“They're probably going to arrest me,” Sean “Diddy” Combs predicted in a resurfaced interview from 1999, in which the disgraced music mogul was talking about his parties that recently became known to the public as “Freak Offs.”
“Your party is the most popular.” Tonight's Entertainment Reporter said To Combs, the music mogul responded: “They don't even give me a permit to party. They don't want me to party anymore.”
“But we're not gonna stop,” Combs continued. “They're gonna hear about my party, they're gonna shut it down, they're gonna arrest me, and we're gonna do all kinds of crazy stuff because we just wanna have a good time.”
Combs added, “When you bring something different into people's environment, something that broadens their horizons, it intimidates people. There are a lot of people out there who are intimidated by that.”
“And it's nothing but breaking down racial barriers, breaking down generational barriers, speaking to people from all walks of life,” he added. “Ron Perlman talking to Jay-Z and Jay-Z… you know what he's saying? It goes on and on.”
“It feels like a connection and coming together of people from all walks of life,” Combs said.
In the video, Combs talks about the famous White Party, which was first held in the Hamptons over Labor Day weekend in 1998 and last held in Los Angeles in 2009. These parties do not appear to be the same as the Freak Off.
The music mogul was arrested last week and charged with more than a decade of abuse, intimidation, extortion, extortion conspiracy, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice against women and others.
According to the unsealed federal indictment, some of Combs' parties, known as “Freak Offs,” involved days of sexual activity with sex workers and others and allegedly giving them “various controlled substances” to keep them “docile and submissive.”
According to the indictment, Combs is alleged to have planned and directed the Freak Offs, masturbated during the performances, electronically recorded himself, and given the victims “intravenous fluids to aid in their recovery from physical exertion and drug use,” and that the music mogul used the recordings “as collateral to ensure the victims' continued compliance and silence.”
Since his arrest, old video footage of Combs talking about partying has resurfaced, including a 2002 interview the music mogul did with former late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien.
“You have to keep them there,” Combs explained in an interview. “You have to lock the door.”
