Diddy is awaiting trial, and rumors about him are still emerging. Several people in the industry have come forward with accusations against the Bad Boy founder. While these claims remain unproven, Diddy faces multiple charges that led to his current situation. Recent footage of him has taken on new meaning due to these allegations. The online community has unearthed videos where Diddy discusses the wild nature of his parties. TMZ found a specific clip where he tells his guests to get "lotioned up" during a gathering at his home in June 2022, believed to have occurred the night after he won the BET Lifetime Achievement Award. In the clip, Diddy grabs the microphone and says the party is about to get even better, advising everyone to freshen their breath and use lotion. He even tells those who are smoking to use mouthwash and encourages women to dance, regardless of their partners' wishes, before the music starts and the video ends.
The context of Diddy's comments has changed given his current charges, but those at the party seem unfazed. Many comments on the TMZ YouTube upload suggest that his remarks are not particularly incriminating. TMZ highlighted the clip due to the serious nature of the accusations against Diddy. A celebrity photographer, Selma Fonseca, recently shared her experiences with the New York Post about the parties she attended with Diddy. Fonseca claimed to have been to 20-30 of his extravagant events since the 1990s, where the food and guests were always top-notch. She recalled one instance when her camera was taken after she photographed Diddy with an unfamiliar woman. Despite this incident, she stated she never witnessed anything related to the charges against him. Fonseca expressed her surprise, noting she had been around Diddy many times, often seeing him at least once a month. Diddy is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
