Usher lived with P Diddy when he was 13 and witnessed “orgies,” but “didn’t understand.” Diddy was arrested for trafficking, racketeering and transportation for prostitution on September 16
At the age of 13, Usher found himself in the “wild” world of P Diddy, who was just stepping into his early 20s.
Their paths crossed after Usher inked a deal with LA Reid and reportedly got sent to bunk with Sean “Diddy” Combs in the Big Apple. A throwback 2004 interview has resurfaced, revealing Usher’s take on the “crazy” sights he witnessed while shacking up with the hip-hop mogul.
Usher spilled the beans that Diddy was the one who ushered him into “a totally different set of s***,” with a pointed focus on “sex.” He divulged: “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.”
Fast forward to 2016, and Usher revisited those days on The Howard Stern Show, labeling the experiences as “pretty wild” and confessing to seeing “curious things” back in the 90s.

“I went there to see the lifestyle and I saw it, but I don’t know if I could indulge and understand what I was even looking at. It was pretty wild, it was crazy. There were very curious things taking place and I didn’t necessarily understand it,” reports the Daily Star.
The chart-topping U Got It Bad artist also made it clear that his own kids wouldn’t follow in his footsteps. When Howard Stern probed, “You’re a dad now. Would you ever send your kid to Puffy camp?” Usher’s response was unequivocal: “Hell no.”
The shocking news emerged after Diddy’s recent arrest. On September 16, the I’ll Be Missing You star was taken into custody by police and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. Diddy has “categorically denied” all allegations against him. The rapper was initially placed on suicide watch but has since been removed from it.
Reports suggest that Diddy is “focused and very strong” as he “prepares his defense” for his impending trial.
After Diddy’s arrest, attorney Tony Buzbee said 120 people are planning to sue Diddy and that the individuals involved allege that the Bad Boy Records CEO exploited them and sexually abused them. The youngest accuser was aged just nine-years-old at the time of the alleged offense.
