Resurfaced Video Clip Of Diddy Raises Eyebrows
A video of Diddy from seven years ago is circulating online and has set tongues wagging due to the rapper’s remark about his “last words.”
Diddy can be seen in the video seated at a table alongside La La Anthony and singer Usher in 2017, playing a game on Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart’s VH1 show, “Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party.”
The three guests at the show were offered cards with words written on them and blank spaces to fill in answers.
When it was Diddy’s turn, he was handed a card that read, “When I die, I want my last words to be….”
“I did it,” he answered quickly before throwing the card in the air with a smile on his face.

He Has Been Hit With A Barrage Of Lawsuits Since His Arrest
On Monday, September 16, Diddy was arrested in New York after a grand jury indictment. The rapper was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He was detained at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), where he is expected to remain until his trial in May next year. Diddy has tried on two occasions to get bail, but it has been denied because he is considered a “flight risk.”
Since Diddy’s arrest, he has also been faced with a flood of fresh lawsuits from various accusers who claim he drugged and abused them at his various parties, particularly his now-infamous white parties.
Texas lawyer Tony Buzzbee, who represents over 120 Diddy accusers, has filed multiple lawsuits in the last few days, with some of the cases involving minors.
One of the lawsuits was filed by a man who claims to have been 16 when Diddy sexually assaulted him at a white party. In another lawsuit, a woman claims she was only 13 years old when she was raped by Diddy and two other celebrities at a VMAs afterparty.

Diddy’s Lawyers Believe The Lawsuits Will Make It Impossible For Him To Have A Fair Trial
The rapper’s lawyers have called the accusations against him “outrageous and deeply prejudicial,” noting that it could prevent the rapper from getting a fair trial on his federal sex crime charges.
“Counsel for these accusers recently convened a press conference at which he claimed to represent 120 accusers making outrageous and deeply prejudicial allegations, including violent sexual assault and sexual abuse of minors,” they said in a letter to a Manhattan federal court judge, per Variety.
They also claimed it was all a “publicity stunt” because Buzbee garnered the accusers’ attention by posting a broadcast on Instagram with a “1-800” number that reportedly “received 12,000 calls in the first 24 hours.”
The attorneys added, “These swirling allegations have created a hysterical media circus that, if left unchecked, will irreparably deprive Mr. Combs of a fair trial, if they haven’t already.”

The Rapper’s Lawyers Want The Names Of His Accusers
In their letter to the Manhattan federal court judge, Diddy’s lawyers also asked that the names of his accusers in his federal case be known to help him prepare his defense for his trial.
The trial is scheduled to begin in May 2025, pending all pre-trial motions being completed on time.
According to the rapper’s legal team, having the names is important because of how “unique” the case is and how several individuals have chosen to accuse him “due to his celebrity status and wealth.”
They also claimed that the “publicity of his previously settled lawsuit” with his ex-girlfriend Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura and the alleged “grand jury leaks and false, inflammatory statements by the DHS agents” played a part in the influx of allegations against the rapper.
