Nick Cannon reflects on his first Diddy party at 16 as Sean “Diddy” Combs awaits trial

Nick Cannon recently shared a memorable experience from his teenage years, recalling his attendance at one of Sean "Diddy" Combs' iconic parties as the rap mogul awaits trial on serious charges. As Combs sits in prison facing federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges, Cannon reflected on his early experiences during a discussion on The Breakfast Club podcast.

The 44-year-old host recounted how he was just 16 when he tried to gain entry into one of Diddy's celebrated gatherings in New York. Cannon described these parties as legendary events that were known for their star power and vibrant atmosphere. He compared them to the glamorous parties featured in the late Notorious B.I.G.'s music video "One More Chance," highlighting the allure of Combs’ Bad Boy parties during the late '90s.

While Cannon has attended several of Diddy's parties over the years, he emphasized that he has always maintained a sober lifestyle, stating, "I don't drink, I don't do drugs. I've never been drunk in my life." His comments come in light of the serious allegations against Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.

Cannon’s nostalgia for the parties contrasts sharply with the ongoing legal battles faced by Diddy. In the recent indictment, prosecutors allege that Combs orchestrated illicit gatherings, referred to as "Freak Offs," where women and male sex workers were coerced into participating in recorded sexual performances. The trial is set for May 2025, adding further intrigue to the ongoing saga surrounding one of hip-hop’s most prominent figures.
