Diddy’s interview with Wendy Williams resurfaces where host acts cautiously when disgraced mogul said he met son backstage: ‘That was a threat’

An interview with Diddy on The Wendy Williams Show resurfaced years after the disgraced mogul was arrested on sex trafficking charges.

The 2017 clip showed the awkward moment when the controversial rapper and Williams chatted about their son Kevin Hunt Jr., who was 16 at the time.

While Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was talking about his then-new film ‘Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop,’ he explained to Williams that he didn’t release it for money, but to share a story ‘that had a happy ending.’ final’ for African American men and women.

The crowd erupted in applause when Williams, now 60, referred to his son Kevin Hunt Jr., now 24, just before Diddy admitted to meeting the teenager backstage before the interview.

“And let me tell you something, as a mother of a boy who is now 16 years old…” Williams said when Diddy interrupted her and said, “Mhm, who I met backstage, he’s a great young man.”

Williams quickly thanked her for the compliment before appearing to zone out and stutter her words as Diddy stared at her.

‘You represent a lot to many people in general. I mean, you’re an example for non-black people, like ‘Yes we can, yes we can,’ you’re an example for kids, like your kids, my kids, your kids, kids in general,” Williams said.

Commenters quickly flocked to the old clip and noted how cagey Williams was when Diddy mentioned her son.

“That was a threat, he’s saying to be nice,” one wrote.

Another said: ‘The way she hesitated you know she knew about him!’

“It seems like your mind is racing through all the different horrible things that could have happened backstage…” one person said.

“The way she wanted to say ‘stay away from my son,'” another added.

Another user said: ‘I can hear her internally screaming!’

Combs, 54, who was denied bail by a judge, was indicted on charges of sex trafficking, extortion and transportation into prostitution earlier this month in New York City.

It’s a shocking fall for the ‘It’s All About the Benjamins’ rapper, who was once hip-hop’s richest and most influential mogul.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, revealing what federal agents found during the March raid on Diddy’s Miami residence, showed charts showing confiscated unmarked AR-15s, ammunition, as well as 1,000 bottles of baby oil and other lubricants.

“The indictment alleges that, from at least 2008 to the present, Combs abused, threatened and coerced victims into satisfying his sexual desires, protecting his reputation and concealing his conduct,” Williams said.

‘The indictment alleges that Combs used and exploited women and others for years, and in a variety of ways. As alleged, Combs used force, threats of force, and coercion to cause victims to engage in prolonged sexual performances with male sex workers, some of whom were transported, or caused to be transported, across state lines.

They also revealed that evidence of Combs’ long-rumored sex parties, which he referred to as “freak offs,” had been gathered during raids on his homes in Los Angeles and Miami, and was They found “electronic devices containing images and videos of the freak offs.” Offs, with multiple victims.

Diddy liked to plan and control ‘sexual performances,’ the feds alleged, which sometimes lasted ‘days in a row’ and involved sex workers and a variety of narcotics such as ketamine, ecstasy and GHB, ‘which Combs distributed to the public.’ . victims to keep them obedient and docile.’

This isn’t the first time Williams has been mentioned amid the Diddy scandal, as fans quickly realized that the former talk show host had been warning the world about his alleged crimes for years.

She began trending on X when fans began mourning the loss of her Hot Topics segment, in which she broke down the latest Hollywood news on The Wendy Williams Show.

Williams had criticized Diddy during her career as a radio and television host, with fans arguing that she had been one of the few stars to call out his alleged antics “for decades.”

“Wendy Williams told us decades ago about Diddy,” wrote one X user. “The streets have been talking for a long time.”

Another agreed: “Wendy Williams has been telling everyone about Diddy for years.”

Diddy’s legal team offered a $50 million package to secure his release from jail, including the rap mogul’s $48 million Miami mansion as collateral.

It also included Diddy’s mother’s house, valued at $2 million.

Since his arrest, the disgraced artist has been the subject of two new lawsuits, as a woman, Thalia Graves, alleges that he raped her and recorded the assault.

Graves says the music mogul and his security chief Joseph Sherman raped her at Bad Boys Records studios in New York in 2001.

Graves claims she was 25 and dating one of the rapper’s employees when she was lured into a meeting by Diddy, who said he wanted to “discuss her boyfriend’s alleged performance issues.”

In the lawsuit, obtained by DailyMail.com, Richard claims Combs “manipulated” her with promises to help her in her music career.

Another lawsuit, filed just a few days ago, claims a woman claims Didy abused her for years and that he got her pregnant.

The lawsuit, filed under the name Jane Doe, was first reported by TMZ.

Jane Doe claims the rapper drugged and assaulted her for four years, and that she became pregnant during one of the encounters before suffering a miscarriage.

The alleged victim says she met Diddy in 2020, when she was invited to accompany him on an all-expenses paid trip.
