As the allegations against Diddy continue to mount up, internet sleuths have not stopped speculating about the relationship between the controversial hip-hop mogul and other popular celebrities such as Meek Mill and Usher.
Last week, in a lengthy 73-page complaint, music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones claimed that he recorded audio and video of Diddy and his staff engaging in “illegal activity.”
But despite all the claims made by “Lil Rod” people on social media decided to focus on claims surrounding Usher and Meek Mill. Although neither artist is named or accused of any crime, redactions in the suit seem to reference two people fitting Usher and Meek Mill’s descriptions.
As a result, the internet has run with it and has used any connection between these artists to make some outlandish claims.
Resurfaced Usher Interview with Howard Stern
Recently, Usher’s 2016 interview with Howard Stern has resurfaced on the internet and has people speculating if the popular R&B singer was trying to give us a peek into Diddy’s lifestyle.
In the interview, where the “Confessions” artist was promoting his role as Sugar Ray Leonard for the movie “Hands of Stone,” he described what it was like to live with the hip-hop mogul in the 90s when he was only a teenager.
He said, “I moved to New York City and I lived with Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs for a year… Do you understand what that’s like?”
“I went there to see the lifestyle, and I saw it. But I don’t know if I could indulge and understand what I was even looking at. It was pretty wild. It was crazy.
He later added, “There were very curious things taking place and I didn’t necessarily understand it.”

When asked if he would ever send his children to Puffy now, Usher quickly said, “Hell no.”
Was Usher Trying to Tell Us Something About Diddy?
There’s truly no way of knowing what Usher was referring to when he described his time living with Diddy as “wild.”
But that won’t stop social media investigators from trying to form their claims out of it.
Until the rape allegations against Puffy completely go away, the internet will continue to look for any piece of info that will give them a small view into his “lifestyle.”
