Usher saw ‘very curious things taking place’ when he lived with Diddy aged just 14 ( video)
Usher got candid about living with Sean “Diddy” Combs when he was a teenager in a resurfaced video following the producer’s homes being raided.
During a 2016 appearance on “The Howard Stern Show,” the singer claimed that the former CEO of Epic Records, L.A. Reids, suggested living in Combs’ New York City home for a year to “see the lifestyle” of a musician.
“In the ’90s, do you understand what that’s like?” he said, referring to living that lifestyle at just 13 or 14.

Speculating, the media personality responded, “Puffy’s place was just filled with chicks and orgying nonstop, right?”
Usher, now 45, quickly shut down the accusation, saying, “Not really — but it was curious. I got a chance to see some things.”
“I went there to see the lifestyle — and I saw it,” the “Yeah!” hitmaker continued. “But I don’t know if I could indulge and even understand what I was looking at.”

“It was pretty wild. It was crazy,” Usher continued. “There were very curious things taking place and I didn’t necessarily understand it.”
When Stern asked him if he would allow his own kids to go to “Puffy Flavor Camp,” he immediately responded with a “Hell no.”

The resurfaced video comes after Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami homes were raided Monday afternoon amid an ongoing 𝓈ℯ𝓍 trafficking investigation.
Footage from the “I’ll Be Missing You” hitmaker’s Holmby Hills, Calif. home showed Homeland Security agents descended on the property with guns.
Combs’ sons Justin, 30, and Christian, 25, were even seen handcuffed while questioned by officers. They later fled their father’s $40 million mansion.

Meanwhile, the producer, 54, was spotted outside the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport hours after the raid occurred.
While he wasn’t handcuffed, eyewitnesses told TMZ that he and others were stopped by the feds while allegedly on a private jet.
Combs’ private jet — known as LoveAir LLC — later landed in the Caribbean Monday afternoon, though he wasn’t on it.
Sources close to the matter told Page Six the father of seven was heading to the Bahamas to take his twin daughter, 17, on vacation for their spring break.
Combs’ latest trouble with the law comes amid a slew of lawsuits from men and women alleging 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual abuse.
His ex-girlfriend Cassie was the first victim to file a lawsuit in November 2023, claiming he raped and abused her. The “Coming Home” rapper and his ex settled the lawsuit the next day.

Since then, Combs has been slapped with additional lawsuits with one woman alleging she was “gang raped” by the hitmaker when she was 17 years old.
The most recent lawsuit was filed in February by videographer and producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who alleged he was 𝓈ℯ𝓍ually abused by the rapper for nearly a year while working on his “The Love Album: Off the Grid” album.
Diddy has vehemently denied all the accusations.
