Diddy predicted his arrest in resurfaced 1999 interview: "They’re gonna probably be arresting me"

Diddy predicted it in 1999, 25 years before being charged with sex trafficking and related crimes.

Sean “Diddy” Combs once predicted his own arrest for hosting extravagant parties, in an interview that has resurfaced after his recent indictment.

The rapper-turned-mogul told Entertainment Tonight in 1999, 25 years before being charged with sex trafficking and related crimes, “They won’t even give me a permit for the parties no more. They don’t want me to throw the parties no more, but we ain’t gonna stop. We gonna keep on having fun bringing people together from all walks of life.”

He continued, “You’re gonna hear about my parties. They’re gonna be shutting them down. They’re gonna probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things just ’cause we wanna have a good time.”

Combs argued that whenever people introduce something unfamiliar into a new environment, it often leads to discomfort, “Whenever you bring up a different element into people’s environment, things that broaden people’s horizons, people get intimidated. It’s a lot of people out there that feel intimidated by it.”

He maintained that his parties were meant to promote unity, “breaking down racial barriers” and “breaking down generation barriers.”

Combs noted that interactions like “Ron Perlman talking to Jay-Z” were common at his famous events, but despite the attention his parties received, he didn’t feel “special” or “like a bigger person.”

His gatherings were attended by a wide array of A-list celebrities, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez, Donald Trump, Ashton Kutcher, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, and others. However, there is no evidence to suggest that any of the stars present were involved in any illegal activities at the events.

Combs, now 54, was arrested last week at a New York City hotel and charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation for prostitution.

Although he pleaded not guilty, Combs was denied bail and is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

Federal agents reportedly found more than 1,000 bottles of lubricant, various drugs, and three AR-15s when they raided his Los Angeles and Miami properties in March, according to the indictment.

Prosecutors allege that the Bad Boy Records founder abused, threatened, and coerced individuals to satisfy his desires, maintain his image, and cover up his actions for decades. They claim he created a criminal enterprise that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.

The indictment also alleges that Combs, along with members of his Combs Enterprise, including senior staff, security, household staff, and personal assistants, organized numerous drug-fueled sex parties referred to as "Freak Offs."
