Usher reveals what he saw at Diddy’s house
In the resurfaced video of the interview, when asked if Diddy’s house was the centre for all the wild parties and non-stop orgies.
The singer said, “Not really… I got a chance to see some things … I don’t know if I could indulge and even understand what I was looking at.”
He added, “It was pretty wild. It was crazy. There were very curious things taking place and I didn’t necessarily understand it,” as reported by Daily Express US.
In 2004, he divulged that Diddy exposed him to “a totally different set of s**t – $3x, specifically,” in a Rolling Stone interview.

He was later charged with $3x trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Usher discusses industry’s ‘steaming underbelly’
Usher described the industry’s steamy underbelly, behind the glamorous glow, as “$3x 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.”
Diddy’s home was raided by Homeland Security who unearthed, arms like AR-15s, a thousand bottles of lubricants and various narcotics.
He was also accused of organising Freak Offs with the help of his staff. Joining a long list of celebrities, Usher has also remained quiet on the proceedings and allegations of the Bad Boy Records’ owner given the two are still very good friends.
