Diddy joked about inviting Prince William and Harry to his debauched white parties in resurfaced 2011 interview

Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs once had Prince William and Prince Harry on the invite list to his notorious parties in an unearthed interview. 

The disgraced rap mogul, 54, joked about the royals attending his parties in a 2011 appearance on The Graham Norton Show, saying he wanted them to join in when they were ‘young bucks.’ 

He said he hoped to party with the princes when they were ‘young’ and ‘getting in a lot of trouble’, but when asked if he still hoped to invite them, Diddy responded: ‘Not anymore… they’re off the list.’ 

While the remarks drew laughter at the time, the clip has come under renewed scrutiny in the wake of Diddy’s indictment on charges including sex trafficking and racketeering. 

Neither of the princes is ever thought to have attended a Diddy party.

Diddy (right, pictured with the royal princes and Kanye West in 2007 at Wembley) said he hoped to go on a night out with the brothers back when they were ‘young bucks’ 

In his appearance with Graham Norton, Diddy was joined by British comedian Sarah Millican and actor Vince Vaughan, who remarked that he had also partied with Diddy at a bash hosted by David Beckham. 

Asked about his so-called ‘Diddy parties’, the rapper said he hoped to have Prince Harry and Prince William in years before. 

‘Before when they were young bucks growing up and they were getting in a lot of trouble themselves, so, hey, I was like, ‘Why don’t you come hang out with me?’ he said. 

The interview came shortly before William was set to wed Kate Middleton, as Norton joked: ‘Don’t ruin our royal wedding for us.’ 

‘Trust me, they’re off the list.’ 

The show also noted that while the royals were not known to ever attend a ‘Diddy party’, they were pictured enjoying themselves with Diddy and Kanye West at an event in 2007.

Despite Diddy’s remarks on the talk show it is not believed that Prince Harry nor Prince William were ever present at the rapper’s notorious parties 

The clip resurfaced amid growing scrutiny on Diddy’s parties in the wake of his indictment last week in New York. 

The arrest came six months after federal authorities raided Diddy’s mansions in Los Angeles and Miami, where they allegedly found over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant. 

This was allegedly used in Diddy’s ‘freak offs’, where prosecutors claimed he coerced victims into performing marathon sexual sessions with prostitutes. 

Amid claims that Diddy’s A-list friends would attend these parties, the shocking allegations have led to a renewed focus on his interactions with famous figures over the years.  

This included Justin Bieber, who was taken under Diddy’s wing early in his career, but has since been seen in resurfaced footage appearing uncomfortable around the rapper in the years after they met.

A renewed focus on Diddy’s past interactions with stars led some viewers to notice a 2020 clip of Justin Bieber braking down in tears as he spoke of the ‘darkness’ in the music industry 

In the days after Diddy’s arrest, fans of Bieber latched onto a 2020 clip of the star breaking down in tears as he spoke of wanting to protect Billie Eilish from the music industry. 

Bieber, now 30, has been in the industry since he was just 15 and over the years has battled mental health problems in the spotlight. 

Back in 2020, when Bieber was promoting his album Changes and Billie Eilish had exploded on the scene, he reached out to her to offer industry insights and support. 

‘I just want to protect her. I don’t want her to go through anything I went through. I don’t wish that upon anybody,’ Bieber said, fighting back tears. 

Speaking candidly about his broader struggles in the industry during the album promotional tour, Bieber said: ‘It was bad… It was dark.

‘Think about how young I was and so impressionable and you have everybody telling me how awesome I am at all times… I just want people to understand the psychology of why I potentially could have problems in my life.’
