Usher Says He Saw 'Very Curious Things' While Living With Diddy At Age 14

To a teenage Usher, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lifestyle was “pretty wild.”

In a 2016 interview with Howard Stern, the R&B star described what it was like to live with the “Bad Boy for Life” rapper. The interview has recently resurfaced online due to the raids on Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami homes, in the wake of allegations Combs engaged in abuse and sex trafficking.

Usher explained to Stern that when he was 14, famed record executive L.A. Reid sent him to New York City to live with Diddy, then going by Puff Daddy, in the 1990s — an experience both Usher and Stern referred to as “Puffy Flavor Camp.”

“I went there to see the lifestyle — and I saw it,” Usher said, who appeared to be carefully choosing his words.

“But I don’t know if I could indulge and understand what I was even looking at. It was pretty wild,” he added.

When Stern asked if the music producer’s home was “filled with chicks” and “nonstop” orgies, Usher shot that description down, saying, “Nah, not really.”

“But hey — it was curious,” the singer offered.

“There were very curious things taking place, and I didn’t necessarily understand it,” Usher said.

The “U Got it Bad” crooner also recalled that famous artists like Biggie Smalls, Lil’ Kim, Faith Evans and Mary J. Blige used to frequent Combs’ home at the time, but implied they were unaware of any nefarious behavior. “They knew nothing about this shit,” Usher said.

Although Usher didn’t go into any specifics about what he witnessed while living with Combs, he did imply that it wasn’t a great environment for a young teen when Stern asked Usher if he’d have let his own son live with Combs.

“Hell no,” the pop star said.
