Music fans are sure comedian Katt Williams tried to warn people about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged wild parties amid the music producer’s legal woes.
“I gotta protect my integrity… because if P. Diddy be wanting to party and you gotta tell him no,” he said in January on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, referring to Diddy’s infamous wild parties.

Federal and local authorities raided Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami on Monday to complete a search for a sexual trafficking investigation which is under the control of the Southern District of New York.
News crews captured footage of Homeland Security Investigations teams arriving to one house by boat and also Diddy’s sons Justin, 30, and King Combs, 25, in handcuffs outside his Los Angeles mansion. It is not known why they were detained or if any arrests were made.
The latest run-in with law for Diddy comes after months of lawsuits accusing him of alleged sexual assault, sexual trafficking, abuse and procuring illicit drugs.
Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie, sued him in November, alleging years of sexual abuse where she claimed he forced her to have sex with male sex workers as he filmed them and introduced her to an “ostentatious, fast-paced and drug-fueled lifestyle.” Diddy settled the lawsuit day after it was filed.
Then in December, one of another two women to accuse him of sexual assault hit Diddy with a lawsuit that alleged he trafficked and sexually abused her.
The most recent case against Diddy was filed in February by music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who alleges he was sexually harassed, drugged and threatened by Diddy. Jones also claimed to be trafficked by Diddy, forced to procure sex workers for him and that the music mogul often hosted drug fueled parties where underage girls were allegedly in attendance.
Diddy has long denied all claims against him and Newsweek contacted his representatives by email for comment.
Williams had discussed Diddy’s alleged infamous parties in a now-viral episode of Sharpe’s podcast.
The widely disseminated episode lasted almost three hours, where Williams, 52, discussed everything from his family, career, legal issues, grievances with other comedians, celebrities and this year’s presidential election.
Following the feds raids on Diddy’s homes, Williams’ comments about him were re-shared widely on social media, including X, formerly Twitter.
“I gotta protect my integrity and that virgin hole I was telling you about because P. Diddy be wanting to party and you gotta tell him no,” he said in reference to an early comment he made saying he wanted to “get this far in Hollywood and still have a virgin a****** and never have sucked a penis.”
Williams added of Diddy: “You got to tell him no. I did. I got the receipts for everything I’m telling you.”
The comedian may have also predicted Diddy’s run-in with the feds.
“All of these big d*** deviants is all catching hell in 2024. It’s up for all of them. It doesn’t matter if you Diddy, or whoever you is. All lies will be exposed. In 30 years, I’ve done nothing but collect information, knowledge, and your secrets. I know so many things I shouldn’t know, and they all know it,” Williams said.
People shared the moment to X, with the comedian quickly trending on the platform.
“Katt Williams tried to tell us about Diddy’s parties,” wrote @itsleague on a post which has had over 260,000 views.
Elsewhere @AllYouCanMeme added: “When the truth comes out remember what Katt Williams said on his most recent interview. No diddy.”
And @chockietee commented: “Katt Williams said this in January 2024 & now Diddy’s house has been raided by feds. 2024 is the heat of the reckoning.”
