In a resurfaced interview, rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs discussed his desire to invite Prince William and Prince Harry to his parties when they were younger. The clip, originally aired 13 years ago on the Graham Norton Show, gained renewed attention following recent allegations of sex trafficking against the music mogul.
During the interview, Diddy recounted how he wanted to spend time with the young princes, who he described as “getting in trouble by themselves.” When Norton asked if he still wanted to invite them, Diddy humorously replied, “Not anymore,” prompting laughter from the audience. He explained, “Trust me, they are off the list. But before, when they were young bucks growing up, they were getting in a lot of trouble themselves. So I said, hey, why don’t you come hang out with me?”
Photos from the segment showed a young Prince William shaking hands with Diddy and Prince Harry laughing alongside the rapper and musician Kanye West.
In addition to his comments about the princes, Diddy expressed a desire to meet Queen Elizabeth II, stating, “I’d like to meet her. She doesn’t have to hang out with me but I could go over for some tea or something.” He humorously noted that he had hired a butler after being inspired by movies depicting British culture.
Currently, Diddy is embroiled in serious legal troubles as he faces allegations of sex abuse and sex trafficking in a high-profile investigation launched by the US government. Multiple employees and attendees from his extravagant parties have come forward with claims that he coerced women into performing sexual acts after spiking their drinks and pressuring them to use drugs. Diddy is presently in jail awaiting trial.
