Hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is currently in custody after a judge denied his request for bail, including a $50 million bail package, and ordered him to be held until his trial on federal charges begins. The charges stem from the Freak Off parties that allegedly took place at Diddy’s East Hamptons mansion, which attracted a host of rappers and celebrities.
A drug dealer said Diddy’s Freak Off parties shocked him by seeing celebrities having group sex. He said Diddy opened the door to his Hamptons mansion wearing only a bathrobe and led him into a back bedroom to make a cocaine deal.
“Weird things started happening. Celebrities were having sex. There were back rooms and it was like a secret sanctuary. You’d see two people you never thought would be together, rappers, it was shocking. I won’t name names but there were rappers that I instantly lost all respect for and couldn’t take seriously anymore,” he said.
The drug dealer added that many of the party attendees, including “a bunch of female rappers and prostitutes ,” were using ketamine and GHB. “That’s when I had to get out of there ,” the dealer added, adding that he did not see Diddy engaging in any sexual activity at the event.
Luxurious villas and famous guests
Diddy’s sprawling East Hamptons mansion has been the scene of shockingly wild parties, with famous rappers doing drugs and having group sex. The 4,500-square-foot East Hampton mansion is also where Diddy hosts his annual star-studded White Parties, attended by some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Mariah Carrey and Jay Z.
