Nick Cannon just dropped a bombshell about his teenage years during his appearance on “The Breakfast Club” this Friday. The “Masked Singer” host, 44, revealed that he started partying at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legendary New York ragers when he was only 16 years old.
“I live my truth. I remember standing outside, you know, trying to get into a Puff party out here in New York,” Cannon shared with hosts Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy, and Jess Hilarious. He also added that the vibe at these parties was exactly like what you saw in the iconic “One More Chance” music video by Notorious B.I.G., describing them as the real deal.
“Bad Boy parties were official in New York in the late ‘90s,” the “Drumline” star reminisced.
But Cannon didn’t shy away from clarifying that although he attended these famous parties, he wasn’t involved in Combs’ more notorious “freak offs.” Instead, he humorously recalled Harlem shaking and enjoying himself as a young entertainer in the New York scene. Surprisingly, Cannon also revealed that despite attending these wild events, he has never been drunk in his life.
“I was in there Harlem shaking, doing all of that stuff,” he said with a laugh, making it clear that he’s got nothing to hide about his early party days.
This candid revelation comes at a time when Diddy is facing multiple sexual assault lawsuits. While Cannon didn’t comment on the current allegations, his statement about being at these parties sparked further curiosity. Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee, overseeing over 100 sexual assault lawsuits against Combs, recently stated that many high-profile names could be connected to these cases. He even hinted that some celebrities might be paying off victims to avoid being named in the lawsuits.
Combs, who was arrested last month and is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, NY, without bail, has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and other related crimes. A trial is set for May 5, 2025, where Diddy plans to prove his innocence.
As for Cannon, his story adds another layer of intrigue to the ongoing drama surrounding Diddy’s past.
