Rapper P. Diddy is said to have drugged and abused women at his infamous parties. Professional soccer player Wayne Rooney also wanted to come to one of these parties.
Rape, forced labor, human trafficking, drug offenses: The allegations against US rapper Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy, are serious. The 54-year-old was arrested in mid-September and has been in custody in a New York prison ever since. More and more alleged victims are coming forward and accusing Combs of heinous crimes. The musician denies all allegations and pleads not guilty.
With today’s knowledge, a performance by P. Diddy from 2006 now appears in a completely different light. In May 2006, a few weeks before the start of the World Cup in Germany, David Beckham and his wife Victoria held a fundraising gala at their country estate in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire. The event was intended to raise money for sick children. The Beckhams invited around 500 prominent guests: singer Robbie Williams, model Elle Macpherson, Princess Beatrice, numerous footballers – and rapper P. Diddy.
P. Diddy promised “non-stop partying with lots of sexy women”
Video recordings that are now circulating again on social media show the singer storming the stage. “I don’t want to interrupt you, but I’m in a giving mood […] and I would like to auction something. Since I don’t spend much time here and don’t really know the audience, if you win you can choose one or the other,” says Diddy, pushing a visibly stunned David Beckham aside. Then the musician makes his offer: “Option A is a weekend at my home in the Hamptons, fully staffed, waterfront, East Hampton, New York. Number two is a studio session with me in New York or London. I’m going to produce a record for you and your children. Or number three is an evening with Diddy, Saturday night in New York. And I promise you, your ass will wake up and lay next to me on Wednesday.”
According to statements from several alleged victims, numerous crimes are said to have occurred in the studio of the record company Bad Boy Records in New York. P. Diddy drugged women there, raped them and even sexually assaulted minors, according to the allegations. It was probably similar at his infamous parties, where he is said to have forced women to take part in drug-fueled orgies under the threat of violence.
At Diddy’s auction in 2006, the starting bid was £25,000. In the end, professional footballer Wayne Rooney was awarded the contract – for 150,000 pounds. He chose option three, the party with P. Diddy in New York, and asked to bring a friend. The rapper replied: “You can bring the whole football team. It’ll be a non-stop party with lots of sexy women.”
Rooney, then just 20 years old and a player at Manchester United, seemed a little unnerved by the prospect. His partner Coleen Rooney, who was sitting next to him, was also embarrassed. In 2011, P. Diddy revealed during an appearance on the that Rooney wanted to come to New York with his teammate Rio Ferdinand but never showed up. “Their wives didn’t allow them to come,” said the musician. Looking back, it was a good decision for Rooney and Ferdinand.
