conan O'Brien asked about Diddy's “legendary parties,” Diddy gave him advice on how to throw one himself:
This is what you need to do. Women. Beautiful women, of course. Beautiful men for the ladies… You need to give the ladies what they need, too. Take care of your women. You can’t force the situation…
He then listed having alcohol and water to keep the women happy:
I don’t know if guys have noticed this, but a lot of ladies drink water at parties. So if you don’t have what they need, they gon’ leave. Gotta keep ’em there.
His next instruction seemed to come as a surprise:
You need locks on the doors.
O'Brien quipped:
This is sounding kind of dangerous now.
To which Diddy replied:
It’s a little kinky but, you know… rock with me.

50 Cent told The Hollywood Reporter:
I’ve been very vocal about not going to Puffy parties and doing sh*t like that. I’ve been staying out of that sh*t for years. It’s just an uncomfortable energy connected to it.
When asked about “Diddy party stories" anecdotes on Hot Ones, Kutcher replied:
Wow, okay, I’ve got a lot I can’t tell. Um...I can’t tell that one either. I’m actually cycling through them. There was one moment, so it’s not really a party story, but our relationship is really bizarre. So it started over Punk’d, 'cause he was like, “Yo, you can’t punk me.” And I was like, “I don’t know what to tell you. Everybody’s on the table.” He’s like, “Not me, I’m off the table.” And so that started our conversation. We became fast friends.
Nick Cannon told the The Breakfast Club podcast:
I've even been at one when I was a kid. Like 16, 17… I was in there Harlem-shaking, doing all of that stuff.
He also said of the celebrities who attended:
Everybody gets scared to talk because they probably got something to hide.
Previously, he told the One Night With Steiny podcast:
Been to all of the parties, DJ'ed them, all that stuff. I've never seen no wild s**t. I feel like they might hide that s**t from me.
Bow Wow told the More to the Story podcast:
[Diddy is] like the gatekeeper to the game, to the point to where BET Award weekend, like the past two, it just didn’t feel right because there was no motion, there was no parties.
He also said:
But it shows how monumental how important he was to the culture. I said, ‘Jermaine [Dupri], there was no parties.’ And you feel it. It’s like a hole. He was just such a gatekeeper for the liquor and the clubs. He was everything hip-hop. So for that to die out, you just really never thought. Especially when you look at somebody as somebody you studied, somebody you idolized.

Usher told Rolling Stones about living with Diddy:
There was always girls around. You’d open a door and see somebody doing it, or several people in a room having an orgy. You never knew what was going to happen.
Usher told Howard Stern:
I got a chance to see some things. I went there to see the lifestyle, and I saw it… It was pretty wild. It was crazy.
When asked if he'd ever send his child to “Puffy Camp," Usher quickly replied:
Hell no!
