In a surprising development, a 2002 interview of Sean “Diddy” Combs has resurfaced after his recent arrest on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. The video shows the music mogul making unsettling jokes about locking women inside parties, a remark that has taken on new significance in light of the serious allegations against him.
The interview, which was with Conan O’Brien, has raised concerns as prosecutors accuse Combs of leading a criminal organization involved in sex trafficking, forced labor, and other criminal activities.
In the interview, Diddy was asked about the key ingredients for throwing a great party. He mentioned the presence of “beautiful women” and made sure to include “beautiful men” for the women attending.
What caught people’s attention, however, was his comment about needing locks on the doors to keep women from leaving parties. He remarked, “You got to keep them there,” and laughed as he called it “a little kinky.” His suggestion to turn off the air conditioning to make people feel “comfortable and loose” also stood out in the context of recent allegations.

The resurfaced interview comes at a time when Combs is facing charges that could land him in prison for a minimum of 15 years. Prosecutors have accused the rapper of coercing women into fulfilling his personal desires, manipulating them through threats and abuse.

These accusations, spanning over several years, have painted a disturbing picture of someone who allegedly exploited his power and influence to maintain control.
Combs has pleaded not guilty, and his defense team insists that he is ready to fight the charges and prove his innocence. However, the court has denied bail, and Combs will remain in custody while awaiting trial.
Since his arrest, Combs has been placed on suicide watch due to concerns about his mental state, as authorities take precautionary measures. His arrest has also prevented him from contacting his seven children, adding to the distress faced by his family.
Reports indicate that Combs is desperate to speak with his children, but he remains isolated, which has been difficult for both him and his loved ones. His family is reportedly leaning on each other for support, and they are turning to faith to navigate this challenging time.
While Combs’ legal team works to clear his name, the resurfaced 2002 interview has added a layer of discomfort to the case. What once seemed like a lighthearted conversation now appears far more troubling, given the nature of the charges against him.
The public is closely following the case, and it remains to be seen how the legal proceedings will unfold as more details emerge.
