Sean “Diddy” Combs knew how to get the party started, according to Ellen DeGeneres.
In a clip from her eponymous talk show that’s resurfaced amid the rapper’s sex trafficking arrest, the comedian once spoke about how the “party really starts” when the Bad Boy Records founder arrives.
At the time, Combs had arrived late to the set of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in 2018. DeGeneres asked her guest if that behavior would happen at an upcoming party she was throwing.
“Are you gonna be early for my party?” she asked.
“Yes, I am — no,” the “Act Bad” rapper, 54, admitted. “You know I have to arrive fashionably late.”
DeGeneres, 66, then begged Combs not to come to the festivities “too late.”
“What time would you like me there?” the dad of seven asked the talk show host.
“I’ll tell you later,” she replied. “But not too late. ‘Cause, you know, once you get there the party really starts.”
Combs told DeGeneres, “I got you. I promise you I’m not gonna let you down on this big one, for real.”
