Usher deletes Twitter history amid Diddy allegations and resurfaced video of teen experience with rapper

In a viral clip from a 2016 interview on The Howard Stern Show, Usher recounts "very curious things" he witnessed while staying with Diddy back in 1994, when he was just 14 years old. The arrangement, reportedly suggested by music executive LA Reid, was meant to give Usher a taste of the high life as he navigated his early career.

During the interview, Stern asked Usher whether Diddy's home was notorious for wild parties and orgies. 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," as reported by Express US.

He added, "It was pretty wild. It was crazy. There were very curious things taking place and I didn’t necessarily understand it." These revelations echo Usher’s 2004 Rolling Stone interview, where he reflected on how Diddy introduced him to "a totally different set of s--t - sex, specifically."

Describing the hypersexualised atmosphere of the music industry, Usher recalled: "Sex is so hot in the industry, man. There was always girls around. You'd open a door and see somebody doing it, or several people in a room having an orgy. You never knew what was going to happen."

Diddy, 54, currently faces intense scrutiny following multiple sexual assault lawsuits filed against him in 2023, just before the expiration of the Adult Survivors Act and Homeland Security reportedly raids Diddy's properties over sex trafficking claims.

The rapper and businessman was arrested on Monday, September 16 in Manhattan, New York. His charges were announced after his federal indictment was unsealed, revealing that Combs had been charged with counts of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Despite his team offering a huge $50m bond, he was denied bail and has since been in custody at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre, where he awaits trial. However, an insider to the case has told PEOPLE Magazine that Combs is now reportedly under close observation over fears he may commit suicide.
