Suge Knight alleges 'uncomfortable' relationship between Diddy, Snoop Dogg, and Usher

Incarcerated record executive Suge Knight recently commented on Sean “Diddy” Combs’ relationships with rappers Usher and Snoop Dogg, following Combs' recent arrest on sex crime charges. As Combs awaits his trial set for May 5, 2025, Knight claimed in a recent interview that Snoop and Diddy had a “close” yet “uncomfortable” relationship.

Suge Knight shared these remarks in an audio-only interview with Michael Franzese on November 13, where he discussed Diddy’s connections with Justin Bieber, Usher, and other celebrities. Before addressing his perspective on Diddy’s alleged friendship with Bieber, Knight spoke about Combs' and Snoop Dogg’s relationship.

Knight said, “Snoop and Puffy was so close, closer than close, closer than most. They would do things together, and part[y] together, and do things that it was uncomfortable for two men to be that way."

This interview follows Knight’s earlier claims in March, in which he alleged that Diddy, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre were members of a “secret society.” During his appearance on the Collect Call podcast, Knight remarked, “Then Puffy and Snoop became besties. Every time you see one, you see the other one. Next thing you know, they start painting they fingernails. Didn’t make sense.”

In his conversation with Franzese, Knight also claimed that Combs was “f**king Usher.” Speculation about Usher’s relationship with Combs has circulated online since the latter’s arrest, with some suggesting that Usher was exposed to harm through his association with Combs.

At the age of 13, Usher moved to New York City to live with Combs, where he joined Combs' “Puffy Flavor Camp” and was mentored by the producer. As allegations against Combs surfaced, a 2016 The Howard Stern Show interview with Usher resurfaced, drawing attention. 

Reflecting on his time under Combs' mentorship, Usher said, “I got a chance to see some things. I didn’t know if I could indulge and understand what I was even looking at. It was pretty wild.”

As the discussion around Usher and his association with Combs grew, Usher deleted all tweets from his X account. Official sources have not confirmed if this action was related to Combs' ongoing legal issues.

Knight also brought up Combs’ interactions with Justin Bieber, alleging that Combs and his associates “had sex” with Bieber. Knight stated, “This wouldn’t have happened if Justin Bieber came from a wealthy family. Justin Bieber pretty much came from a poor family but the young man was so talented that he could have been bigger than Michael Jackson… no grown man must be doing drugs and drinking with kids.”
