Usher revealed that he encountered some ‘pretty outrageous’ experiences during his time residing at rapper Diddy’s (born Sean Love Combs) New York mansion when he was just 14 years old. After Homeland Security agents conducted raids on the music mogul’s Holmby Hills and Miami residences as part of an ongoing trafficking investigation this week, social media users rediscovered a 2016 interview where Usher discussed his time living with the superstar, who was 54 years old at the time, in the spring of 1994.
During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, the Yeah! hitmaker, who was 45 at the time of the interview, claimed that it was LA Reid’s idea for him to live with the R&B singer in Scarsdale to ‘see the lifestyle.’ When Stern inquired if Diddy’s residence was ‘filled with chicks and orgying nonstop,’ Usher responded, ‘Not really… I got a chance to see some things … I don’t know if I could indulge and even understand what I was looking at.’
Diddy was reportedly questioned by Customs agents at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport – about 15 miles south of the investigation at his home – at around 6pm local time.
Combs was seen by witnesses with his entourage walking around the Customs office at the Miami airport but was not detained or taken into custody. At least two properties belonging to Combs in Los Angeles and Miami were searched Monday by federal Homeland Security Investigations agents and other law enforcement.
