Nick Cannon recently opened up about his youthful escapades with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, recalling his experiences at Diddy’s extravagant parties when he was only 16. During an appearance on “The Breakfast Club,” Cannon, who is now 44, reminisced about trying to gain entry to those wild New York gatherings, marking a significant chapter in his early years.
“I live my truth. I remember standing outside, wanting to get into a Puff party here in New York,” Cannon shared, highlighting the iconic atmosphere similar to that portrayed in the “One More Chance” music video.
Cannon is clear about his thrilling experiences but insists they weren’t the infamous “freak offs.” With a laugh, he said, “I was in there Harlem shaking, doing all of that stuff,” while also asserting that he has never consumed alcohol. “I ain’t got nothing to hide,” Cannon added, affirming his openness about attending these high-profile parties.
As he reflected on these legendary gatherings, Cannon underscored the status of Bad Boy parties in late ‘90s New York as essential events. He also brought attention to the serious legal troubles currently surrounding Combs, who is facing multiple charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.
Combs has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn without bail after his arrest last month. His legal team maintains his innocence, vowing to clear his name when the trial commences in May 2025.
Cannon’s revelations arrive amid heightened scrutiny of Combs, particularly in light of the ongoing sexual assault lawsuits against the music mogul. An attorney involved with the cases claims numerous high-profile individuals could be implicated, suggesting the legal battle is far from over.
In this ongoing narrative, Cannon exemplifies a contrasting picture to the serious allegations against Combs, reiterating his insouciance towards his youthful antics at the parties while navigating the current tumultuous landscape surrounding his former mentor.
