Sean 'Diddy' Combs jokes about locking women up at parties in resurfaced Conan O'Brien interview... after sex trafficking arrest

Sean ' Diddy ' Combs was seen making a joke about locking women up at parties in a resurfaced Conan O'Brien interview that took place 22 years earlier.

The disgraced music artist, 54, was arrested on Monday in New York amid a sex trafficking probe and is currently being held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.

The star - who was denied bail by a judge - was recently placed on suicide watch following his indictment for sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.

A 2002 interview of Diddy on Late Night With Conan O'Brien has now resurfaced and gone viral as he made comments about having 'locks on the doors' to prevent women from leaving parties.

While giving tips on how to put on a 'killer party,' Combs said, 'This is what you need to do. Women. Beautiful women, of course. Beautiful men for the ladies, of course.'

He continued to give a checklist to throw a bash, such as needing 'alcohols' and 'some water.'

When Conan questioned why water was on the list, Diddy said, 'I don't know if guys have noticed this, like, a lot of ladies drink water at parties. They just, you know, so if you don't have what they need, they're gonna leave.'

'Gotta keep them there,' he continued. 'You need locks on the doors.'

Upon hearing the comment, O'Brien paused and then responded with, 'Okay, this is sounding kind of dangerous now.'

Diddy said, 'It's a little kinky,' and then jumped back into giving his tips to Conan and the live audience.

'You need a lot of heat. Don't have no air conditioning. Heat affects the alcohol and you know, everybody also gets a little more comfortable and loose and builds up a nice little sweat.'

Conan cut in to offer his thoughts on the advice and expressed to Diddy, 'That just sounds disgusting.'

To finish off his list, Sean said that 'you need good music' and 'you need me, of course.'

Towards the end of the interview, O'Brien asked about any celebrities that have 'crashed' one of Diddy's parties.

Diddy then recalled a 2002 birthday bash that was held at Cipriani in New York City, and listed a few stars that had stopped by, such as Magic Johnson, Naomi Campbell and Martha Stewart.

He also stated that Henry Winkler - who is known for starring in Happy Days - snuck into the party.

Other resurfaced clips of Combs have gone viral since his arrest that took place earlier this week on Monday.

One video - which was filmed in 2022 - showed Diddy and his mother, Janice, kissing on the lips.

The pair could be seen sitting outside while hooked up to IVs, and at one point, locked lips. He then talked about wanting to start a dating show centered around his mother and also said he takes her to strip clubs.

Another video on X resurfaced which had documented Combs as he spent 48 hours with a then 15-year-old Justin Bieber.

'He's having 48 hours with Diddy, where we hanging out and what we're doing we can't really disclose,' the rapper said of Bieber at one point.

Diddy continued, 'I have been given custody of him. He's signed to Usher and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he did his first album.'

'I don't have legal guardianship of him [Bieber] but for the next 48 hours he's with me and we're gonna go full crazy.'

Social media users were quick to jump the comments to share their thoughts, with some labeling the reel as 'creepy' and one saying Justin looked 'uncomfortable.'

Another past clip resurfaced to show Jennifer Lopez's mother having a furious reaction to the possibility of her daughter rekindling a romance with Diddy.

It comes as Diddy requested to toss out a sexual assault lawsuit due to the statute of limitations running out, TMZ reported on Friday.

In May, model Crystal McKinney filed a lawsuit against the rapper, claiming he sexually assaulted her.

She alleged the assault took place in 2003, but Diddy's lawyers said in a letter her claims expired in 2010 due to the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law.

The rapper's lawyers further claim that the star's companies, including Bad Boy Entertainment, cannot be sued because they did not have involvement in the alleged incident.

In her lawsuit, McKinney claimed that Diddy drugged and sexually assaulted her in 2003 after they met during a Men's Fashion Week event at Cipriani Downtown in NYC.

After meeting the music artist, she claimed he invited her to his studio and claimed she was given a joint that was possibly laced with another drug. She was then forced to perform oral sex on Combs inside a bathroom.

Earlier this week on Monday, Diddy was arrested and was soon denied bail by a judge after he used both his and his mother's homes in Miami - worth $50 million - as collateral.

And on Wednesday, he lost an appeal to overturn the decision and will remain in custody while pending trial.

In the indictment against Diddy that was unsealed this week, it was claimed that federal raids on his Miami and Los Angeles mansions led to the discovery of over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.

It is alleged that the rapper would coerce and manipulate victims into taking part in days-long sexual performances, which he dubbed 'freak offs.'

Diddy's associates would allegedly ply victims with drugs to keep them compliant and would make threats against anyone refusing to engage, in claims similar to those made in a civil lawsuit brought by Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie last year.

These allegations were central to prosecutors bringing sex trafficking charges against the producer, with observers noting that authorities are increasingly expanding the law to suit their cases against powerful defendants.

A step up in federal sex trafficking charges was passed by Congress in 2000 as an intentional step to take down prostitution rings and pimps, but the evolving nature of the charge has seen it more recently used to snare individuals like Keith Raniere.

Notably, Diddy has hired the same attorney, Marc Agnifilo, who has previously challenged the government's expanding use of federal sex trafficking charges in Raniere's 2019 trial that led to a 120-year sentence.

Raniere was the leader of the NXIVM cult, a self-help pyramid scheme that acted as a front for his various crimes, including sexual assault, sex trafficking, child pornography and forced labor.

At his trial, the cult leader's legal team attempted to argue that federal sex trafficking charges were overstretched to fit his case - the same argument Mr. Agifilo made at Diddy's bail hearing this week.

He claimed that the alleged 'freak offs' were merely the way Diddy was 'intimate' with people, and accused prosecutors of overstepping and 'coming into this man's bedroom.'

'Is it sex trafficking? No, not if everybody wants to be there,' Agnifilo said at the hearing.

New York prosecutors aiming to take down Diddy are using a similar playbook to one used to imprison other high-profile sex abusers including R. Kelly and Raniere.

Diddy was indicted Tuesday on a slew of crimes including sex trafficking and racketeering, the same charges that put R. Kelly and Raniere - the leader of the NXIVM cult - behind bars.

In particular, racketeering charges are noted by the New York Times as useful against powerful defendants, as they allow prosecutors to build a case around an 'enterprise' of accomplices dating back many years.

The federal charges can allow prosecutors to go after crimes dating beyond the state's statute of limitations, with Diddy facing alleged crimes going back as far as 2008 including kidnapping, arson, bribery and narcotics distribution.

After Diddy's arrest, he was taken to Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center and has also been placed on suicide watch.

Sources informed DailyMail.com that the detention center is 'standard for high-profile individuals.'

It also comes after a resurfaced clip showed porn star, Jonathan Oddi, claiming in 2018 that he had been Diddy's sex slave - and alleged he had sex with the rapper and his ex, Cassie.
