Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the music mogul known for his extravagant parties, made headlines recently when it was revealed that he had stopped inviting Princes William and Harry to his notorious “freak off” bashes. The reason? Diddy felt that the royal brothers were no longer the “young bucks” they once were.
According to The King author Christopher Andersen, Diddy initially tried to lure the young princes to his wild parties during their party animal days. Back then, William and Harry were regulars on the London club scene, making headlines with their antics. However, as they settled down and William got engaged to Kate Middleton in 2010, Diddy realized that the royal brothers were no longer the party animals they once were.
During a 2011 interview, Diddy revealed that he had invited William and Harry to his parties, but their wise decision to decline the invitations led him to stop inviting them altogether. Comedian Graham Norton even joked with Diddy about not ruining the royal wedding by inviting the princes.
It is believed that Diddy first met the princes when he performed at a benefit concert in honor of Princess Diana in 2007. Over the years, Diddy’s parties attracted a slew of A-listers, but in light of his sex abuse allegations, many celebrities have distanced themselves from him. Former close friends like Leonardo DiCaprio and Ashton Kutcher have cut ties with Diddy.
Recently, Diddy was arrested and charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. A raid of his homes uncovered evidence allegedly used during his wild parties. Despite denying any wrongdoing, Diddy is facing the prospect of more charges as additional alleged victims come forward.
In conclusion, Diddy’s decision to stop inviting Princes William and Harry to his parties reflects a shift in their lifestyles as they matured and settled down. The entertainment industry continues to grapple with the fallout from Diddy’s legal troubles, and his once-glamorous parties are now tarnished by scandal.
