LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers‘ superstar, has avoided off-the-field scandals since his rise to prominence as a youngster, but he may have finally messed up. An old Instagram livestream from 2020 showing James and rapper Sean Combs, also known as ‘P Diddy’, has surfaced on social media. In the film, the four-time MVP praises Diddy’s parties, saying:
“Ay. Everybody knows, ain’t no party like a Diddy party.”

James also brought his kid Bronny to the live webcast, which Diddy organized to raise funds for healthcare workers amid the COVID-19 outbreak. While James’ comment was thought to be benign, it has since resurfaced and gone viral as a result of shocking charges against Diddy.
LeBron had even brought out Bronny James for one of the videos.

While James’ comment was thought to be benign, it has since resurfaced and gone viral as a result of shocking charges against Diddy. In the previous two months, the musician has faced numerous sexual assault cases, as well as allegations of recruiting sex workers and trafficking young females.
In court documents, he is also accused of running a “sex trafficking venture” with the assistance of accomplices and his son, Justin Combs. Homeland Security raided Diddy’s houses in Los Angeles and Miami as part of an investigation into sex trafficking allegations. Diddy also allegedly threw parties with beer bottles filled with date rape pills.
