LeBron James says ‘ain’t no party like a Diddy party’ in resurfaced video as rapper faces sex trafficking allegations
LEBRON James has been swept up in the drama surrounding the Sean “Diddy” Combs scandal.
Diddy was arrested this month and charged with a series of cimes that included racketeering and sex trafficing.
Diddy has denied all of the charges, and while he goes through the legal system, fans are sweeping social media to find other celebrities who could have been involved in his “Freak Offs.”
Many celebrities have been called out for past interactions with Combs, and LeBron James is one of the most recent to have old comments resurface.
Video from a livestream four years ago shows LeBron saying “Ain’t no party like a Diddy party.”
While there is no evidence of LeBron having any involvement in Combs’ alleged crimes, some fans have tried to use the video as a way to link the two.
“It’s not looking good for Lebron James after Diddy was arrested,” one fan said.
“I hope this doesn’t affect LeBron James legacy!” another fan said.
“They in the same sick club,” a third fan said.
“Y’all need to leave the glorious King out of this,” a fourth fan said.
Others outside of the NBA fandom are also trying to bury LeBron without any evidence, including conservative commentator Candace Owens.
“Is Lebron James going to weigh in on his friend’s ‘freak offs?'” she wrote.
“I mean we hear from ‘the king’ on virtually every political issue so this seems like an odd one to stay quiet about.”
Outside of a few scattered clips on social media, it is hard to tell what kind of relationship LeBron had with Diddy, if he even had one.
LeBron unfollowed Combs on Instagram in May when the rumors about him started to heat up.
Diddy’s alleged drug mule, Brendan Paul, was arrested in Miami before LeBron unfollowed him, and that came after Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones sued Diddy after claiming he coerced him into soliciting prostitutes and pressuring him into sex.
Paul avoided jail time after accepting a plea deal and entered a drug diversion program.
Diddy’s representatives denied the allegations from Jones in a statement.
“Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday,” the statement said.
“His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines.”
The only real connection between LeBron and Diddy was his son Bryce being seen on vacation with Combs’ daughters around the time he came under pressure from police.
