Travis Barker's son, Landon Barker, has broken his silence on the 'Diddy themed party' he attended.
The musician, 21, took to TikTok to set the record straight, after rumors emerged that he had attended a Sean 'Diddy' Combs-themed party last week for his birthday.
After speculation circulated online, Landon was accused of attending a party in which bottles of baby oil were being handed out.

The bottles were said to be in reference to authorities finding hundreds of bottles of baby oil after raiding Combs' properties.
Combs' residences in Los Angeles, California, and Miami, Florida, were subject to raids by Homeland Security back in March 'as part of an ongoing investigation'.
In September, the 54-year-old rapper was arrested at Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York, after being indicted by a grand jury. He was charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion - charges of which he pleaded not guilty.
Following the backlash online, Landon has addressing the controversy in a video.
"I'd like to come on here and apologise and address the fact that people are saying I had this whole themed birthday party," he said.
"First off, I've not had a birthday party. My birthday party is next week.
"What exactly happened was, we all went to Nobu for my birthday, me and my family and my friends.
"After Nobu my friends wanted to go celebrate so my friend contacted a club promoter.
"The club promoter then said, 'hey, this guy is having a birthday party tonight, do you guys want to come to this party?'
"He said he'd give us a table and a bottle and make sure we're all good to go so we're like okay it's my 21st let's all go out and do something."
Landon continued: "So we all arrived to this club, just me and my friends, we go to the table... everybody's saying 'why didn't you leave straight away?'
"And that was because I didn't know what was going on right away. It was a dark environment and all I could really see was another table having flashing bottles being brought out.
"The bottles had flashing lights underneath them so I wasn't able to distinguish what they were.
"I'm just thinking they're bringing out tequila with the bottle... I have no idea what's going on at this point.
"And then they bring bottles out to our table and that's when I visibly notice that they have light up baby oil.
"I didn't pick up the bottle once and I do not condone it. I just went to a club to celebrate my birthday and ended up in a bad situation."
In the caption, he added: "My apologies go out to everyone I hurt — this wasn’t my idea and I never wanted that to happen."
