While living with Sean “Diddy” Combs, R&b pop star Usher said that he “went there to see the lifestyle — and I saw it.”
After raids on Combs’ homes earlier this month, an interview from 2016 with Usher and Howard Stern on The Howard Stern Show has resurfaced.
In the interview, Usher speaks on the year that he spent living with Combs. He was 13 years old at the time.
Combs was the founder of Bad Boys Records and there have been claims of “very curious things” had happened at his L.A. and Miami residences over the years.
On March 25, law enforcement including Homeland Security and federal agents raided his homes after two lawsuits against him made sex-trafficking allegations.
In 2016, Usher commented on his time with Diddy saying it was “pretty crazy” and that he didn’t, “know if I could indulge and understand what I was even looking at. It was pretty wild.

Following the 2022 Nft boom, Bored Ape Yacht Club was one of the most popular names in the market, at least for a while, before its value eventually tanked. Many Hollywood heavyweights, including Kevin Hart, Justin Bieber, and Madonna, jumped onto the Nft bandwagon following the Nft craze back then.
But following the fluctuations in the Nft market, most NFTs, including Bored Ape by Yuga Labs, witnessed a notable decline in their value, with celebs holding on to it, suffering a major loss. Hart becomes the new Hollywood A-lister to join this list, as he has reportedly incurred a massive loss after selling his Bored Ape Nft.

Giovonnie Samuels, a child actor hired for three seasons of Nickelodeon’s All That in the early 2000s, dreamed of becoming a TV star. As she filmed her intro dance to TLC’s “All That” for the show’s title sequence, those aspirations became real.

On Wednesday night, Peso Pluma headlined a night of music that careened from música mexicana to urbano to Norteño-inflected folk at Rolling Stone’s Future of Music showcase, causing lines around the block. The next evening, the showcase pivoted in another, no less potent, direction, mixing up hip-hop with innovative sounds from Ghana, South Africa, Nigeria, and more.
Preacher, a.k.a. Keite Young, came out and showed he wasn’t messing around. Flanked by a five-piece band and 10-member choir, the singer launched right into a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.

Yara Zaya was just trying to put a smile on her fans’ faces by playing a joke on her husband, Jovi Dufren, but it backfired.
The 90 Day Fiance star proved she has a sense of humor and showed it off on Instagram, but her critics didn’t find it very funny.
Jovi recently returned home from a work trip, and to conjure up some laughs, Yara made a cardboard sign to welcome him back.
Yara filmed herself and her daughter, Mylah, carrying a sign into the airport parking lot for Mylah to hold when Jovi landed.
The sign read, “Welcome home from rehab, Daddy,” and the song Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home) by Usher played in the background.
At the end of the video, Jovi held the sign, expressing disapproval to the camera with his face as he realized he’d been punked.

Ask anyone who has been in the thick of awards season and they’ll likely let out a huge sigh followed by exasperated admission that this has been one of the most hectic runs in recent memory.

That can only mean that champagne is currently popping at A-list bashes across Los Angeles, and The Hollywood Reporter is on the scene everywhere from Vanity Fair and Elton John to MPTF’s Night Before.
