Celebrities have spoken out about Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The hip hop mogul was arrested on Monday, September 16 and charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Diddy denied bail twice and pleaded not guilty. An unsealed indictment accused Diddy of running an “enterprise that he engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor or, kidnapping, arson and other crimes.”
The arrest was made following the Homeland Security’s raids on his homes in Beverly Hills and Miami in March. The sexual lawsuits that were filed against him preceded the raids; the first one was filed in November 2023 by his ex-girlfriend Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura.
Videos and pictures of the hip hop mogul surfaced of him speaking about his “freak off” parties. Many of the videos and pictures also showed celebrities who have attended his parties. Many have tried to warn the public about Diddy’s behavior. Here is a list of six celebrities who have spoken out since his arrest.
Aubrey O’Day

Aubrey O’Day has been one of the most vocal celebrities before and after Diddy’s arrest. The Danity Kane singer, a band formed by Diddy on Making the Band, reacted to the news right after the new broke.
She wrote on her Instagram Story: “The purpose of justice is to provide an ending and allow us the space to create a new chapter. Women never get this. I feel validated. Today is a win for women all over the world, not just for me. Things are finally changing.”
The singer also appeared on a documentary, TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy, where she talked about the hip hop mogul
She said: “I knew all of that was going on,” she said, “I’ve known the whole time…a whole lot of people do.”
Dawn Richard
Dawn is another member of Danity Kane. She recently filed a lawsuit against the hip hop mogul and claimed he called female contestants “fat,” “ugly,” “b——” and “h—” on the show. She alleged that he would force her to rehearse 48 hours at a time without sleep and how it reportedly ended up making her lose a significant amount of weight. She claimed once burst in her dressing room at his recording studio while she was naked and allegedly inappropriately touched her breasts and butt and more.
Since the arrest, Dawn’s attorney Lisa Bloom sent a statement to US Weekly stating: “We applaud the grand jury’s new indictment of Sean Combs, which is strikingly similar to the federal complaint we filed last week on behalf of our brave client, Dawn Richard. Given the brutal beating of Sean Combs’ girlfriend caught on video and the eight people who have now accused him of abuse in court filings, including Dawn, this arrest seems long overdue.”
50 Cent

50 Cent has been quite vocal on his feelings against Diddy. The rapper and actor started trolling Diddy after his home was raided and was waiting patiently, like many, for what was to to come.
50 Cent had no problem throwing some shade against the hip hop mogul once he was arrested. The rapper posted a picture of Drew Barrymore hugging his arm and wrote: “Here I am keeping good company with @DrewBarrymoreTVand I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house.”
The lube comment comes after Homeland Security found “more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant” from Diddy’s properties during a raid.
Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, recently shared a statement with the New York Post stating: “I don’t think it was 1,000. I think it was a lot. I mean, there is a Costco right down the street. I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know. And you know these are consensual adults doing what consensual adults do, you know, we can’t get so puritanical in this country to think that somehow sex is a bad thing because if it was there would be no more people.”
