A photograph of Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, 49, and rapper Diddy (real name Sean Love Combs), 54, has resurfaced after the rapper was charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. The pair have been friends since the nineties. 

The picture was published by Daily Mail showing the actor laughing and smoking at one of Diddy’s notorious 'White Parties' in 1998 at his East Hampton home.

According to the Mail Online a source close to Leonardo DiCaprio told them: “Leonardo DiCaprio has absolutely nothing to do with any of this. 'He attended a few of his parties back in the early 2000s - but literally everyone did. 

“They were not freak offs. They were big house parties. Leo was at the start of his career at the time and has moved way past his partying.

'He has nothing to do with any of that world, so for anyone to assume that he will get roped into this based on a few grainy photos that are more than 20 years old is ridiculous. Leo is focused on his career and his relationship and is not at all thinking about Diddy's federal case, which he has nothing to do with.”

During Vogue’s ‘73 Questions’ interview in 2018, Diddy was asked who his number one guest on his white party invite list he answered “Leonardo DiCaprio.” Other celebrity names who have attended the parties over the years include Jay-z, Kim Kardashian, JLo, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick.
