Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ 2002 Conan appearance raises eyebrows.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is under new scrutiny after a rediscovered interview from 22 years ago on Late Night With Conan O’Brien went viral, following his recent arrest on sex trafficking charges.
The music mogul, who is being detained at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, was denied bail following his detention in New York as part of an ongoing sex trafficking probe.
Combs has been placed on suicide watch since his indictment on sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution.
In light of these discoveries, a 2002 interview with Conan O’Brien has surfaced, in which Combs made unsettling comments about “locking women up” at parties.
While giving party advice, he joked, “This is what you need to do. Women. Beautiful women, of course. Beautiful men for the ladies, of course,” he said, adding that he had “locks on the doors” to keep women from leaving.
The video has subsequently gone viral, generating greater criticism of the disgraced musician amid the current inquiry.
While offering advice, Diddy stated, “A lot of ladies drink water at parties… if you don’t have what they need, they’re gonna leave.”
He said, “Gotta keep them there. “You need door locks.” Conan O’Brien, noticeably concerned, said, “Okay, this is sounding kind of dangerous now.”
He dismissed the remark, joking, “It’s a little kinky,” before proceeding with his advice.
The talk took an even odd turn when he proposed ramping up the heat at parties and avoiding air conditioning.
“Heat affects the alcohol, and you know, everybody also gets a little more comfortable and loose,” he added. He continued, “builds up a nice little sweat.”
O’Brien interjected, “That just sounds disgusting,” before Diddy wrapped up his list with, “You need good music, and you need me, of course.”
