Tanzanian artist Diamond Platnumz trends after video discussing attendance at P Diddy party surfaces.
He shares experience of meeting Diddy at BET Awards in resurfaced video, mentioning Diddy’s interest in Tanzanian music and hinting at undisclosed party activities.
“We went to Diddy’s house at night. We went there and stayed there. There are things we did, and they said some things that happened were not to get posted since it hides what is happening.
We did so many things with so many people. It was after the BET Awards. He followed me even before I travelled to the US,” Diamond said.
The musician’s video that has since surfaced discussing the party coincides with Diddy’s arrest.
Diddy is being sued in several civil cases, including ones involving allegations of sexual assault and abuse.
The March raids on the Hip Hop mogul’s properties in Miami and Los Angeles resulted in his arrest.
Who is P Diddy, anyway?
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, 54, is a US music mogul and influential hip hop producer who first gained fame in the 90s.
Combs, also known as Puff Daddy, P. Diddy and Diddy, made his name by being the manager and producer of rapper Notorious B.I.G (Biggie Smalls). He’s a three-time Grammy Award-winner who has worked with a long list of big names, including Mariah Carey, Mary J Blige, Usher and Faith Evans.
His debut album, No Way Out, sold seven million copies worldwide and featured ‘I’ll Be Missing You’, a tribute he wrote after Biggie’s death in 1997.
He’s also dabbled in fashion, launched a TV channel and partnered with a major drinks company.
What charges is he facing?
Last week Combs was arrested in a Manhattan hotel and taken into custody. He was charged with three counts of sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution and racketeering.
Reuters reported that prosecutors accused Combs of running a criminal enterprise to facilitate his exploitation of women, dating back at least 16 years.
According to the 14-page federal criminal indictment of Combs, the rapper was responsible for coordinating days-long sexual parties – know to the people involved in them as “freak offs”.
While Combs’ defence lawyers tried to have him released on a US$50 million bond, prosecutors told the judge that Combs was “extremely dangerous to the community”.
He remains in custody pending trial.
